What Patients Think About Roshan Devarakonda

"My Physical Therapist, Roshan, Is Excellent!"

“My experience at MTI has been a very positive one. My physical therapist, Roshan, is excellent. He is highly skilled, knowledgeable, caring and responsive. He has helped me greatly to improve hip/spine problems that I have struggled with for years. Both the office sessions with him and the exercise program he designed for my home use are well-thought out. Roshan is a good listener, and he willingly adjusts treatment plans based on changes in my condition. He’s also a good communicator – patiently answering all of my questions and giving me a clear understanding of what he’s doing and why. I’m thrilled to be feeling so much better – and I credit Roshan with getting me to this point in my recovery.”

"Definitely a good fit for me."

The staff and therapist were all friendly and professional. My physical therapist explained everything in detail and I feel like I know what to expect when I go in for future appointments. Definitely a good fit for me.

"Great specialists"

Great specialists – I worked with 4 of them already so I could say that all of them are great. They helped me to cure from 2 painful waist problems, one very serious with neck-to-spine joint, and prevent arthritts development in finger joints.

About Roshan Devarakonda

Roshan first became involved with physical therapy when experiencing an ankle injury from running. He was blown away by his PT’s attention to detail and was inspired to pursue the profession himself. In 2015, Roshan graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He then went on to receive his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Bradley University. After graduation, Roshan began his career in Houston, TX and completed his orthopedic residency in 2021. He then became a clinical instructor of physical therapy students and one of the instructors for the residency program he participated in.

Roshan enjoys treating all patients with orthopedic conditions, but he especially likes to work with patients who have had orthopedic surgery or overuse injuries. He has a strong passion for working with individuals who want guidance on beginning or resuming an active lifestyle. Roshan grew up playing soccer and running, and he developed a strong background with these activities.

Outside of the clinic, Roshan enjoys playing with his cat “Tiger”, watching Premier League soccer, exercising in the gym, running, and hiking. He has a goal of visiting every national park in the United States and has currently checked off 28 of the 63 national parks.
