Dr. Tejal Ramaiya

PT, DPT, CSCS, CMTPT/DN, TPI-MP2
Founder & CEO

I was born in England, moved to Africa, then migrated to the United States with my family at the age of 4. Up until the age of 10, I moved around many places until I finally settled in Pennsylvania where I was mostly raised. I attended the University of Pittsburgh and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Neuroscience after which I attended the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (currently Rutger’s University) to pursue my Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Since graduating in 2002, I worked at many facilities including hospitals and outpatient orthopedic private practices. I truly enjoy working with the active middle aged adult who wants to live a pain-free and active life.

I earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2002. Since then, I have always prioritized growth and learning in all aspects of my life, both professionally and personally. I currently hold multiple certifications in:

• Strength and Conditioning
• Graston Technique
• Trigger Point Dry Needling
• Titleist Performance Institute Golf Fitness Assessment

I also have extensive training in postpartum and pelvic floor physical therapy, exercise prescription, and various manual therapy techniques.

As the founder and owner of Body Moksha Physical Therapy, my focus is on building a business that delivers an exceptional patient experience while creating a great place for our team to work and grow. I’m passionate about building a team of talented, driven, supportive and compassionate people who genuinely care about what they do and the people they serve.

I focus on leading and developing our team, creating a strong culture, managing the financial side of the business, and developing strategies for continued growth. I also love building relationships within our local business community and finding ways to support and learn from one another.

My goal is to build a team and a practice that set the standard for what physical therapy should be — clinically excellent, relationship-driven, and deeply connected to the community we serve.

Core Values: Always keep learning. Family first. Connect emotionally. Work hard, play hard.

Winston S. Churchill — ‘Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.’

I want to change how transactional healthcare has become. Health is the foundation of everything — our ability to work, care for our families, do the things we love, and enjoy life. Yet too often, patients feel rushed, unheard, and treated like a diagnosis rather than a person.

I believe healthcare should be personal, holistic, and relationship-based. Our health is about so much more than an injury or a diagnosis. It’s about how we move, what we eat, how we think, and the fears and challenges that shape our lives.

I created Body Moksha Physical Therapy to offer a different kind of experience: truly individualized, one-on-one care where we take the time to understand the whole person, build meaningful relationships, and help people feel their best. From the very first interaction, we want every patient to feel genuinely cared for — like they are our only patient.

I am incredibly proud of the team I have built. Not only are they exceptionally skilled in their clinical practice, but they possess a deep, genuine compassion for our patients and each other. Watching our long-term patients continue to return over the years is one of the most rewarding parts of my job; it serves as a testament to our growth and confirms that the environment we have cultivated is truly valued by those we serve.

Outside Of Work:

When I’m not working, I love to spend time with my family. I love traveling, exploring new places, and eating new foods. I enjoy taking care of my health, eating foods that nourish me, and moving my body so I can feel strong and energetic.

Dr. Tejal’s office is incredible. I came into her practice a few weeks ago barely able to walk, care for my child, or perform basic daily functions. She suggested physical therapy and dry needling. I have only had just a few sessions and I am already able to live again! I am truly grateful for the support, expertise, and dedicated care that Dr. Tejal and her team are giving me. – Sincerely, a very grateful patient!

I only have great things to say about Body Moksha and Tajal (and team). Tajal is very knowledgable in all areas of physical therapy as well as dry needling, but for me she also stands out for being very friendly and compassionate. I usually come in for dry needling, which I use to address my chronic back pain as well as the occasional sports injury. One dry needling session with Tajal will have your strained muscles feeling much better and help you get back to the activities you love. She and her team are 10/10!

Dr Ramaiya and her team are very knowledgeable and quickly designed a plan to help me overcome a severely strained back muscle. The back muscle injury was present for over a year and after multiple unsuccessful visits with other PT’s – Dr Ramaiya was able to get me going again on the golf course within a month or so- I don’t normally take the time to write reviews so that in and of itself tells you my PT experience was exceptional!!
