This client made incredible improvements in her shoulder blade mobility. We worked on specific back extension exercises on the reformer to release stiffness and build strength in her upper back.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b45d479b-cd37-4d93-9c8a-e9c42e7dd874) - [Video: For conditions like sciatica, the reformer can be an amazing tool.

It's this focus that creates real change.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/20429136-cfb7-46d6-968c-3ccc46dee6eb) - [Video: Achieving a split requires both flexibility and strength.

Because I am a physiotherapist first, I do not just count reps. I use the machine to adjust your alignment and isolate the specific muscles causing your pain, whether it is sciatica, chronic shoulder stiffness, or simple muscular imbalances. When you walk into my HSR Layout studio, you will not find mindless repetition. My sessions are built around the Reformer, Cadillac, and stability props because they provide the external feedback you simply cannot get on a mat. ### Why a Physio-Led Approach Matters Standard fitness classes often prioritize speed, which can aggravate existing injuries. Since my foundation is 9 years of physiotherapy, I use the equipment to manage conditions like nerve pain, spinal decompression, and post-injury rehabilitation. When we work on hip mobility or shoulder blade stability, the equipment acts as a support system, allowing us to safely target the deep stabilizer muscles that are often ignored. ### What to Expect in Our Sessions * **Mind-Muscle Connection:** We focus on the quality of the movement. If you are doing a pelvic bridge, we are checking that your glutes are firing correctly and your spine is not compensating. * **Customized Resistance:** We use springs and pulleys to grade the load. If you are recovering from an injury, we scale the resistance to match your capacity, not the other way around. * **Prop Integration:** From Pilates rings to stability balls, I incorporate props to fix imbalances like 'tech neck' or rounded shoulders effectively. Whether you are dealing with chronic pain or just want to build deep core strength without the bulk, this space is about purposeful movement. It is about learning how to use your body better, so you can walk out of the studio feeling more aligned than when you arrived. ## About Sara Najafi I am Sara. I moved from Iran to India and built my career on physiotherapy, but movement has always been my language.
