Pain is your body’s way of signaling a perceived threat, it doesn’t always mean something is broken.

Understanding it differently can make a big difference:

✨ Your nervous system can signal threat even after tissues have healed
✨ Persistent pain isn’t necessarily a sign of ongoing injury
✨ Safe, guided movement helps retrain the nervous system and reduce fear

Guided, supported movement and understanding how your nervous system works can help you regain confidence in daily activities, reduce fear, and move with more control.

10/22/2025

Movement isn’t about pushing harder, it’s about what feels safe and possible today.

Even small, guided movement can retrain the nervous system, build strength, and reduce fear around pain.

Our combination of physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates creates a supportive, evidence-based approach that helps clients regain confidence and control in everyday life.

Questions? Our DMs are always open.

We treat those who often fall through the cracks: complex pain, migraines, flare-ups that won’t settle.

When we receive a referral, we don’t overwrite the great work you’ve already done. Instead, we step in as the next step, bringing consistency, reinforcing safety messages, and building on what’s already there.

We also collaborate closely with pelvic physios, OTs, and counsellors, because chronic pain rarely requires just one practitioner.

If you’ve got a client who’s stuck, let’s connect.

10/20/2025

Chronic pain can feel isolating, but you’re not alone…

We work with clients navigating persistent pain and complex conditions, providing skilled physiotherapy, education, and Pilates-informed movement.

We aim to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and guided every step of the way.

Even if you’ve tried multiple practitioners before, there’s still hope for movement, understanding, and a felt sense of safety in your body.

We don’t pull from cookie-cutter treatment plans here. Every session is shaped with the person in front of us, and that includes noticing when a nervous system needs less, not more.

Trauma-informed care isn’t a box you check. It’s the ongoing practice of creating safety, flexibility, and choice, for both clients and staff.

That’s why our staff meetings often include coffee, a reformer, and one question on repeat: ”What did the client say about how the session felt for them?“

Meet Catherine 👋

Catherine’s journey to Pilates began through her career as a dance artist and arts administrator, a natural transition that lets her share her love of movement and deep understanding of the human body with her clients.

She’s a fully certified STOTT PILATES instructor and trained in Pain Reprocessing Therapy, bringing tools to support folks navigating chronic pain. Catherine’s goal is to help clients connect with their bodies, expand their range of motion, and carry more ease into daily life, all in a welcoming, inclusive environment.

Our team had the pleasure of welcoming Alex Lukac, OT, who shared with us the important role occupational therapists play in supporting persons with chronic pain.

Some key takeaways:
✨ The Transitional Pain Clinic at VGH, and how to connect clients with this resource.
✨ The many ways OTs support persons living with chronic pain.
✨ How ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions can affect a client’s ability to pace, follow through with exercise, and stick with routines (such an eye-opening discussion!).

We’re so grateful for the chance to learn and grow with colleagues from other professions who share our passion for chronic pain care.

Unlike fitness-focused Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates is tailored to your body, your needs, and your condition. It’s designed for folks navigating chronic pain, injuries, complex conditions, and anyone needing an active form of rehab.
By combining physiotherapy principles with guided, graded movement, Clinical Pilates helps you:

🌿 Build strength and stability safely
🌿 Move with a felt sense of safety
🌿 Reintegrate movement into everyday life

We use Clinical Pilates alongside physiotherapy to give clients a structured, evidence-based approach to managing pain, not just exercise, but movement that supports recovery and resilience.

10/13/2025

For those living with chronic pain or complex conditions, complete rest can actually make things harder.

Movement, when guided, graded, and safe, helps your body regain strength, improves mobility, and retrains your nervous system to feel safer in everyday activities.

At Embodied, we focus on physiotherapy combined with Pilates-related movement so you can move with a felt sense of safety, gradually rebuild confidence, and regain control over your daily life.

Rest has its place, but so does moving with support.

10/11/2025

At Embodied, mentorship doesn’t end with orientation, it’s woven into how we practice.

We still run inservices (last month? A deep dive into cueing the foot with the Bobath concept. We got so excited we forgot to take photos 🤓).

We schedule 1:1s, not just to talk technique, but to check in on the emotional weight of this work too.

Because supporting folks with complex pain requires constant reflection, curiosity, and community. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

10/10/2025

Clinical Pilates isn’t just exercise, it’s a way to apply physiotherapy principles in movement.

When combined, the two approaches help folks navigate pain, build strength safely, and reconnect with their bodies in everyday life.

This integration is at the core of what we do here at Embodied. 🌿
