Rebecca Badgujar

PT

Physical Therapist

becky@leadbetterrehab.com

My name is Becky and I graduated with an undergrad bachelor's degree in biology from Westminster College in PA where I competed in swimming and became an NCAA DIII qualifier in 200IM. I went on to Nazareth College where I obtained my Doctor in Physical Therapy.

 

After graduation I worked in an outpatient Physical therapy office that specialized in Neuro treatment of strokes and TBI. I then moved onto an outpatient orthopedic office where I worked for 6 years and had the opportunity to work with local athletes in Hartford County. After having my first daughter, I changed course to work at a hospital and there I provided acute Physical Therapy. I did Acute care for 4 years and after working in a hospital with COVID for 2 years I decided to job hunt again. I was so happy to find the Leadbetter’s and return to the outpatient PT setting.  

​

Professionally I have taken courses for Maitland and McKenzie spine treatment techniques, kinesiotaping, Rock Taping, Graston techniques and cupping techniques. My passion is swimming which I did through college. I also enjoy softball and played for 12 years through to High school. I did Gymnastics for 11 years and Cross country in High School. I currently also assist as a part time Swim Coach for a local team. I enjoy crafts, food/restaurant recommendations, travel, spending time with family and my too biggest accomplishments are my 2 daughters.
