Welcome to The Studio at Physio Down Under in Singapore
Pilates is a method of exercises aimed at strengthening and stretching the body in a balanced way, with an emphasis on core strength to improve general fitness and wellbeing. It was developed by German-born, Joseph Pilates, who realised through his personal experience that mental and physical health went hand in hand. Joseph Pilates immigrated to the US in the 1920s and opened a studio in New York, where for several decades he taught his method, called ‘Contrology’.
Pilates exercises are done on a mat or using special equipment, such as the Reformer, Cadillac and Chair. The equipment has a system of pulleys and springs, handles and straps, which can provide either resistance and/or support, depending on the individual’s needs.
Regular and consistent practice of Pilates, taught by well-trained instructors, can help improve the following:
- Posture
- Muscle tone
- Balance
- Joint mobility
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Stress and tension
In pelvic health, Pilates-based exercises can help women, men and children improve and/or manage conditions such as:
- Incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Pelvic girdle pain (pre and postnatal)
- Back pain (pre and postnatal)
- Abdominal muscle weakness/separation (Diastasis Recti)
- Post surgical stiffness and weakness (Abdominoplasty, hysterectomy, prolapse repair, mastectomy, prostatectomy, hernia repair)
At Physio Down Under, clients have access to specialist physiotherapy assessment of their posture, movements as well as their pelvic floor and abdominal muscle function. We pride ourselves in offering a seamless journey for women, men and children into a Pilates program, if they wish to do so. Our Pilates instructors have specific training in pelvic health conditions and receive further in-house supervision and mentorship.
