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 [...]

As a chiropractor who helps people move better and get stronger as a living, I'm always curious about what are the exercise options available in Singapore. When I had the opportunity to experience a session at Pilates Flow @2nd, I knew this was worth sharing with y'all . Pilates studio near Sixth Avenue Walking into [...]

You may not want to pay someone to exercise if you have chronic pain. Simply because everyone can exercise. It doesn't sound enticing at all to pay for something that you can already self-learn. Everyone can go to the gym and lift some weights. In Singapore, we are spoilt for choices with ActiveSG gyms and [...]

One of the personal trainers I met yesterday asked a really good question. 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 [...]

When it comes to nutrition professionals, we have nutritionists and dietitians. With these in view, it does suggest that providing (basic) nutrition advice is what is required of a chiropractor. Yet in [...]

When I booked a private one-on-one calisthenics session with Lucas Tey at Project Rally, I was curious about bodyweight training and wanted to explore a different approach to fitness. As a chiropractor who spends his days helping others with chronic pain, I rarely get the chance to be just a regular person wanting to try [...]

I do give basic dietary advice as a chiropractor. In my work, I do have clients who are looking to lose weight for health related reasons.
