What is it?

CLINICAL PILATES PHYSIOTHERAPY

Clinical Pilates physiotherapy treatments are offered by registered physiotherapists. They primarily focus on Pilates as a form of movement rehab, but might also include standard physio approaches, like hands-on care, other exercises, and education. Every client will get a full physio assessment to ensure the treatment is tailored to address their issues and meet their goals. 

We use clinical Pilates in the treatment of specific conditions like incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain, and it is also great for prenatal and postpartum care. These appointments can be used as a sole treatment approach for your pelvic health concerns, or can be booked in addition to pelvic floor physiotherapy appointments for a more well-rounded approach.

Our 1:1 Pilates sessions are offered by Pilates instructors, and are great for ongoing exercise and maintenance.

PHYSIOTHERAPY SUPPORT WORK

If you’re currently working with a Cheerful physio, we also offer 1:1 rehabilitative Pilates with Pilates-trained physiotherapy support workers. Your physiotherapist will incorporate these movement-based sessions into your treatment plan, helping you work towards your goals. If you get referred to a physiotherapy support worker as part of your care plan, you will get a receipt for physiotherapy support work, which may be claimable under regular health benefits. Your Cheerful physio can help recommend the best option for you.

How it can help?

For Every Body

Pilates meets you where you are at and bends itself to make sense for your body, your needs, and your goals. 

Care Complement

We often use Pilates in addition to pelvic floor-specific treatments to teach clients how to move their bodies in more optimal ways.

Build Strength and Support

Pilates targets the quieter muscles in the body – the deeper layers of support for your skeleton – to make sure they are online and not being drowned out by the louder, powerful muscles. This helps build strength and integration from the inside out, as well as optimal resilience for sports, play, and other activities.
