If you understand the hard science and statistics really well, you can definitely can maximise your chance of success. If you don't, it's pretty much a gamble. Your results will come down to how well [...]

Last year, I wrote an article about running with knee pain. It's a more holistic approach to getting back to running given you have enough time to rest and rehab your knees. However, that is not always possible. As a competitive athlete, you may have time constraints. Sometimes you just need to get some running [...]

About a month ago, I wrote about how the protein intake of one of my clients was inhibiting his IPPT training progress. Today, I am going to discuss his training plan and strategy, as well as how he managed to pass his IPPT in such a short training window. IPPT results: Pass Thankfully, my client [...]

When I mentioned that I work mostly with clients seeking chronic pain relief, he asked if I helped them with strengthening and improving range of motion. The short answer is no. Whilst it's true that physical strength and flexibility may be important [...]

Bukit Pasoh brings back so many good memories. The first place I rented for my business was at 13A Bukit Pasoh Road. I used to be a member at Straits Clan, and I learnt so much from the people I've met there. When I heard that a new pilates studio had opened at Bukit Pasoh [...]

Whether you're a medical doctor or a chiropractor like me, we can't ignore mental health anymore. With all the SG60 hype, it feels very appropriate to take the time to consider what is the next step for our people as a society. There is no doubt my generation (i.e., millennials) are enjoying the fruits of [...]

A client today mention the wall sit heel raise is his most hated exercise. A few moments later, he added that it's probably cos the exercise is hitting all the right spots. You know what? I think there's actually some truth to it. We tend to gravitate towards exercise we already like. If our choice [...]

Pain relief can feel like a victory. However, the absence of pain doesn't always signal that your body has fully healed or that you're out of the woods.
