The pursuit of fitness is no longer just about achieving a great physique. Today, true wellness demands a holistic approach — one that balances activity with recovery, strength with resilience, and physical health with mental clarity. This philosophy is now embodied in the newly opened Polarity Wellness Club (PWC) at The Podium, Ortigas Center, a premium destination redefining integrated health management in the Philippines.

PWC represents the next chapter for the Strength in Movement (SIM) Group, a pioneer in physiotherapy, strength, and wellness services. Evolving from the highly regarded Polarity Physiotherapy Center, PWC is the sister company of two premium gyms: Kinetix Lab and Kinetix+ . With the gyms’ core focus on strength and conditioning, and their integrated offerings of dedicated Recovery Rooms and on-staff nutritionists, this powerful alliance firmly establishes the SIM Group’s commitment to holistic health. By uniting expert physiotherapy, world-class training, and dedicated nutrition, SIM provides a complete ecosystem for overall strength and lifestyle improvement. PWC is a membership-based wellness club designed for professionals, athletes, seniors, and performance-driven adults who seek structured, long-term health investment.

A Clinically Anchored Wellness Nexus

Located on the 4th floor of The Podium, PWC offers a refined membership experience that unites physiotherapy, recovery, strength pathways, and mental wellness under one space. This transformation reflects both a timely industry shift and the growing demand for proactive, sustained well-being among Filipinos.

“The evolution reflects a clear shift in what people now need from a wellness and rehabilitation institution,” said Luis Gatmaytan, administrative director and Physical Therapy Program director for the Strength in Movement Group. “Polarity Physiotherapy Center built a strong reputation for clinically-driven physiotherapy, but clients today require a system that supports them far beyond addressing isolated pain. PWC is the natural progression of that insight — a sophisticated, clinically-anchored, long-term wellness environment designed for clients who want structure, guidance, and sustainable results.”

Beyond Symptom Relief: Future-Proofing the Body

Unlike traditional physiotherapy clinics that focus on episodic care, PWC embraces a continuity model. Its philosophy is rooted in the belief that wellness is achieved by nurturing both body and mind, guiding individuals toward resilience, balance, and lasting vitality.

“Most people only seek treatment once pain already disrupts their life, or they train without fully understanding how to maintain their bodies sustainably. There is often no single place that connects rehabilitation, recovery, strength development, and overall wellness planning in a continuous and clinically grounded way,” explained Dr. Fahim James Pasha, DPT, associate manager of the Physiotherapy Department and Chief Physiotherapist at PWC.

This distinction is why PWC is a club, not a center. It is a membership-based community that emphasizes commitment, progressive health management, and integrated care. Clients are empowered to strengthen, maintain, and elevate their well-being through a consistent system supported by clinical expertise.

A Full Suite of Services for Long-Term Health

PWC offers a comprehensive range of services designed to meet the needs of diverse clients — from corporate professionals managing stress to seniors committed to active aging.

Physiotherapy & Movement Recovery — One-on-one sessions focused on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and rebuilding confidence in movement.

Scoliosis & Spine Programs — Non-invasive, therapist-led interventions for posture, alignment, and long-term spine health.

Geriatric Care & Active Aging — Programs designed to improve balance, strength, mobility, and overall quality of life for seniors.

The Recovery Lab — Featuring the Kinetix+ recovery experience, including infrared sauna, cold immersion, contrast baths, and recovery boots to accelerate healing and performance.

Mental Wellness Support — Coaching and group classes that provide guided approaches to stress management and behavioral consistency, seamlessly integrated with physical care.

These offerings reflect PWC’s belief that physical and mental wellness cannot be separated. Stress, emotional load, and clarity directly influence muscle tension, posture, fatigue, and recovery. By addressing both aspects, clients are better equipped to heal, sustain progress, and achieve long-term transformation.

Professionalism and Precision: The PWC Standard

PWC’s difference extends beyond its integrated service model to its client experience. The club is designed to reflect the caliber of care provided — refined, intentional, and conducive to focused sessions.

“Our team is selected for technical maturity, critical thinking, and alignment with our professional standards. They undergo continuous training and mentorship grounded in clinically-driven practice,” shares Mr. Gatmaytan.

The service standard is defined as “professional warmth, not personal familiarity” — supportive, empathetic, and human, yet always within clear professional boundaries to ensure clinical integrity.

“Our clients arrive carrying pain, and they place extraordinary trust in our hands,” Dr. Pasha added. “From the moment someone walks through our door we want them to feel something powerful: instant calm, genuine care, and absolute confidence that they’re in the right place. That’s why every detail — the lighting, the music, the warmth of our team — is designed to ease clients’ stress before a single treatment begins.”

Vision for the Future: Leading Integrated Wellness in the Philippines

Looking ahead, PWC aims to be recognized as the country’s trusted leader in integrated wellness and Active Aging. By combining physiotherapy, recovery, strength, and mental resilience under one space, PWC sets a new standard for holistic health care in the Philippines.

“Our priority is to help clients build, protect, and sustain strength across their lifetime,” said Mr. Gatmaytan. “When you are stronger, you move better, feel better, think better, and live better. That’s the philosophy we live by.”
