Why choose us
We are Singapore’s largest private physiotherapy group, established since 2003. We’ve treated many athletes including local competitive triathletes. We adopt a hands on approach and use manual therapy for most of our sessions which we believe is the most effective approach when it comes to relaxing tense muscles and restricted joints.
At Core Concepts, our physiotherapists are firm believers in curing your problems and not just treating the symptoms. We understand that you don’t want to spend all day on the rehabilitation bed, so we get to the root of the cause right from the first visit. We aim to not only get you better, but also to equip you with the right tools to stay better as well.
Our first step in every case is to determine the cause and peel back the layers of inter-locking causes; after all, pain is often very complex and rarely attributable to a single factor.
Our ability to treat patients better, faster is dependent on our history of effective differential diagnosis. Each of our physiotherapists are invested in keeping current with the latest thoughts and practices.
