What Is Pilates-Informed Physiotherapy?
Pilates-Informed Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation approach that integrates Pilates-based movement principles into a physiotherapy program.
It is not a fitness Pilates class. Instead, it uses movements, breathing, and core activation as tools to support safe movement and motor control.
Dahora may use this approach to:
• Support recovery after injury or surgery
• Restore safe, efficient movement
• Improve posture, balance, and stability
• Build confidence in movement and reduce pain
What to Expect in an Assessment
During your initial session, Dahora will:
• Assess your injury, posture, and movement control
• Identify weakness, stiffness, or compensations
• Discuss your goals and any movement limitations
• Introduce gentle guided movements to observe how your body responds
How It Works
A Pilates-informed physiotherapy program may include:
• Clinically guided exercises integrated into rehab for pain management, postural correction, and functional movement retraining
• Core and postural retraining
• Manual therapy or stretching
• Education on alignment, breathing, and safe movement
• Progressive strengthening and home exercise guidance
Every exercise is chosen for therapeutic purposes, focusing on muscle coordination, stability, and motor control, rather than fitness or aesthetics.
