What is Pilates with a Physiotherapist?

So much more than just crunches!

Let’s start with: What is Pilates? 

Pilates is a form of exercise built on precise movements with a focus on working from our center, and moving with control. Pilates strengthens our entire body – not just our core.

 Pilates also helps us to lengthen out, improve our coordination and balance. It’s a great form of exercise on its own or as a complement to other activities.

Perhaps most importantly, Pilates connects us to our breath and deepens our connection to our body, grounding us in the present moment.

But Pilates with a Physiotherapist takes it a step further:

As physiotherapists, we bring: 

  • The ability to safely modify exercises for injuries
  • A highly trained eye for movement patterns
  • Exercises matched to your level, progressing safely at your pace
  • Expertise in pain management and exercise recovery

Client Love

"I've been participating in Susan's Pilates classes for about 4 months now. Her classes have helped me continue being active and motivated which is important to me. Susan is responsive to the class needs for general and specialized Pilates work. Her classes are challenging and she is clear and concise with her instructions and corrections. I'm happy I joined and that the classes are ongoing."

"I've been taking Pilates classes with Susan for a few years now and I have found her to be the best Pilates instructor. As a runner, I was always looking for ways to strengthen my core, upper body and to support my lower body to avoid injury. As a result of Susan’s Pilates, I'm stronger than I have ever been and injuries have been held at bay. Susan takes the time to understand your goals and any injuries or weak spots you may have."

My Approach

To Pilates

In my Pilates classes, mindfulness meets movement for a workout that strengthens both your mind and body. 

Each class begins with a moment of connection – to your body, your breath, yourself – before moving into a full-body workout. 

Guided by my passion for mindfulness and my 17+ years as a physiotherapist, I bring a quieter, slower pace that refines your form, expands your breath, and settles your mind. 

You’ll move with intention, awareness, and presence, leaving each class feeling grounded, energized, and reconnected.

As I sat at the clinic desk, glancing at my schedule, I couldn’t help but envy a colleague’s less hectic schedule. While I rushed through 20 minute appointments, she enjoyed a more relaxed pace with 30 minute slots.

Fed up with rushed consultations and my constant clock-watching, all I wanted was a more easeful workload and a deeper connection with my clients.

Eventually, I found my solution: Pilates. Recognizing its benefits, both personally and professionally, I integrated it into my physiotherapy practice. 

By extending appointment times and getting clients more involved in their care, I could offer a more attentive and long-term approach. 

Grateful for the inspiration from my colleague, I've never looked back. Pilates is now a key component of the proactive, holistic and compassionate care I offer my clients, supporting them in living their best lives for the long-term.
