Clinical Pilates in Singapore
What is Pilates?
Pilates is a form of low-impact exercise which emphasises proper postural alignment, core strength, and muscle balance. Pilates promotes flexibility while maintaining strong muscular and postural strength.
It was developed by Joseph Pilates in the 1920s as a fitness system to optimise the physical fitness of people at every level of physical ability. It requires concentration and focus to control the body through precise movements. Each exercise has a specific placement and rhythm that moves in sync with every breath. Apart from being a holistic workout, Pilates can also be used for injury rehabilitation and physical therapy.
