Top Physiotherapy Clinics in Singapore

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a widely used treatment to effectively improve and restore the quality of movements and functions of individuals with injury, illness or disability. Physiotherapy also aids in the prevention of injuries and maintenance of health.

Is there a difference between Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy?

The distinct difference lies in that Physiotherapy focuses and works on individuals’ mobility, using appropriate exercises and techniques. On the other hand, Occupational Therapy focuses on helping individuals perform daily age-appropriate tasks and activities through assisted devices, environment modifications, etc.

What Is the Cost of Physiotherapy Treatment in Singapore?

What Factors Should I Consider When Looking for a Physiotherapy Clinic?

Before deciding on the Physiotherapist, you may wish to consider the following factors to help you make a more informed decision:

• Qualifications and Registration. Check the physiotherapist’s qualifications and accreditations. Physiotherapists practising in Singapore are required to be registered with the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC) and they are regulated and governed under the Allied Health Professions Act.

• Relevant Expertise. Look for a physiotherapist who has the expertise and experience to treat the issues you are experiencing. For example, if you have sacroiliac joint pain, it would be best to consult a physiotherapist who specialises in musculoskeletal conditions.

• Types of Treatment Used. Do find out the types of treatment methods used by the clinic to see if there are any methods that you are uncomfortable with or have been recommended by other professionals not to undertake.

• Location of the Clinic. This can be an important consideration as it will affect the speed, time taken and accessibility of your treatment. For example, individuals whose mobility are hindered may experience difficulty in travelling to the clinic if it is inaccessible or far away.

• Privacy of Treatment. The availability of private rooms allows for comfortable treatment and discussion of your condition with your physiotherapist.

• Waiting Period. Check if the clinic has a waitlist. A long waiting list would mean that you would have to wait for a long time before you get to meet your physiotherapist or experience a long interval before your next visit. Such delays may be detrimental in cases where timely treatment is required.

• Up-to-date and Appropriate Equipment. Are the equipment used dated and not in good working condition? The quality of the therapy equipment plays an important part in the quality and effectiveness of your treatment.

What Can I Expect in a Physiotherapy Session?

During our Physiotherapy sessions, Dynamics Physiotherapy applies appropriate therapy techniques, educates individuals, parents and/or caregivers on ways to maintain overall physical health and functionality, offers professional recommendations as well as conducts ongoing evaluations to measure progress against the defined goals. Each of our sessions is about an hour long.

For Adults

Physiotherapy for adults can involve several treatment methods, depending on the individual’s needs. Our Physiotherapist will implement a combination of treatment techniques and physical modalities. These techniques can include manual therapy, Electrotherapy, Kinesiology Taping and Strapping and core stability training, among others. Our Physiotherapists also provide mobility aid training, such as the use of crutches, and weight management advice.

For Children

As a child’s physique and needs are different from an adult’s, physiotherapy for children requires a specialised set of skills and experience to effectively treat issues faced by children. Our Physiotherapists are trained and experienced in paediatrics and our treatment caters to children and adolescents from birth to 18 years old.

Each child’s therapy session is tailored to their specific needs and unique learning ability. During the sessions, our Physiotherapist will build rapport with the child and implement age-appropriate exercises to target problems areas and improve abilities and skills, such as flexibility, strength, balance, endurance, gross and fine motor skills and motor planning. Our Physiotherapist will use multiple techniques, which include movement training, flexibility exercises and adaptive play, to improve the child’s strength, balance and coordination and flexibility, among other essential skills.

Bonus Tip! How Do I Prepare for My Physiotherapy Sessions?

Here are some things to take note of to help you be better prepared and ensure a more productive Physiotherapy session:

• Prepare questions to ask or discuss with your physiotherapist, especially on your first visit. Your physiotherapist will be more than happy to answer your questions and clear any doubts you might have.
• Bring along any doctor’s referrals or pertinent information about your medications for your first visit.
• Be punctual. Being late can put you in a hurried mode and also reduce your treatment duration.
• Be appropriately attired — opt for loose-fitting and comfortable clothes. For example, wear shorts if you are being treated for a leg condition.
• Have sufficient rest the night before the session.
• Be sure to complete the “homework”, if any, given by your physiotherapist.
