What to expect on your first appointment

If you would like to schedule an appointment with our physiotherapists to assess your injury, do make an appointment so that we are able to accurately diagnose the injury and start treatment promptly. This would ensure a speedier recovery with lesser disruption to your training programme. After your condition has been diagnosed, our therapist will share their findings and come up with a mutually agreed upon a treatment plan to help you recover and to ensure that a relapse does not occur.

Why choose Core Concepts Physiotherapy?

We are Singapore’s largest private physiotherapy group, established in 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 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 interlocking causes; after all, pain is often very complex and rarely attributable to a single factor.

Our ability to treat patients better and faster is dependent on our history of effective differential diagnosis. Each of our physiotherapists is invested in keeping current with the latest thoughts and practices.
