Frequently Asked Questions

The goal of Hand Therapy is to reduce pain and help you regain normal function of your upper limb. That being said, sometimes working muscles and stretching joints may cause soreness or discomfort after the treatment is over, but any tenderness usually dissipates within a day or two.

Our Hand Therapist will work within your pain threshold to help you heal, and restore movement and function. It is therefore important that you communicate the intensity, frequency and duration of pain to the therapist so that she can adjust your treatment plan if required.

Physiotherapy uses proven techniques to help restore movement and function to anyone affected by an injury, disability or health condition. It is therapy that can help you achieve movement and reduce pain.

Podiatry or podiatric medicine is a branch of medicine devoted to the study, diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle, and lower extremity. Common conditions that a Podiatrist manages are foot pains such a bunions, plantar fasciopathy or Morton’s Neuroma, skin conditions such as the daibetic foot or the fabrication of in-soles for any biomechanical faults that one might present with. 

Yes! That would be ideal! This will ensure that you have the dedicated time and attention of your therapist to address your concerns. This will also be fair to those who have made an appointment so that they too, may benefit from the attention of our therapist. 

In Singapore, it is not mandatory to get a doctor’s referral to see a therapist. If our therapist decides that you require a specialist doctor’s input after assessing your condition, you will be referred on accordingly.

Some health insurers may also require either a GP or specialist doctor’s referral before they authorise coverage of therapy fees. Please check with your insurance company if you require any clarification.

Each session usually lasts between 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your condition, progress and type of treatment required and rendered.

Please bring along your doctor’s referral form or memo if you have one, as well as any records of medical investigations (e.g. X-Ray reports, MRI or CT scan reports) that have been done when attending your first therapy session.

During your first session, our therapist will obtain pertinent medical information from you and do an initial assessment of your condition. Our therapist will then customise a treatment plan and home exercise programme (if needed) based on your specific condition, symptoms and needs. Time will be taken to answer any questions you may have regarding your condition and will advise you on how you should manage and care for your condition.

You should expect a good dose of education so that you will be empowered with the management of your condition as well!
