Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is part of our Physiotherapy offerings at Flow Physio + Wellness using the main principles of Pilates exercises: concentration, centering, control, breathing, precision, and flow to program effective therapeutic sessions for physiotherapy patients to help them address their concerns and meet their goals. We use re-assessments and outcome measures to gauge progress and create new, challenging programming for patients.

Did You Know: Pilates was originally called ‘Contrology’ and invented as a form of active rehabilitation for soldiers, and later, dancers.

    • One-on-one

    • Sessions combine clinical expertise in Physiotherapy and Pilates to support your recovery and long-term wellness.

  • 1:1 Clinical Pilates appointments are individualized, physiotherapy-directed sessions that use Pilates-based exercises as part of an active rehabilitation program. These sessions are considered a follow-up physiotherapy appointment and are appropriate for patients who have already completed an initial assessment with one of our physiotherapists and have discussed Clinical Pilates as a recommended treatment intervention.

    During your initial physiotherapy assessment, the physiotherapist evaluates your condition, movement patterns, and rehabilitation goals. If Clinical Pilates is determined to be beneficial for your recovery, the physiotherapist will design a personalized Pilates-based rehabilitation program tailored to your needs.

    Your 1:1 Clinical Pilates sessions are then carried out by a member of our team of Physiotherapist Assistants (PTAs) who are certified Mat and Reformer Pilates instructors. Working under the supervision of the physiotherapist, they guide you through the individualized exercise program, ensuring proper technique, safety, and progression.

    These sessions focus on:

    • Improving core strength and stability

    • Enhancing mobility, posture, and body awareness

    • Supporting recovery from injury or pain

    • Progressing strength and functional movement patterns

    Because the program is prescribed and overseen by your physiotherapist, the sessions remain part of your physiotherapy treatment plan. The PTA’s role is to expertly deliver and progress the Pilates-based active rehabilitation program while keeping your physiotherapist informed of your progress.

    Overall, 1:1 Clinical Pilates appointments provide targeted, supervised exercise therapy that supports your rehabilitation goals and helps you safely return to optimal movement and function.
