International Course History

Clinical Pilates education across Europe

Since its foundation, the Instituto Português de Pilates Clínico (IPPC) has contributed to the professional development of physiotherapists through clinically oriented, evidence-informed education delivered across several European countries.

Over the years, the Institute’s programmes have expanded internationally, supporting consistent training standards and practical, patient-centred approaches to Clinical Pilates.

Now rebranded as the European Clinical Pilates Institute, the organisation is entering a new phase of international development. Building on nearly two decades of educational activity and more than 250 Clinical Pilates courses delivered across Europe, the Institute is planning a broader global expansion, with new programmes, partners, and training hubs in additional countries
