Biography

Hi, I am a physiotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience across public and private sectors, and settings. Currently I am completing my PhD candidature studying the DMA Clinical Pilates method for non-specific chronic low back pain management. I co-run a private practice, Clinical Pilates Family Physiotherapy with my clinical successor, Mr Justin Lim. I am also working on a community social project with like-minded stakeholders to provide affordable and effective healthcare in the community.
