Pilates and Rehabilitation
Personal Best Physiotherapy and Pilates is the first clinic in Toronto to offer Pilates to compliment the client's rehabilitation program.
Pilates is a series of non-impact exercises designed by Joseph Pilates to develop strength, flexibility, balance, and inner awareness.
By working on and correcting muscle imbalances, Pilates strengthens the core, allowing other types of exercises to be added such as cardiovascular and weight training.
Pilates rehabilitation is no longer limited to just orthopaedics but benefits individuals with neurological impairments, cardiopulmonary restrictions, chronic pain, women's health needs, performance enhancement needs, arthritic impairments and other movement disfunctions.
Personal Best Physiotherapy and Pilates have a fully equipped Pilates studio including reformers, cadillacs, wall racks, chairs and arc barrels. In addition there are massage balls, fitness circles, thera-bands and therapy balls.
Personal Best Physiotherapy and Pilates integrates hands-on therapy following the McKenzie Approach which uses manual therapy treatment for the acute phases and instills patient responsibility and self-management in the later stages of healing, with a safe and effective exercise program for rehabilitation, pilates.
Pilates is added to the therapies because it is one of the gentlest programs to use in combination with physiotherapy (post injury) and is extremely successful in preventing injuries.
