Rebalance Rehab Pilates: A Smarter Path to Movement and Wellness

Finding a sustainable path to improved movement, strength, and well-being doesn’t have to be complicated. At Rebalance Rehab, Pilates isn’t just another fitness class—it’s a carefully designed system that bridges the gap between rehab and lifelong wellness. Whether you’re bouncing back from an injury, seeking effective exercise with expert guidance, or wanting gentle movement that meets you where you are, our Pilates studio offers something for everyone.

The Rebalance Rehab Approach: More Than Just Exercise

Pilates is more than just a workout—it’s a proven, science-backed way to restore balance, build core strength, and improve overall function. Established in early 20th-century Germany, Pilates was designed to unify body and mind, emphasizing informed movement and total body integration. At Rebalance Rehab, we take these benefits and infuse them with a clinical, holistic approach.

Unlike traditional workout routines that isolate muscle groups, Pilates at Rebalance treats the body as an interconnected whole. This means you’re not just strengthening or stretching; you’re optimizing how your muscles, joints, and nervous system work together. Our instructors—each certified in the respected STOTT Pilates method—deliver programming that emphasizes optimal posture, breath, functional core strength, and mindful movement.

Key features of Pilates at Rebalance Rehab:

• Clinical expertise: Classes are led by skilled Pilates instructors and, often, physiotherapists with experience in both rehabilitation and movement science.

• Wholistic focus: Sessions go beyond muscle toning, targeting healthy posture, sustainable movement, and overall well-being.

• Accessible to all: Whether you’re starting fitness for the first time, resuming after injury, or pushing for athletic performance, you’ll find an option that’s right for you.

What Sets STOTT Pilates Apart?

Pilates has evolved since its origins over a century ago, and at Rebalance Rehab, we rely on the best: STOTT Pilates. This contemporary approach integrates everything we now know about biomechanics and therapeutic movement, making it a safer and more effective option for everyone.

STOTT’s five core principles guide every class:

1. Breathing: Three-dimensional breathing supports the body’s core, helping you move more efficiently and with greater control.

2. Pelvic placement: Learn to stabilize and move safely with effective lumbar support, whether your spine is in neutral or imprinted position.

3. Rib cage placement: Maintain stability and connection for better posture and more power in every movement.

4. Scapular stabilization: Healthy movement of the shoulder blades means less neck and shoulder tension, improved upper-body strength, and freedom from strain.

5. Head and neck alignment: Proper placement protects the cervical spine and supports total-body movement, reducing headaches and discomfort.

Each class at Rebalance incorporates these principles to help you gain strength and flexibility while minimizing risk. Novices and seasoned Pilates practitioners alike benefit from a foundation of safe, effective movement, regardless of their starting point.

A Clinic Designed for Your Progress

Located in Chilliwack, Rebalance Rehab stands out as the only Pilates clinic in the area fully equipped with STOTT Pilates Reformers. The Reformer is Pilates’ signature tool: a sliding carriage that uses springs and pulleys for resistance. With a Reformer, you can adapt nearly any exercise for your body, performing movements in a lying, seated, or standing position. This adaptability makes Pilates accessible to people of all abilities and backgrounds.

Our studio’s modern equipment allows for adjustable resistance, so exercises can be leveled up or down as you gain confidence and strength. Our instructors take time to help clients set up safely, understand the mechanics, and progress comfortably at their own pace.

Pilates Classes for Every Ability and Goal

No two bodies or movement journeys are alike. That’s why our class schedule offers such a variety, each tailored for distinct stages and goals.

Intro to Pilates

Perfect for anyone new to Pilates or exercise, or those coming back after time away due to injury or health changes.

The 60-minute introduction course sets you up for success, covering the basics of movement, Reformer use, and Pilates principles. Supportive instructors address any questions, helping you build competence and confidence from your very first class.

All Levels Reformer

For anyone seeking holistic, accessible fitness.

These group classes have a welcoming, supportive format suitable for novices and returning regulars alike. With smaller group sizes, instructors can personalize routines and offer real-time form corrections or modifications. Expect a well-rounded full-body workout with extra attention to core, posture, and flexibility.

Intermediate Pilates

A step up in challenge, intensity, and precise movement.

Intermediate classes dial up pace and complexity, layering in advanced Reformer work, deep core activation, balance, and flexibility drills. Participants are coached to master technique as they build strength and resilience—ideal for those already comfortable with Pilates basics.

Gentle Pilates

For rehabilitation, recovery, or those who need a slower pace.

Created by both physiotherapists and Pilates instructors, Gentle Pilates is meant for individuals with injuries, chronic pain, mobility issues, or anyone seeking mindful, stress-relieving movement. Each session prioritizes safety, slow progression, posture correction, and gentle muscle conditioning. This option is especially valued by older adults or those looking for a soft entry into fitness.

Pre-Natal Pilates

Support for expectant mothers at any pregnancy stage after 12 weeks.

Pregnancy changes posture, mobility, and core stability. These small-group sessions help minimize discomfort and safely train pelvic floor, core, and breathing patterns. Using the Reformer promotes safe resistance training and movement variety—plus, it’s all done in a supportive environment with guidance from instructors trained in pre- and post-natal care.

Private & Semi-Private Sessions

One-on-one or bring-a-buddy for personalized coaching.

If group classes aren’t your style or you have unique needs, individual sessions are customized for your recovery, strength, flexibility, or sports goals. Semi-private sessions with a friend or family member let you share the motivation with added individual guidance.

More Than a Workout: Community, Support, and Progress

At Rebalance Rehab, Pilates is not simply a class—it’s a supportive atmosphere focused on growth. Our staff is invested in your learning, progress, and success, ensuring you’re never just a number in a crowd. Our philosophy values collaboration, communication, and education, so you leave each session with new insights about your own body.
