Clinical Pilates
If you want to rebuild strength, control, and confidence in how your body moves, Clinical Pilates bridges the gap between treatment and returning to work, sport, or exercise .
Here Are A Few Reasons To Try Pilates
You have pain or flare-ups when returning to activity, exercise, or work
You’ve finished physio but don’t feel ready for regular workouts or sport
You’re recovering from injury or surgery and rebuilding strength
You’re returning to exercise after pregnancy, injury, or time away
You feel weaker or less stable than before
You’ve tried physio but don’t feel fully better
What Makes Pilates “Clinical”?
Clinical Pilates is not a Pilates studio class.
Sessions at Range are guided by physiotherapist Christina D’Aoust and begin with a one-on-one assessment.
Here are key differences that make Clinical Pilates different:
- Guided by a rehab professional
- Exercises chosen for your needs and goals
- Progression based on how your body responds
- Equipment that supports or challenges you
Common Myths About Pilates
Isn’t Pilates just core exercises?
Core control is part of it, but Clinical Pilates focuses on whole-body strength, coordination, posture, breathing, and movement efficiency. The goal is not isolated ab work — it’s helping your body work together more effectively.
Do I need to be flexible or fit to start?
No. Most people begin Clinical Pilates while recovering from something. The equipment can both support and challenge you, which makes it accessible at nearly any stage of rehab.
Is this only for people who are injured?
Not necessarily. Clinical Pilates can help people recover from injury, surgery, or childbirth, and is also a great option for anyone wanting a safe, guided way to get back into exercise or to start building strength.
How It Works
Start With An Assessment
Starting with a physiotherapy assessment means your program is safe, personalized, and aligned with your goals.
Progress Each Session
Each session, exercises are introduced and progressed gradually as your strength, control, and confidence improve.
On It's Own Or Alongside Physio
Clinical Pilates can stand on its own after assessment or be paired with physio as part of your rehab plan if needed.
