How clinical Pilates helps you unlock new patients as an allied health professional

In a time where we’re becoming more and more aware and conscious of our health and wellbeing, in many different aspects, it’s increasingly important as an allied health professional to set yourself apart and continue unlocking and reaching new clients with your services and expertise.

Not only does continually expanding your client base open up new employment opportunities and enhance your earning potential, it also keeps your job dynamic, interesting and challenging. And after all, wouldn’t you rather help and support as many people as possible in their pursuit of their individual health goals? Luckily, clinical Pilates allows you to do exactly that.

Clinical Pilates equips you with the skills and knowledge to understand and address a broad range of health concerns, conditions, abilities and goals. Particularly when you’ve studied an evidence-based course built upon extensive science and research like our APPI Clinical Pilates Certification, you develop such a strong, comprehensive understanding of human anatomy – giving you the best chance of working with whatever condition or requirement your patients may present to you with. In developing your knowledge and expertise around the human body, you’re able to work with a greater range of patients, and confidently support them in working towards their health objectives – whatever they may be!

Here are some of the many ways in which clinical Pilates effectively allows you to unlock new patients in your career as an allied health professional.

1. Potential patients will be more willing to demand your services if you’re certified in clinical Pilates.

When your potential patients are weighing up using your services, versus those of your competitors, they’re far more likely to opt for your expertise and support when they can see you’ve completed your certification in clinical Pilates. It’s well recognised how powerful this field is in helping people to achieve specific health goals such as rehabilitation and strengthening, so having the ability to work with an allied health professional who has completed extensive training in an area of such profound impact will make potential clients far more likely to seek your services compared to those of your competition.

Similarly, particularly if your potential patients can see you’ve opted to complete a high-quality, evidence-based education or certification like our APPI-accredited course, they’ll have even more trust in your ability to help them and support them on their health journey. So essentially, you’re likely to get far more patients coming to you, thanks to the enhanced level of trust, expertise and knowledge you can offer.

2. You’re equipped to support a much greater range of health concerns and goals.

Clinical Pilates gives you such a broad and comprehensive scope of understanding and mastery over the human body. In completing your certification, you learn how to confidently address many unique and varied conditions, abilities and focuses your future patients may present with. This means you can take on a far wider range of patients with different needs and requirements.

For example, you’ll develop a deep understanding of rehabilitative and strengthening skills and movements, allowing you to work with patients of different mobilities and physical capacities. Whereas, without clinical Pilates training, your scope of knowledge and your confidence to be able to treat and support diverse health conditions and goals is far more limited, meaning so too are the types of patients you’re able to work with.

In upskilling and expanding your skillset with clinical Pilates, you significantly broaden your potential patient base and give yourself the chance to powerfully support many different people with many different backgrounds and goals.

3. You’re more confident to take on more diverse clients.

Following on from the last point, you’ll notice your confidence in working with different patients and different needs expands exponentially after completing your clinical Pilates certification. Secure in the knowledge you’ve learned the most up-to-date, evidence-based, leading-edge content developed by expert physiotherapists based on years of research and clinical practice, and taught by leading industry experts, you can be secure in the fact you’ve obtained the highest standard of clinical Pilates education available Australia-wide when you study your APPI Clinical Pilates Certification with Unite Health.

When you feel more confident in your skillset and knowledge base, the career opportunities are endless. Not only does this leave you feeling more able to pursue new job openings (and feel worthy of obtaining these jobs!), it also allows you to take onboard new patients with conditions you may not have worked with in the past, assured in your ability to manage and support them due to your enhanced understanding and knowledge base.

You develop such a thorough understanding of the human anatomy and how to work with it in any circumstances, which leaves you free to challenge yourself in your career, your pursuit of new opportunities and greater earning potential, and your willingness to take on new and diverse groups of patients.

4. You can continue to broaden your potential patient base by pursuing further upskilling opportunities.

And the fun doesn’t stop there! Once you’ve completed your APPI Clinical Pilates Certification, your depth of knowledge and understanding equips you perfectly to pursue further education and upskilling opportunities and courses, such as our APPI Ante Post Natal Online Reformer or Matwork training, our Mindfulness, Breathwork and Meditation for Pilates course, or our Therapeutic Yoga course.

These more specific courses mean you can work with even more different types of clients (for example, pre- and post natal women or patients recovering from injury), again expanding the scope of your work and the impact you’re able to have. You’re suddenly able to open all these doors to new and diverse patients and needs, which again elevates and accelerates your career, and keeps things interesting and dynamic for you!

As an allied health professional, your potential to positively impact the lives of many is endless. And in completing your APPI Clinical Pilates Certification, you’re actively choosing to make more of a profound impact on a greater number of patients in your practice. You’re allowing yourself to support people with different abilities, needs and goals, and in doing so you’re elevating your confidence, knowledge and understanding of the human body in the process.

These things combined mean you’re able to achieve superior health outcomes for your patients, and pursue more job opportunities and greater earning potential in the process. Clinical Pilates is a one-way ticket to expanding your potential patient base in your work as an allied health professional, and to feeling rewarded and fulfilled in your work as a result.
