Shveta Jones, PT DPT, COMT SFDN-1 MFD-Cert FR-Cert, Astym-Cert BRM Owner of Strive PT

Shveta Jones spent half of her childhood first in Queens, New York, and then in her native country of India before moving back to the U.S. at age 15 to live with her aunt and attend school in Connecticut. Her aunt eventually retired to Sedona, Arizona, which is how Shveta found her way to the Grand Canyon State. Inspired by her paternal grandfather’s successful rehab following a stroke, Shveta began volunteering at a physical therapy clinic shortly after moving to the U.S. She was intrigued enough to pursue P.T. as a career path in college at Northern Arizona University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science, and a minor in Physical Sciences in 2000. She went on to earn a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from NAU in 2004. With always the dream of opening her own business someday, she initially worked in an in-network, traditional PT setting for 13 years as a staff PT and eventually, as a clinic manager as well. Feeling frustrated with the constraints of insurance limiting her ability to be the best medical provider for her patients, she left her job and opened her own business, Strive PT in 2018. As a performance-based orthopedic specialist, Shveta is very passionate about helping her patients create more resiliency in their bodies through helping to build a whole new awareness and recognition of how to use their bodies. When she’s not helping her patients live better, more active lives, Shveta enjoys hiking, running, working out, reading, watching movies, and spending time with her dog, her cat, and her husband.
