DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO NEEDS OUR HELP?
PRACTICE SPOTLIGHT Amit Gaglani, PT, OCS
Greetings! My name is Amit and I am happy to let you know a little bit more about myself and my personal interests. First and foremost, I have an amazing family and I take every opportunity that I can to spend time with them. My wife and I have three children, including two sons and a daughter, all under the age of 12, and all three of whom have unique interests of their own. My oldest son is interested in tennis and bossing around his
younger siblings, while my middle son is particularly fond of golf and attempting to boss around our 4 year old. The true boss of the family is our daughter, the youngest of the three, and she is just starting martial arts and is really into it. Like my sons, I enjoy both tennis and golf. I spend a lot of time playing those sports with them, especially on weekends. I grew up playing tennis, but I am rather new to golf and am enjoying the learning experience. I participate in a lot of martial arts with my four year-old as well, but typically as the punching bag, so that isn’t as difficult of a skill! My family and I have made a strong commitment to spending time with one another and to supporting our community, and we engage in community service events several times a year. Most recently I volunteered with other members of my children’s school to make breakfast for local EMTs, police officers, firefighters and veterans, which was an incredibly fun and rewarding experience. The biggest take-away fact to know about me is that plain and simple, I enjoy helping people. There is a line from one of my favorite movies that I love repeating: “You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you’ll win no matter what the outcome.” This line is delivered by Robin Williams’ character in Patch Adams, and it resonates with me deeply. I bring this mindset to my own practices in helping others as well as I can.
