Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a rehabilitation treatment based on the principles of kinesiological intervention, exercise prescription, mobilization and modalities of physical and electrical treatment. Physiotherapy treatment can relieve physical pain or overcome the limitations of body movement and function due to injuries or diseases involving musculoskeletal, neurological, cardiovascular, respiratory or endocrinological systems.

Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation is a set of treatments to restore the strength and ability of the musculoskeletal system such as muscles and joints. This treatment is specially designed for clients who suffer from physical pain or have limitations of movement in the upper and lower limbs or body due to accidents; trauma or diseases such as bone fractures; tendon, ligaments or nerves injuries and chronic pain such as back pain.

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) treatment and rehabilitation focus on giving physical and psychological rehabilitation for clients with paralysis (paralysis of both legs) or tetraplegia (paralysis of four limbs). The purpose of this rehabilitation is to maximize their nerve recovery and independence throughout their rehabilitation period.
The purpose of SCI rehabilitation is to:
- Increase muscle mass
- Increase muscle activity
- Improve blood circulation
- Increase sensation
- Prevent loss of bone mineral density
- Increase the functionality and independence in daily life and at work
- Reduce complications such as pressure sore, joint stiffness, deformity or bacterial infections of urinary tract in clients with spinal cord injury.

Hydrotherapy is a field of physiotherapy that uses water as a treatment medium. The water temperature is between 33-36 degrees Celsius which are warmer than a typical swimming pool. Warm water expands the superficial blood vessels, activates the sweat glands to facilitate the healing process, reducing pain and removing waste from body tissues. By using the buoyancy property of water, we are able to reduce the pressure on the lower limbs and increase muscle relaxation. It can also increase clients’ range of motion as they will find it easier to exercise in water. In addition, water’s natural resistance can be used to improve coordination and balance, strengthen muscles, as well as fitness.
Our open-concept gym facility is furnished with a variety of exercise equipment including a multi-gym that is specially designed for wheelchair-bound patients. We focus on comprehensive and individualised workout sessions by using body mechanics and kinesiology to improve stamina, agility, fitness and flexibility of the body
Loss of limbs causes permanent disability that impacts a client’s image, self -care and mobility.
