TORONTO'S INTEGRATIVE WHOLE HEALTH CLINIC AND BOUTIQUE PILATES STUDIO
Clinical Pilates
Recover, rehabilitate, and restore with Clinical Pilates, a movement-based approach that bridges the gap between traditional rehabilitation and mindful exercise. Our programs are designed and led by licensed healthcare professionals who integrate clinical expertise with Pilates principles to help you move better, feel stronger, and prevent future injuries.
What is clinical pilates?
Clinical Pilates uses movement as medicine. It’s a personalized, evidence-based form of exercise therapy that supports injury recovery, improves mobility and strength, and enhances overall function. Unlike general fitness Pilates, Clinical Pilates is guided by a healthcare provider who tailors each movement to your body’s specific needs and goals.

From there you will receive:
- A customized Pilates-based program that will be carried out under the supervision of your practitioner

Sessions are performed on the Pilates Reformer, allowing for precise, supported, and progressive movement. Depending on your treatment plan, your practitioner may also incorporate the Pilates Chair and smaller props such as resistance bands, stability balls, and magic rings to target strength, stability, and mobility.
