Tailored Recovery Plans

Regardless of your injury or condition, our expert Physiotherapist will take a thorough history of your condition to understand your symptoms, identify the root cause of your issue, and then treat it with a customised, tailored plan based on your goals. Physiotherapy treatment at the Rehab Centre might include:

  • Advise and Education: Nothing can be more helpful when you begin to understand what is causing your pains and discomfort and you will be more able to take charge of your recovery and your life.
  • An Exercise Plan: Exercises can help you regain strength, range of motion, and stamina as you recover from injuries or surgeries.
  • Joint Mobilisations: Joint mobilisations are a form of manual therapy that can help decrease pain and improve range of motion.
  • Soft Tissue Massage: Soft tissue massage is another form of manual therapy involving hands-on techniques to break adhesions and optimise muscle function.
  • Shockwave: Shockwave treatments deliver shock waves to injured soft tissue to reduce pain and promote healing.
  • Dry Needling: Dry needling can decrease pain and tightness, increase blood flow, and reduce pain in tightly bound muscle fibres.
  • Electrotherapy: Electrical nerve stimulation primarily relieves pain, but can also reduce inflammation and strengthen muscles.

You may also benefit from pilates and fitness training on your way to recovery and beyond.

Meet Our Principal Physiotherapist

Jansen is our Principal Physiotherapist who graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor
of Physiotherapy in 2014. Upon returning to Singapore, he worked at Singapore General
Hospital rotating through Burns, Geriatrics, Cardiopulmonary and Outpatient Musculoskeletal
departments.

FAQ

What is Physiotherapy?

Who needs Physiotherapy?

across a wide range of illnesses and conditions. Even though Physiotherapy is commonly
associated with helping people with musculoskeletal conditions (muscle, joint and bone problems), we also assist with improving overall physical function for a better quality of life.

What Our Physio Patients Are Saying

Physiotherapist Derek is very detailed in his diagnosis and caring. He will follow up on the condition of his patient through personal messages to ensure his patients have no problem executing his recommended exercises at home. Thank you so much, Derek.

– Kelvin Hor

Derek’s skill in manual therapy has helped in relieving some of the pain in my shoulder and neck. He was patient in explaining to me the science behind the pain caused by my injuries. I saw him on 2 occasions, once when I had ankle injury and more recently for shoulder/neck injury.

– Kathleen Chew

I had a knee problem that had become quite debilitating to the point I could hardly walk around the house. After seeing knee specialists, paying for MRI and osteopath sessions there was no improvement. Then I was referred to Derek and the team at PhysioX. I found Derek to be thorough, a clear communicator and knowledgeable. I am pleased to say that my knee pain has completely gone and my overall leg musculature greatly improvident.
