Meet Hetal (Hay-th-ul) Acharekar, Owner of PerformanceAbove
PT, MPT, CAFS, MAT
Hetal has led a distinguished career as a clinical physical therapist for the past 15 years, as a leading authority in Orthopedic and Sports injuries, and is the owner of PerformanceAbove, LLC. She graduated with her Master's in Physical Therapy in 2006.
She loves playing golf. Then she decided to blend golf with biomechanics of the body to help optimize the swing while helping prevent the most common injuries. Hetal uses a quantitative research-based approach and video analysis to assess mobility, strength, speed, agility, and endurance from head to toe (Golf Performance). She then customizes a golf performance program based on the results and your goal.
Hetal's expertise is in chronic injuries, especially those of the back and hip that are associated with repetitive movement dysfunctions. Much of Hetal's work focuses on the integrative concepts of posture, stability, and mobility, and how they influence movement.
She holds a Master in Physical Therapy (MPT), Certification in Allied Functional Science (CAFS), Certification in 3-dimensional Movement Analysis and Performance System (3DMAPS), and Movement Assessment Tool (MAT Level 2) Certified.
In the realm of community service, Hetal stands as a dedicated advocate, actively contributing to various organizations as an engaged board member.
Client Testimonials
“After 1 assessment I could see what my weaknesses were in my body and my golf swing. I learned my hip turn had to be worked on and also my flexibility and balance. Since then with the training and the exercises, you showed me I have seen a huge improvement in my ball striking and power.”
— Kenny E, Golf Coach
