Focus on Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Our team of experienced Physiotherapists assess and treat a client’s condition through prescribed clinical and exercise treatments involving manual physiotherapy treatment, ultrasound, lumbar or cervical traction, rehabilitation on Pilates equipment
(called Physio Pilates) or home based exercises.

Specialising in

• Back, neck, shoulder and postural care
• Sports and/or occupational injuries
• Neurological and/or orthopaedic conditions
• Post-surgery recovery therapy

Our approach

At Focus, we have established a unique system to help you not only recover from injury and/or post-surgery but to bring you to a state of fitness where you are fitter and stronger than before your injury.

Most healthcare interventions deal with short-term treatment rather than long-term prevention. Quite often after you have been discharged the underlying muscle imbalance and inadequate movement strategies remain, which means you are more susceptible to re-occurring injury.

Our Physiotherapists

Our internationally qualified Physiotherapists are also educated in comprehensive Polestar Rehabilitation and/or Clinical Pilates training programmes. Our experienced Physiotherapists assess and treat clients’ conditions through prescribed clinical and exercise treatments.

Polestar Pilates Mentor
Polestar Pilates Rehabilitation Certified
National Pilates (NPCP) Certified
Sports Trauma Management

Christine started her career practicing as an orthopaedic physical therapist in California, and has since chalked up experience treating musculoskeletal injuries in Singapore and England.

She incorporates manual therapy and Pilates exercises in her treatment sessions to speed up recovery, as she thinks it is key to the rehabilitation process that one experiences pain free movement as soon as possible to prevent secondary compensations.

Over the years, she has worked closely with various orthopaedic doctors, sports doctors, and spine specialists from different countries to provide the best multi-disciplinary medical team management, and helped athletes from university and national teams to return to competition. Christine is certified in Sports Trauma Management as well, and is keen to introduce Pilates to the sports community to improve their game.

Her other clinical experience includes Pediatrics, Neurology, Gerontology, and Aquatic therapy. She strongly believes in the importance of patient education and patient empowerment to affect positive changes in all of her clients.

Since migrating to Singapore in 2012, Emma has gained extensive experience in local hospitals and clinics across the fields of critical care, cardiopulmonary, orthopaedics and musculoskeletal Physiotherapy.

She was first introduced to Pilates during University after suffering a back injury and was amazed at the healing power that allowed her to regain the strength and mobility required to continue her studies. This personal experience encouraged her to further study Pilates and understand how it’s benefits can be translated into Physiotherapy treatments.

BSc Physiotherapy (Hons), Trinity College Dublin
Polestar Comprehensive Studio Trained

Language: English & Mandarin

With 6 years of experience in a local hospital, Claudia has expertise in various fields from cardiopulmonary care to community health rehabilitation. She chose to specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy as it constantly challenges her to grasp the most effective way in treating patients, bringing them through all phases of healing, from initial diagnosis to restorative stages of recovery.

When Claudia first tried Pilates, it resonated with her job as a Physiotherapist as she saw the importance of optimising patients through their movement patterns. Combining manual therapy and Pilates exercises, she hopes to enhance patient management for musculoskeletal pain and bring them closer to achieving their goals.

In her free time, she enjoys running and peddling to the beat in rhythmic spin classes.
