Clinical Pilates is getting common in rehabilitation regimes. Not only is great for strengthening your core muscles, but it also stretches and tones other muscle groups to improve overall health and fitness.

What is Clinical Pilates?
Clinical Pilates is the perfect workout for rehabilitation and injury prevention in Singapore. Like traditional Pilates, it focuses on strengthening the deep postural muscles of the abdomen and spine. With a few sessions of practice, patients will also improve their overall core stability and posture. Besides, it is a customized program that aims to restore a full range of movement to the injured area without aggravating it. As a result, it helps each patient return to their normal daily routine and even improves performance.
