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 that studied the DMA Clinical Pilates method for non-specific chronic low back pain management. I co-run a private practice, Clinical Pilates Family Physiotherapy with Mr Justin Lim. I am also working on a community social project with like-minded stakeholders, led by our SIT PT pioneer graduate, Mr John Wong, which aims to provide affordable and effective healthcare in the community in partnership with other healthcare sectors in the Boon Lay region.
