Clinical Pilates is a rehabilitation-based approach to Pilates guided by a physical therapist and instructors who have trained in clinical rehabilitation principles.

Unlike traditional Pilates classes, Clinical Pilates is designed to address injuries, pain, pelvic health concerns, and movement dysfunction through individualized exercise programming.

Led by our pelvic health physical therapist and Pilates instructor, Tyler Kornblum, this approach combines Pilates principles with evidence-based rehabilitation to help clients restore strength, improve alignment, and move more efficiently in daily life.

Each participant receives personalized exercise progressions based on their body, symptoms, and goals to ensure movements are both safe and effective.

WHO IS CLINICAL PILATES FOR?

Clinical Pilates is ideal for individuals who want the benefits of Pilates but need a more tailored, therapeutic approach, including those who:

• Are recovering from injury or surgery  

• Experience low back, hip, or pelvic pain  

• Have pelvic floor dysfunction (incontinence, prolapse, postpartum recovery)  

• Want to improve core strength, posture, and stability  

• Feel traditional fitness classes move too quickly or lack individual guidance  

• Want to transition safely back to exercise after physical therapy  

• Want to improve long-term movement quality through proper neuromuscular reeducation  

HOW IS CLINICAL PILATES DIFFERENT?

Traditional Pilates sessions typically focus on general fitness and group instruction, where everyone performs similar exercises based on choreography.

Clinical Pilates is different because it:

• Is led by a licensed physical therapist or an instructor with advanced training from a physical therapist  

• Uses clinical assessment and movement screening  

• Modifies exercises based on injury history or symptoms  

• Progresses movements using rehabilitation principles  

• Focuses on quality of movement rather than intensity  

• Integrates pelvic floor, breathing, and deep core function  

The goal is not just to exercise, but to restore optimal movement patterns and build lasting strength that supports everyday life.
