Clinical Pilates – Richmond
Richmond, BC Clinical Pilates
At Pain Free Health Richmond, we incorporate the principles of traditional Pilates into physiotherapy sessions to support the healing process and enhance rehabilitation.
Sessions take place on the Reformer, with exercises carefully tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. Each session is guided by a licensed physiotherapist and billed as part of your physiotherapy treatment.
Why a Physiotherapist Should Conduct Pilates Sessions:
Why the Reformer Is Safe and Good for Your Joints:
The Reformer is a versatile piece of Pilates equipment that uses springs and a sliding carriage to provide resistance and support during exercises. This low impact design is particularly beneficial for those with joint issues, as it allows for controlled, smooth movements that reduce stress on the joints. The Reformer supports the body in a way that enables precise, targeted exercises while improving strength, flexibility, and alignment without the harsh impact often associated with traditional workouts. Its adaptability makes it safe for people of all fitness levels, especially for those recovering from injury or managing chronic joint pain.
