PAIN AND INJURIES ARE COMMON. GETTING HELP SHOULD BE TOO.

Clinical Pilates in Campbell River

What to Expect

Move Better. Build Strength. Feel Confident in Your Body.

Clinical Pilates is an individualized, physiotherapist-led approach to movement and exercise that combines the principles of Pilates with physiotherapy assessment and clinical reasoning. It focuses on improving strength, mobility, stability, posture, body awareness, and movement control to support rehabilitation, prevent injury, and help you return to the activities you love.

Whether you are recovering from an injury, managing persistent pain, navigating pregnancy or postpartum recovery, or looking to improve your overall strength and movement, clinical Pilates offers a personalized approach to help you move with greater confidence.

Please choose a 60 minute Initial Clinical Pilates appointment if you are new to our clinic, have not had an appointment within 6 months or if this is a new area of concern. This type of appointment is recommended for those who experience chronic pain, are prenatal/postpartum or whose injury would benefit from core stability or low impact strengthening.

Please book between four to six 30 or 45mins follow up appointments at 1x/wk intervals to ensure continuity of care and practitioner availability. This may be changed after your initial appointment depending on your specific needs.

***Please note that these appointments are intended to address specific conditions/pain/injuries and are not billable to extended health benefits if used to work on general wellness/fitness.

Clinical Pilates can be a valuable part of physiotherapy treatment for a wide range of conditions and rehabilitation goals, including:

Back and neck pain: Improve strength, mobility, movement control, and tolerance for daily activities.
Pelvic health concerns: Support pelvic floor coordination, core function, and pressure management for concerns such as urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse, when appropriate.
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery: Maintain strength and mobility during pregnancy and support a gradual, individualized return to exercise after birth.
Hip and pelvic girdle pain: Improve hip strength, pelvic control, and movement confidence.
Injury rehabilitation: Rebuild strength, coordination, balance, and functional capacity following injury or surgery, when appropriate.
Persistent pain: Develop movement confidence and gradually improve tolerance for everyday activities.
Sports performance: Address strength and improve control, and support a safe return to sport.
General strength, mobility, and conditioning: Build whole-body strength, improve body awareness, and support long-term physical health.

Clinical Pilates can be used on its own or alongside other physiotherapy treatments, depending on your needs.

Clinical Pilates uses controlled, purposeful movements and targeted exercises to address your individual needs and goals. Unlike a traditional group Pilates class, clinical Pilates is guided by a physiotherapist who considers your injury history, symptoms, movement patterns, strength, and functional goals when developing your exercise program.

Exercises may be performed on a mat or using specialized equipment, such as a Pilates reformer, with resistance and positioning adapted to your abilities and progress.

Your program may focus on core and pelvic floor function, breathing and pressure management, balance, coordination, flexibility, or whole-body strength. Exercises are progressed as you improve, helping you develop the strength and control needed for everyday activities, sport, and exercise.

Your first clinical Pilates appointment begins with a conversation about your health history, current symptoms, activity levels, and goals. Your physiotherapist will complete an individualized assessment, which may include evaluating your strength, mobility, posture, breathing, balance, and movement patterns, depending on your needs.

Together, you will develop a treatment plan tailored to your goals. You will then be introduced to appropriate Pilates exercises, with guidance on technique, breathing, and movement control. Exercises will be modified as needed to ensure they are appropriate for your current abilities and stage of recovery.

No previous Pilates experience is necessary. Whether you are new to exercise or already physically active, your program will be designed around you and progressed at a pace that feels appropriate.
