Biography
Hi, I am a physiotherapist with more than 15 years of clinical experience across public and private sectors, and settings. Currently I am pursuing my PhD (part-time) studying the DMA Clinical Pilates exercise approach for non-specific chronic low back pain. I co-run a private practice, Clinical Pilates Family Physiotherapy with my disciple (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.
