Stretching Course

Stretching Course

The Academy successfully hosted a two-session Pilates-inspired stretching course on 11 and 18 November 2025, aimed at improving flexibility, reducing muscle tension, and boosting energy for participants of all fitness levels.

Under the expert guidance of coach Mr. Ng Ka Long (King Sir), attendees engaged in dynamic stretching and mobility exercises in the first lesson, focusing on whole-body activation and coordination. The second session concentrated on sculpting the lower body and core, using targeted Pilates movements to tone hips, legs, and abdominals while enhancing core strength.

The course took place at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building in a supportive and comfortable setting. Participants reported increased flexibility, improved posture, and a refreshed sense of well-being by the course end.
