Pilates
| What is Pilates? Joseph Pilates was living in England, working as a circus performer and boxer, when he was placed in forced internment in England at the outbreak of WWI. While in the internment camp, he began to develop the floor exercises that evolved into what we now know as Pilates Mat Work. He began working with and rehabilitating other detainees who were suffering from diseases and injuries. After WWI, he packed his bags and took a boat to New York City, where he and his wife Clara taught in their studio from 1926-1966. Pilates passed away at the age of 87 in 1967, but his exercises and theories are with us to this day, having been modified by advancements in the understanding of core stability and neuromuscular function. |

I have been a patient at your institute for approximately 3 months. I have found the facility to be first class. Of particular interest is the ability of Toronto SEMI to provide both an initial medical assessment, followed by recommended physiotherapy, and as necessary, subsequent medical assessments. A fully equipped gymnasium with the appropriate physio equipment is available to support a cross-section of physiotherapies. The facility itself is centrally located (with access by subway, bus or car) with ample free parking. The physiotherapists are all licensed and certified, and take a personal interest in one's progress. This coupled with a friendly pair of receptionist's rounds out the overall ambience of Toronto SEMI.
