About Pure Physio
Unique Hybrid Model With You In Mind
Pure Physio Physical Therapy was established in August 2020 by Dr. Harsh Prajapati, PT, DPT in order to provide personalized orthopedic physical therapy services in our clinic, at your home, or your office. During the Covid-19 pandemic, Dr. Harsh provided PT care to his family and friends while following all safety precautions. He noticed with an undivided hands-on approach, patients were making quicker improvements with less treatment sessions. Pure Physio was then established with this high-quality treatment model in mind. Initially we only provided services at home, which we still continue to do. Since then we have grown and established an outpatient office while prioritizing each patient's needs with our true one-on-one model.
We offer more than orthopedic physical therapy services. We can also help you reach your full potential in your sports with performance training and recovery. As evidence-based clinicians, we are research oriented and add new treatment approaches to achieve best results for you. Please refer to our list of services to know more about our treatments.

Dr. Harsh was accepted into an accelerated combined-degree program in 2010. He received his Bachelors of Science degree in Biology from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2014 and went on to earn Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) credentials from Rutgers University in 2016. At Ramapo College, he was a member of the NCAA Men's Volleyball team and several healthcare-related clubs. Since 2016, he has gained experience in multiple settings while serving patients in both New Jersey and California.
Dr. Harsh's passion for orthopedic and sports care stems from his management of his own injuries as an athlete. He continues to participate in competitive indoor and beach volleyball tournaments. In his spare time, he also enjoys weight-lifting, biking, swimming, and hiking because he truly believes in the motto "movement is medicine."
Aside from physical activity, Dr. Harsh enjoys spending time with friends and family, going to the beach, and reading.
