Meet The clinic Founder

Ashesh Vyas

Dr. Ashesh Vyas, PT, DPT

Dr. Ashesh Vyas is a licensed physical therapist and the founder of Active Kare Physical Therapy, located in Sterling Heights, Michigan. Born and raised in India, Ashesh moved to the United States and now resides in Troy with his wife and son. When he isn’t working in the clinic, he enjoys spending quality time with his family, particularly his son. For Ashesh, these moments are precious and help him stay grounded, serving as a reminder of the importance of balance in life. 

Interestingly, he didn’t always know he wanted to pursue a career in physical therapy. After finishing high school, he was still in the process of figuring out his career path. It was during this time that he discovered the field of physical therapy. What attracted him to it was its ability to help people heal naturally, without the need for surgery or medication. The idea of empowering people to regain their physical abilities through natural methods resonated deeply with him. Over time, this initial attraction blossomed into a genuine passion, turning physical therapy from a career into a meaningful purpose. 

Ashesh gained experience working in multiple clinics before deciding to start his own practice. Through this experience, he noticed a significant problem within the healthcare system, particularly in physical therapy clinics. Many clinics prioritized numbers over patient outcomes. Patients were often double or even triple booked, leading to rushed care where their specific needs were not adequately addressed. Ashesh knew this approach wasn’t conducive to healing and recovery. He believed that patients deserved better – care that was not just about reducing pain but about achieving real, lasting recovery. This realization led him to open Active Kare Physical Therapy. 

At Active Kare Physical Therapy, Ashesh and his team focus on providing one-on-one treatment for each patient. This personalized approach allows them to give their patients the time and attention they deserve. Ashesh firmly believes that physical therapy isn’t simply about alleviating pain; it’s about restoring movement, promoting an active lifestyle, and enabling patients to live life to its fullest. The goal is not to avoid activities due to pain but to address the root cause of the pain, strengthen the body, and get back to doing what patients love. 

This philosophy is what sets Active Kare Physical Therapy apart from other clinics. The clinic’s mission is to help patients stay active, confident, and in control of their physical health. By focusing on individualized care, Ashesh ensures that patients receive treatment tailored to their specific needs, which fosters a deeper connection and more successful outcomes. Active Kare Physical Therapy isn’t just a place for rehabilitation; it’s a place for true recovery and empowerment. 

His dedication to personalized care and patient well-being has shaped the clinic into a space where healing happens holistically. His commitment to quality treatment and patient-focused care is at the core of our values. The clinic’s goal is simple: to help each patient not only recover from pain but also regain their strength and independence, ultimately allowing them to enjoy life fully and without limitations.
