From Therapy to Pilates: Expanding Your Career Horizons
As healthcare and fitness continues to evolve, therapists are searching for new ways to keep up with the growing profession. Mainly, ways to enhance their practice and deliver better patient outcomes, while keeping up with new research and techniques as well. One very effective approach is integration Pilates Training into rehab and physiotherapy, particularly through the Australian Pilates and Physiotherapy Institute (APPI). According to recent research, by incorporating pilates into rehab treatment plans, health professionals can broaden their expertise, generate better rehab outcomes and create bigger business opportunities. In this blog, we’ll explore the advantages of APPI Pilates certification, real-world success stories, and the financial benefits of blending Pilates into your rehab programs.
Why Should Therapists Learn Pilates?
- Improved Rehabilitation Results
- Pilates focuses on core strength, flexibility, and posture, which are essential for recovery.
- It helps address conditions such as chronic pain, postural imbalances, sports injuries, and post-surgical rehabilitation.
- By combining Pilates with traditional therapy, patients receive a more comprehensive, functional recovery.
- Expanding Your Patient Base
- Enables you to work with athletes, prenatal/postnatal clients, seniors, and individuals recovering from injuries.
- Makes your clinic or practice stand out by offering a complete rehabilitation and wellness program.
- Preventive Healthcare Approach
- Pilates is not just for rehabilitation; it is an effective tool for injury prevention.
- Supports musculoskeletal health, reducing the likelihood of repeat injuries.
- Diversification of Services
- Therapists can provide personalized one-on-one Pilates therapy, group sessions, and even virtual programs.
- Expanding into therapeutic Pilates adds a fitness and wellness element to your practice.
A Few Success Stories of Therapists Benefiting from APPI Pilates:
Across India and multiple Asian countries we have had therapists come in to take our APPI pilates course and we would love to share some of them with you:
- Dr Moushumi Kuvawala, Mumbai & Pune – An APPI specialist who has been working as a physio for over 30 years with musculoskeletal and neurological clients. She not only introduced pilates into her practice but has also brought APPI pilates training to India and has created an entire brand and company on it.
- Dr. Hemakshi Basu, Mumbai – A specialist in movement rehab, sports rehabilitation and musculoskeletal client, who did most of her studying in Australia. She introduced Pilates into her practice to help professional athletes recover and prevent injuries, enhancing both her reputation and clientele. She has also been able to conduct mat and equipment pilates classes for her clients, allowing them to move from rehab into general exercise and fitness. She now works with several celebrity and high profile clients.
- Dr. Persis Elavia, Mumbai – A therapist who studied in London and Australia for years completed her APPI certification with us. SInce then, she has expanded her clinic’s services by offering Pilates-based group classes for patients with postural issues, women’s health issues and chronic back and knee pain.
Financial Advantages of Combining Pilates and Physiotherapy
- Increased Revenue Potential
- Pilates-based therapy sessions allow therapists with an international certification to charge higher consultation fees.
- Group classes and online sessions generate more income than standard one-on-one therapy sessions.
- APPI is one of the only certifications teaching anatomy and movement principles within their courses. So NO need to do unnecessary additional courses, everything is included in our matwork, equipment and clinical matwork courses.
- Competitive Edge
- Stand out from competitors by offering Pilates-based rehabilitation and fitness solutions.
- Gain referrals from orthopedic doctors, sports coaches, and gynecologists who trust the benefits of Pilates for recovery and wellness.
- With an international certification such as APPI, you build an international community that creates a wider scope for job opportunities and collaborations
- Better Client Retention
- APPI is one of the only certifications teaching anatomy and movement principles within its courses so you build research based knowledge which reduces the onset of negative outcomes.
- Pilates encourages long-term engagement, keeping patients invested in their recovery and fitness journey.
- Builds loyalty and referrals, ensuring a steady flow of clients.
- Flexible Career Opportunities
- Pilates provides physiotherapists with work-life balance by offering a blend of clinical practice, wellness coaching, and fitness training.
- Professionals can create customized programs suited to various client needs, increasing overall job satisfaction.
It is important to note here that the financial advantages are based on what certification you do. Completing an internationally based certification such as APPI helps ensure the points above. However, it is much harder to generate the same financial revenue with non-international certifications as they aren’t considered valid, recognised certifications in India or any other countries.
