Physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates for Lasting Pain Relief
Stop masking your symptoms. Experience our PhysioPilates method—where clinical physiotherapy meets functional Pilates to treat the root cause of your pain, not just the location.
My approach, PhysioPilates, uses specialized equipment like the Reformer to build strength and stability. This video shows how we can create a low impact yet high intensity workout, perfect for rehabilitation and improving overall fitness by focusing on controlled, precise movements.
I was honored to guide renowned actress Ms. Shanti Krishna on her Pilates journey. In this video, she shares her experience of regaining flexibility, core strength, and balance at my studio, highlighting how PhysioPilates is beneficial for professionals with demanding lifestyles.
This before and after image shows a significant improvement in posture for one of my clients. By addressing the root cause of his chronic pain through targeted physiotherapy and Pilates, we were able to realign his body, reduce strain, and help him move without discomfort.
Knee pain when climbing stairs is a common issue I address. This video demonstrates a few key exercises, like the clam shell and wall squats, that I prescribe to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee, improve joint stability, and make daily movements pain free.
Sciatica can cause debilitating nerve pain down the leg. I teach my clients specific, gentle movements like the piriformis stretch and table top sliders to release pressure on the sciatic nerve, reduce inflammation, and manage symptoms effectively.
"Tech neck" or a Dowager's Hump is a postural issue I see frequently, even in young adults. This is often reversible with targeted exercises like the shoulder and pectoral stretches shown here, which help strengthen the upper back and correct forward head posture.
Beyond one on one sessions, I offer group mat Pilates classes. These sessions are a great way to build a strong core, improve posture, and join a community of individuals focused on mindful movement and long term health.
About this collection
Before we start any session, I use goniometers and postural grids to map your movement. This isn't just a workout; it is a clinical diagnostic process. By identifying if your chronic shoulder pain is actually linked to a thoracic spine imbalance or core weakness, we create a roadmap that actually works—instead of just giving you generic stretches that do not stick.
At Body & Mind, we reject the idea of 'quick fixes.' True recovery lies in understanding your biomechanics. Our Vidyaranyapura studio serves as a dedicated space for rehabilitation, far removed from the crowded, high-noise environments of conventional gyms.
The PhysioPilates Method
This is my clinical integration of physiotherapy and Pilates. When you come in, we do not just put you on a machine. We assess you using goniometers and postural grids to see exactly where your movement patterns are failing.
Whether you are struggling with chronic sciatica, recovering from surgery, or dealing with 'tech neck' from a desk job, the protocol is the same:
- Assessment: Identifying muscle imbalances and nerve impingement.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on release including Myofascial Release, dry needling, and IASTM to clear acute inflammation.
- Clinical Pilates: Controlled, low-impact exercise on our Merrithew Reformers to rebuild your core and stability.
We specialize in helping professionals in North Bangalore manage desk-related strains and helping seniors maintain mobility through safe, guided geriatric rehabilitation. If you are tired of temporary relief, let us look at the root cause.
Body & Mind PhysioPilates Studio
I am Dr. Bhavana. My practice is not a gym or a typical clinic—it is where I bridge the gap between medical rehab and functional movement. My goal is to ensure you stop coming back for the same recurring pain, whether that means adjusting your desk ergonomics or getting you comfortable on the Reformer.
