We begin with a 60-minute diagnostic session to understand your full medical history, obstetric background, and postural habits. Whether you are dealing with sciatica, pelvic pain, or chronic stiffness, I assess how your fascia, stress levels, and breathing patterns are contributing to your discomfort. You leave that first session not just with a diagnosis, but with an understanding of why your pain exists and a roadmap to address it, rather than just suppress it. ### Treating the Whole Person My philosophy is rooted in the belief that the body and mind are a two-way street. Stress, old emotions, and trauma often manifest physically, which is why my approach blends clinical physiotherapy with functional Pilates and nutrition. If we only treat the physical symptoms, the pain often returns because the underlying stressor remains. ### My Core Modalities * **Visceral Manipulation:** I use this gentle, hands-on therapy to release restrictions in the connective tissues surrounding your internal organs. This is highly effective for issues like abdominal pain, C-section scar adhesions, and digestive dysfunction. * **Clinical Pilates:** Unlike standard gym classes, these sessions are tailored by a physiotherapist. We use the Reformer, Cadillac, and Wunda Chair to strengthen your deep stabilizers—specifically the Transverse Abdominis and pelvic floor—without overloading the nervous system. * **Breathwork and Nervous System Regulation:** Many clients come to me in 'fight or flight' mode. I teach diaphragmatic breathing not just to improve oxygen intake, but to down-regulate the nervous system, which helps manage conditions ranging from pelvic floor tension to anxiety. ### Evidence-Based Recovery My practice in Vidyaranyapura focuses on long-term outcomes. We look at biomechanics and lifestyle factors. If you are a new mother dealing with diastasis recti, we don't just 'close the gap'; we retrain your core to function safely in daily life. If you have chronic joint pain, we analyze your gait and spine alignment to see where the compensation patterns started. My goal is to give you the tools to manage your own health. You are not just a patient; you are an active participant in your recovery journey. ## About Body & Mind PhysioPilates Studio I’m Dr. Bhavana. After completing my Masters in the UK, I founded this studio because I saw too many patients getting temporary relief while their root issues remained untouched. I combine clinical physio with Flow Pilates and functional nutrition to help you heal deep, not just patch up.
