Exercise Classes Services in Singapore
Physio Asia Therapy Centre in Singapore provides Exercise Classes Services, including core strengthening, personal training tailored to your body type, and Physio-Led Pilates. All classes are guided by licensed physiotherapists, ensuring exercise is both safe and effective.
What Do Our Exercise Classes Services Include?
Our Exercise Classes Service in Singapore is built around three core offerings: core strength training, personalised training for your body type, and Physio-Led Pilates. Each is guided by a physiotherapist, so exercise is tailored to your individual condition and goals rather than following a generic programme.
Core Strength Training
Good core strength is important at every age and fitness level. Core muscles are made up of the superficial and deep abdominal muscles, the deep stabilising muscles of the lumbar spine and pelvis (lower back), and the thoracic and cervical spine (mid and upper spine). The core is where your centre of gravity is located, and it provides support, stability, and a solid foundation for the rest of the body to function well.
A weak core can make you susceptible to:
- Poor posture
- Lower back pain
- Muscle injuries
- Poor fitness level
Our Exercise Classes Services aim to help you:
Your first session is an individual assessment, used to set goals based on your starting fitness level, before grouping clients accordingly. Book your assessment to get started.
Personal Training For Your Body Type
Exercise helps with more than weight management – it builds muscle, increases bone density, reduces stress, and improves coordination, posture, and balance. However, setting goals beyond your current limitations can lead to overdoing exercise and causing injury.
Many people discontinue their exercise routine, or exercise irregularly, due to:
- Lack of conditioning
- Aches and pain in the muscles or body
- Insufficient knowledge of correct techniques or equipment
- A boring exercise routine
- Injuries to muscles, tendons, or joints
No two bodies respond to exercise in the same way. Factors such as body type, existing injuries, flexibility, and daily activity levels all influence which exercises are safe and effective for you. A programme that works well for one person may place unnecessary strain on another, which is why personal training led by a physiotherapist starts with understanding your individual movement patterns before any exercise is prescribed.
Our Exercise Classes Services help you set goals within your limits and maximum potential, to reach the best level of fitness for you – starting at home with small props if needed, and progressing to clinic-based equipment. If you’d rather begin at home entirely, our Home-Based Physiotherapy service can bridge you into a class-based programme when you’re ready.
Sessions are adjusted as you progress, so the intensity and type of exercise evolves alongside your improving strength, mobility, and confidence, rather than remaining fixed at the starting level. This ongoing adjustment helps reduce the risk of plateauing or re-injury as your fitness improves.
Physio-Led Pilates
Pilates is a system of therapeutic exercises originally developed in the 1920s by Joseph H. Pilates, designed to stretch, strengthen, and balance the whole body with an emphasis on breath, mindfulness, alignment, and coordinated, flowing movement.
As a comprehensive movement system, Pilates can be individually tailored to your needs and goals, whether for overall fitness and wellbeing, athletic training, rehabilitation, or pain management. Pilates exercises can be modified to suit almost anyone, regardless of age or fitness level.
The Importance of the Core in Pilates
Core strength is the foundation of Pilates. The core muscles are the deep, internal muscles of the abdomen and back. When these muscles are strong and functioning well, as trained through Pilates, they work together with the more superficial trunk muscles to support the spine and movement. As core strength develops, stability improves throughout the torso — this is one way Pilates helps address back pain, as the trunk is properly stabilised, pressure on the back is relieved, allowing the body to move more freely and efficiently.
Why Choose Physio-Led Pilates?
Current research supports retraining the deep stabilising muscles for patients with low back pain. Physio-Led Pilates focuses on retraining and recruiting these stabilising muscles (core stability), alongside improving posture, strength, and flexibility.
An initial assessment of your core muscles is conducted using advanced tools, including Real-Time Ultrasound and a Stabiliser Bio-feedback system, to support correct activation techniques for these deep muscles. While Pilates can be highly beneficial for patients with certain injuries, it needs to be specific to the individual rather than used as a generic tool. Physio-Led Pilates – distinct from generic Pilates classes – applies carefully selected exercises to patients with specific injuries, supporting optimal gains while minimising the risk of injury aggravation.
