Clinical Pilates
What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates an adaption of traditional Pilates exercises and theory that specifically focus on rehabilitation goals that is taught by a Physiotherapist. These exercises are taught as a part of a treatment plan that is designed for your injuries, pain, and movement concerns.
What can I expect from a Clinical Pilates session?
Our Clinical Pilates clients undergo an initial assessment to help us understand your movement patterns, strengths, weaknesses and possible dysfunction. A treatment plan will be designed to include guided exercises in our private Pilates sessions as well as at home exercises. Our goal is to help you understand how to move your body well so you do not and will not experience pain. Clinical Pilates is the perfect method to explore movement and progress strength under the watchful eye of a trained Physiotherapist. Previous Pilates experience is not required. Pilates is designed to help EVERYBODY move and feel better.
Why Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is a safe and effective whole body approach to reintroduce movement when dealing with pain, injuries, or movement dysfunction. Clinical Pilates is also an effective tool to begin to move again after major surgeries such as total joint replacements and spinal surgery. Enforcing good movement patterns through Pilates exercises can be the missing link to full recovery for those who have nagging injuries or chronic pain.
You do not need to be injured to reap the benefits of Clinical Pilates. If you're looking to improve, body awareness, strength, mobility and prevent injury this is for you too! We work with high level athletes of all ages, using Clinical Pilates as a form of cross training to improve their "game". Most importantly, it is a fun way to incorporate movement and exercise into a Physiotherapy session.
Can I bill Clinical Pilates through my Physiotherapy insurance?
Yes! These sessions will still be billed as Physiotherapy assessment/treatments as clinical Pilates exercises is just one aspect of our Physiotherapy treatments.
