These services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language therapy in order to provide the most comprehensive healthcare experience possible.

Occupational Therapy

When it comes to helping an individual restore their ability to handle everyday tasks that have since become a challenge due to physical disability from neurological, orthopaedic, medical, surgical or other various conditions, Occupational Therapy may be prescribed.

This type of therapy includes:

Hand/upper limb therapy for people who have hand fractures; nerve, ligament, or tendon injuries; tendinitis; or congenital deformities

Splints and orthosis to make customised splints for upper and lower limbs, neck and spine

Neuro-rehabilitation programme to maximise your recovery potential by working closely with you, family members and caregivers to achieve the highest level of independence

Home evaluation/modifications to help you overcome physical barriers within and outside the home, including use of equipment or appliances to enhance your safety and mobility

Aids/appliances prescription to provide the most suitable aids or appliances such as wheelchairs, commode chairs or raised toilet seats for your maximum independence at home

Oedema/lymphoedema management to provide manual lymph drainage for swelling of the limbs, which can hinder function and cause contracture

Physiotherapy

For patients who may experience health problems due to injury from physical trauma or diseases, Physiotherapy aims to help them regain and reclaim both mobility and strength in the affected areas.

Physiotherapy includes:

Back/neck care to shorten the recovery time and decrease the chance of back pain becoming chronic

Neuro-rehabilitation which includes a comprehensive exercise regimen for the limbs and trunk to help you maximise and regain normal muscle movement and function
Vestibular (balance) rehabilitation, an exercise-based programme to minimise dizziness, improve balance and prevent falls by restoring normal function
Craniosacral therapy, a gentle therapy to help manage acute and chronic pain and joint misalignment
Visceral manipulation to encourage normal mobility, tone and motion of the organs and their connective tissues
Dry needling to relieve muscle tightness (spasm) by changing its neuromuscular control
Prenatal programme, an educational/exercise programme to teach skills for pregnancy, labour and childbirth
