Rigakubody Partners with Albirex Niigata Singapore for Health and Sports

Rigakubody Forms Official Partnership with Albirex Niigata Singapore

Rigakubody, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, is dedicated to enhancing global health through the expertise of physiotherapists. Recently, the company has signed an official partnership agreement with the professional soccer club Albirex Niigata Singapore, which competes in the Singapore Premier League.

This collaboration aligns perfectly with both organizations' visions, combining Rigakubody's healthcare expertise with Albirex's dedication to the local community. Together, they aim to create new value in promoting health and contributing to society through sports.

Leading the Singapore Market with Innovative Healthcare and Sports Integration

With the mantra of "Transforming the World into a Healthier Place Through Expertise," Rigakubody has expanded its Pilates business across five countries: Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Australia. In Japan, they operate 71 locations, while abroad, they have seven studios—with Singapore standing out as the country with four outlets. To further establish their presence, a new studio in Bukit Timah is set to open by May 2025.

The machine Pilates studio, Luluto, offers unique services designed by physiotherapists aimed at addressing customers' needs, such as improving physical discomfort or enhancing posture. This approach not only contributes to better quality of life (QOL) in daily activities but also meets the specialized needs of professional athletes regarding conditioning and performance enhancement.

The partnership was established through mutual interests in health and community well-being, as both Rigakubody and Albirex aim to make positive contributions locally. Through this collaboration, Rigakubody will strengthen its brand and accelerate local developments while fostering new connections between healthcare and sports in Singapore, striving for a richer lifestyle for its residents.
