OFFICIAL COMPANY THERAPIST & HEALTH TEAM FOR THE
REBUILD WITHOUT GIVING UP WHAT YOU LOVE
For dancers, athletes, and active individuals, an injury can feel like losing an important part of yourself.
Too often, the advice is to “just rest” or stop completely.
​
But your recovery should be a time to GROW, not stop.
​
At Performance Pilates & Rehab, we help you heal actively and develop the strength and resilience to come back stronger than before
A DIFFERENT
APPROACH TO REHAB
You belong here if:
​
-
You’ve tried physical therapy.​​
-
Taking a break from training
-
Modifying, avoiding, or pushing through
And maybe you felt a little better…
But not stronger. Not more confident. Not in control.
So now you’re stuck:
-
Managing symptoms instead of solving the problem.
-
Working around limitations instead of building capacity.
-
Second-guessing your body.​
That’s not how you’re meant to move, and we can help!
OUR SIMPLE 3 STEP PROCESS
RECOVER
from pain or injury
You are in pain and can’t perform your best. That’s frustrating! On day 1, you and your Therapist will start treatments and create a plan to keep you moving.
We'll identify what's contributing to your injury and help you feel confident that your transition back will be a success.
DISCOVER
the root cause of your pain
We provide 1-on-1 sessions directly with your Therapist. We’ll be with you every step of the way and believe a good rehab plan can adapt to your unique needs.
​
We aspire to provide long-term solutions that get you out of pain and avoid a recurrence of your injury.
GROW
into the athlete you dream to be
Now that you’re out of pain and back to doing what you love, what will you accomplish next?
After your rehab journey is complete, we stay in your corner to help you come back stronger, more confident, and ready for whatever stage, field, or life demands of you.

Leah helped me rehab a bad sprained ankle. Leah created exercises especially for my situation, allowing me to continue dancing while recovering. My ankle hasn’t been a problem since!

I never knew ballet could feel so good. I used to be in constant pain when I danced. After working with you I can feel the correct muscles engaging and I am able to focus on enjoying my art form.

SUCCESS STORIES
WHO WE HELP
We help people who love what they do—and want a body that can support it.
​
From young dancers just beginning their training to professionals and active adults, we work with individuals of all ages and abilities who are committed to their craft and ready to take care of their bodies in a smarter, more intentional way.
OUR FOUNDER
Leah Bueno, DOMP is a former Professional Dancer, Canadian-trained Non-Physician Osteopath, and Certified Clinical Pilates Instructor, with a passion for enhancing Dance Medicine and Holistic Rehab Practices.
​
Performance Pilates & Rehab was founded with one simple goal: to ensure that every person who walks through our doors leaves feeling seen, heard, and empowered with a personalized plan that keeps them moving.
​
Leah brings a unique perspective to the healthcare field. As a former professional dancer, she understands firsthand the challenges of staying healthy and injury-free while performing at your best. Her international experience in dance has given her insight into some of the world’s most innovative and effective approaches to rehab. Inspired by these experiences, Leah wanted to create a holistic interdisciplinary clinic, similar to those popular in Europe and Canada, that focuses on finding the root cause of pain and injury while providing a supportive environment for lifelong wellness.
​
This is more than a rehab clinic. It's a place where your journey matters​.

OUR TOOLS
WHAT IS
OSTEOPATHIC REHAB?
Osteopathic Rehabilitation is a whole-body, movement-focused approach to treating pain and injury. Rather than chasing symptoms, we assess how your entire body is functioning.
Your care may include hands-on osteopathic techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and treatment of the nervous, circulatory, and visceral systems. But we don’t stop there.
We integrate individualized exercise prescription to reinforce these changes.
By combining osteopathic care with targeted rehabilitation, we help you not only feel better, but move better—and stay better.
This is how we create lasting change: by addressing the root cause, restoring balance, and preparing your body for the demands of your art, sport, and daily life.
WHAT IS CLINICAL PILATES?
Clinical Pilates is an adaptation of traditional Pilates, developed by physiotherapists and clinicians using an evidence-based approach.
We start with Clinical Pilates at the beginning of your rehab journey to help you rebuild your capacity and learn efficient movement patterns. Then progress to a more intense program to improve your strength, performance, and resiliency.
WHAT IS
STRENGTH
TRAINING?
Our work is designed to support the long-term demands of your art, sport, and life. We want your body to be strong enough to sustain what you love to do.
​
Rehab is only the beginning!
​
Once your symptoms improve, we transition your care toward building strength, capacity, and confidence in your movement.
Through performance-driven strength training, we ensure your body isn’t just out of pain—but fully prepared for the demands of your art, your sport, and your life
