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 [...]

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. As a chiropractor, I frequently see patients at this crucial crossroads. Now that your pain is gone, does that mean you can return to normal activities? Is [...]

People generally don't associate nutrition advice with chiropractors. Chiropractors, traditionally, perform chiropractic adjustments to the spine and don't do much more than that. 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. I also have clients with reduced muscle mass who are require higher protein intake. Part of my job as a chiropractor is to familiarise myself with the food products [...]

Frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, is one of the conditions of the body that is very poorly understood. For one, nobody knows what is the cause and there is no suitable to explanation to why does it take so long to heal! Even though frozen shoulder patients tend to have severely limited range [...]

Today, a client feedback that his glutes are much stronger than before. He could feel a difference at the glutes when he uses the elliptical trainer at the gym. When squatting to full range aka ass to grass, he feels more stable. There is no need to jerk to come up from the bottom position. [...]

Just this weekend, a client was complaining that he can't feel his glutes. He has been doing his home exercises but doesn't seem to be getting anywhere. He attributed it to that his glutes are not working. Today, we will explore what is glute amnesia or dead butt syndrome. The Great Gluteal Amnesia Con I'm [...]
