At Motion Pro Health in Burnaby, we are committed to providing evidence-informed, patient-centred care that goes beyond symptom management. One of the most effective tools we offer for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and long-term wellness is Clinical Pilates—a specialized, therapeutic approach to movement led by trained professionals.

Whether you're recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or seeking to improve your posture and stability, Clinical Pilates offers a personalized, low-impact solution rooted in biomechanics and physiotherapy principles.


What Is Clinical Pilates?

Clinical Pilates is a form of Pilates that is customized to the individual and guided by a licensed healthcare provider—typically a physiotherapist or rehabilitation specialist. Unlike general Pilates or fitness-based classes, Clinical Pilates integrates clinical knowledge of anatomy, injury pathology, and movement dysfunction to help clients safely regain strength, mobility, and control.

At our Burnaby clinic, each program is tailored to your specific needs, making it an excellent option for:

  • Chronic low back or neck pain

  • Postural dysfunction

  • Post-operative rehabilitation

  • Pre- and postnatal care

  • Sports performance and injury prevention

  • Joint instability or hypermobility syndromes

  • Neurological conditions requiring structured movement therapy


How Clinical Pilates Differs from Traditional Pilates

Clinical Pilates General Pilates
  • Led by a physiotherapist or rehab professional
  • Led by a fitness instructor
  • Based on clinical assessment and treatment goals
  • Based on general fitness routines
  • Tailored to medical conditions and injuries
  • Generalized programming for healthy individuals
  • Integrates rehabilitative principles
Focuses on strength and flexibility
  • Covered under many extended health benefit plans
  • Typically not covered by insurance

Clinical Pilates uses principles of motor control, core stabilization, breath control, and postural awareness. Exercises may be performed on a mat or using specialized equipment like reformers, resistance bands, or stability balls—always under professional supervision.


The Benefits of Clinical Pilates at Motion Pro Health Burnaby

  1. Targeted Rehabilitation
    Our team designs individualized programs to support recovery from injuries or surgeries. Each session addresses underlying dysfunctions rather than simply treating symptoms.

  2. Injury Prevention
    By improving body mechanics, alignment, and core strength, Clinical Pilates helps reduce the risk of future injuries—whether in daily life, work, or sport.

  3. Improved Posture and Core Stability
    Clients often experience enhanced postural awareness and functional strength, particularly in the deep stabilizing muscles of the spine and pelvis.

  4. Safe for All Ages and Conditions
    Because it is clinically guided, Clinical Pilates is safe and adaptable for people of all ages and fitness levels, including those with complex or chronic conditions.

  5. Integrated With Your Treatment Plan
