Shahara Smith

Hi, I’m Dr. Shahara Smith, founder of FYF Physical Therapy & Wellness. I’m a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy with a passion for helping people move better, recover from injury, and build healthier, more active lives. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Health Science from Howard University before completing my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at Northeastern University. With more than a decade of experience in healthcare, I have had the privilege of working with individuals of all ages and activity levels.

I founded FYF Physical Therapy & Wellness because I wanted to provide a more personalized approach to care. I believe every person deserves dedicated one-on-one treatment that focuses on the root cause of pain and movement limitations rather than simply addressing symptoms. My goal is to empower clients with the knowledge, tools, and confidence they need to stay active and continue doing the things they love.

My clinical interests include orthopedics, sports rehabilitation, injury prevention, corrective exercise, healthy aging, and movement optimization. I also incorporate hands-on treatment, dry needling, mobility training, and individualized exercise programming to help clients achieve lasting results.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, training for a race, returning to the gym, or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, I create treatment plans tailored to your unique goals and lifestyle. I believe movement is one of the greatest investments you can make in your future, and I’m committed to helping every client move with confidence, improve their quality of life, and reach their highest potential through compassionate, evidence-based care. Through FYF Physical Therapy & Wellness, my mission is to help individuals invest in their health today so they can continue living active, fulfilling lives for years to come.
