Whether you are managing back pain at 30 weeks or trying to rebuild your core postpartum, we focus on functional, safe movements. My approach isn't about heavy gym equipment or perfect aesthetics, it is about listening to your body, managing discomfort, and building a foundation of strength that actually helps you handle daily life with your little one. My journey from pregnancy to motherhood wasn't just a personal milestone, it was a crash course in understanding what a woman’s body truly needs during these phases. As a physiotherapist, I don't believe in generic workout routines. Every movement I prescribe for my clients is something I have tested on my own body, from staying active on a stability ball until 35 weeks to gentle postnatal core restoration. ### Why a Physiotherapist-Led Approach Matters Pregnancy and postpartum aren't just times to 'get fit'—they are times to heal and prepare. When you work with me, we start with a proper assessment, not a generic class. Whether it is a 30-minute virtual session or an in-clinic visit in Bengaluru, we screen for things that matter: * **Diastasis Recti Check:** Identifying abdominal separation early so we can choose exercises that heal, not strain. * **Posture Audit:** Adjusting for the changes in your spine and pelvis caused by carrying the baby. * **Pain Management:** Focusing on the back, neck, and knee aches that often come with motherhood. ### Moving Through Every Stage We focus on functional strength. If you are pregnant, we are building stamina for labor and the endurance needed for daily life. If you are postpartum, we are taking it 'swalpa swalpa' (little by little). We rebuild your core, strengthen your pelvic floor, and ensure your fitness routine fits into a life that now includes a baby. My goal is to make healthy living easier for you, so you can be the strong mom your 'magu' (baby) needs. You don't need to starve or over-exercise; you need to move with intention and care. ## About Nisha Vijaykumar Hi, I'm Nisha.
