OFFICIAL COMPANY THERAPIST FOR THE
INJURIES DON'T JUST HURT YOUR BODY- THEY CHALLENGE YOUR IDENTITY
Performing Artists, Athletes, and Active People lose an important part of themselves when they are injured. The worst part?
Too often, they’re told to “just rest,” “limit your activity,” or even “stop dancing...moving...or playing”
We know that’s not an option for you.
At Performance Pilates & Rehab, we help you recover, stay active during the process, and come back even stronger. Our expert approach not only gets you back to doing what you love but also enhances your strength and resilience along the way.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO REHAB
We strive to be your partner in health. Because we believe your goals matter. Our mission is to provide a clear, personalized path to help you recover, thrive, and excel beyond your expectations.
-
We will NOT ask you to do your exercises on your own or pass you off to an aid
-
We will NEVER tell you to stop an activity without showing you what you can do to keep the rest of your body performance-ready
-
We will NOT give you a cookie-cutter rehab program that delays your return to what you love
-
We will NEVER discharge you until every goal in your wellness journey is met

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 VALUES
We believe in compassionate, individualized care that respects each person's unique needs and goals. And above all, we are committed to empowering our clients with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to move well for life.
INDIVIDUALIZED CARE
Every plan, every person is unique. Care that adapts to you.
MOVEMENT EMPOWERMENT
Helping you stay active during every part of your journey. For a strong, resilient body.
SUSTAINABLE STRENGTH
Building a foundation of lasting wellness that grows with you, through recovery, performance, and every phase in between.
OUR REHAB TOOLS
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a whole-body approach to treating pain and injuries. Non-Physician Osteopaths work to improve the function of every joint, muscle, nerve, blood vessel, and organ in the body, regardless of your complaint. By assessing and treating the whole, we help you heal more effectively.
​
Treatments may include gentle joint mobilizations, soft tissue work, and special techniques to support your nerves, blood flow, and organs. When your body is balanced, it can recover from pain and injury more quickly.
WHAT IS CLINICAL PILATES?
Clinical Pilates is an adaption of traditional Pilates, developed by physiotherapists and clinicians using an evidence based approach. Leah Bueno is an Instructor Trainer for STOTT Pilates and uses this method to help her clients achieve their physical goals, rehab injuries, and reduce injury risk. We start with low impact exercise to help you rehabilitate your injury. Then progress to a more intense program to help improve your movement patterns, strength, stabilization and mobility.
WHAT IS PERFORMANCE TRAINING?
All of our performance training sessions are conducted by a practitioner with a Master's in Exercise Science and is Certified in
Strength & Conditioning (S &C). We use an evidence-based approach to building strength, speed, power, and agility. Unlike personal training, S & C focuses on long-term athletic development and overall performance health.
​
We believe that your recovery shouldn't stop when your pain is gone. Once you’ve completed your rehab plan, we transition the focus to building strength, resilience, and confidence in movement.
Through guided performance-focused care, we make sure your body is not only healed but prepared for the demands of your sport, art, or daily life.​

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.
