Join us! Dr. Fatema Kanchwala is a physical therapist, movement specialist, and founder of Step Forward Physical Therapy in Westford, MA. With over 11 years of clinical experience in orthopedics, sports medicine, and pelvic health, she takes a whole-body approach to care—looking beyond the symptoms to understand how movement, strength, mobility, and daily habits can affect overall function.
Her work in pelvic health focuses on helping adults better understand changes in bladder, bowel, pelvic, and core function throughout life. She believes that symptoms such as leakage, urgency, constipation, pelvic discomfort, or changes in pelvic function should not simply be accepted as a normal part of aging. Through education and individualized physical therapy, patients can better understand their bodies, improve function, and stay active and independent.
