I’ve worked extensively with the elderly, individuals with disabilities, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and children with Autism. My experience in personal training/coaching (Issa-CPT) includes aiding those managing diabetes, PCOS, high blood pressure, among other conditions whereby I worked with the general population.
My holistic approach encompasses certifications in 200-hr yoga, breathing instruction, ISSA- nutrition, corrective exercise specialist, performance enhancement, strength and conditioning and Clinical Pilates, enabling me to provide comprehensive support for my clients’ physical and mental well-being. Additionally, my work at a sports physio clinic and a scoliosis clinic has honed my skills in aquatic therapy, spinal curvature rehabilitation, and aiding clients recovering from car accidents, knee replacement post rehab, workplace injuries, and concussions.
My goal is to empower clients not just to recover from injuries but also to enhance their lifestyles, making sustainable changes in diet and habits to optimize their health and longevity. I speak English, Gujarati, and Hindi, allowing me to connect more deeply with a diverse range of individuals.
I’m excited to bring my wealth of experience and holistic approach to Inspine Therapy, where I aim to guide individuals towards their wellness goals, promoting vitality, strength, and a better quality of life.
