Physiotherapy helps to achieve pain-free movement, which is important to enhance your quality of life, your ability to earn a living, and your independence. Physiotherapists are movement experts who can identify, diagnose, and treat movement problems.

Physiotherapy seek to minimize your pain and discomfort, including chronic and acute pain. Physiotherapists work within your pain threshold to help you heal, and restore movement and function.

In Singapore, it is not mandatory to get a referral from a doctor to see a physiotherapist. However, for patients with underlying health conditions, it is recommended to have a doctor’s referral. This is so that the physiotherapist can determine the treatment intensity based on doctors diagnosis.

As like most healthcare professionals, physiotherapists tend to specialise in one particular area. These include, chronic pain, post-op recovery, sports injuries, spine injuries, physiotherapy for the elderly, and rehabilitation. So to find the right physiotherapist, it is vital to identify where your pain is and what is the most likely cause of it e.g. sports injury.

Patients are advised to bring the doctor’s referral letter (if any) and other relevant investigation reports (MRI, X-ray, etc.)

Patients are advised to wear comfortable and loose clothing which allows free movements (sports attire). However, shorts are provided if necessary.

Patient will be assessed by a physiotherapist to identify the cause and contributing factor of the current condition and the suitable treatment options will be recommended.
