Activity Heals (AH) lives true to its name. While other programmes around physical therapy, recovery and healing on average tend to be piece meal, the traits that define their wholistic approach are:
- An exhaustive debrief, to get to the root cause of an issue
- Tremendous care and empathy for their patients
- Creating a relationship of trust
- Being non judgemental and predisposed towards the truth
- Being in the present and always moving forward
- Deeper reflection and introspection, reflecting on things (thoughts, habits, schedules) that are tying you down
- Positive reinforcement
- A gruelling and regimented exercise-set tailored to your issue
The team led by Badri Rao will appeal to your true intent for being there and will develop an exercise schedule and plan to push you to your true limits to address that issue.
I was blessed to have the sagaeous guidance of Badri and Neha Harinath in addressing my mobility issues (weak ankle caused by sporting injury 8 years ago, neck and back issues, weak core strength). After a thorough debrief, I was put on a schedule for 6 days with two sessions a day - while it was exhaustive and pushed me to the limits, which I enjoyed, it also brought back the confidence and realisation that true responsibility lay with me. Through this I was able to unleash more energy, focus, declutter and keep things simple, exercise and stretch every muscle in the target injury and allied areas.
Oh yes, I'm from Mumbai and came into Bangalore just for this session - if you're in Bangalore count yourself among the lucky to have easy access to this very grounded and unassuming team of life changers! Beyond the in person sessions, my goal from the AH sessions is to sustain the benefits of the programme and I have an entire set of core exercises to look forward to at home, till I meet this fabulous team again! Thank you Neha and Badri, may your tribe increase!
