Over the weekend, a client shared with me that a 17-year old Indian powerlifter had died after a barbell crushed her neck. The accident happened when the lady was squatting 270kg and slipped on a mat. I do genuinely feel that the incident is very unfortunately and should not have happened. Just two years ago, [...]

As a chiropractor, the SG60 Budget excites me. Of course I am looking forward to the $600 SG vouchers. But what I want focus on today is the $100 ActiveSG credit top-up as well as the SG Culture Pass (also $100 of credits). I am discussing ahead cos I really want y'all to make full [...]

I first wrote this seven years ago when I first started Square One Active Recovery in 2018. Back then, chiropractors offering exercise therapy as the predominant modality was unheard of in Singapore. Resistance towards exercise as a chronic pain treatment was also much higher. Attitudes towards exercise have changed dramatically. And people in Singapore are [...]

If someone mentions that you have a pinched nerve, they are likely talking about a radiculopathy. Radiculopathy can be caused by conditions such as disc herniations and can lead to sciatica pain. Why is it called a pinched nerve? Pinched nerve suggests that something is actively squeezing hard on your nerve, but that is not [...]

I guess it's the start of the school season so there are more young tutors on TikTok promoting their services. Before I go on, I must acknowledge their entrepreneurial spirit and tenacity to start their own business at a young age. It is 100% commendable. But this post will not be about that. The common [...]

Statistically speaking, your low back pain is probably nothing. According to World Health Organisation, about 90% of low back pain is non-specific in nature. In other words, they don't have a clear cause and is not link to anything, including cancer. I just read about Jo Bromilow in the news today. She is a lady [...]

If you are on social media, you must have heard of the Blake Lively-Justin Baldoni lawsuit. As a chiropractor, the part that caught my attention was the fat shaming claims. Because, it sounds lowkey applicable to me. Background of the legal dispute between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni I don't really follow pop culture. And [...]

So I was browsing the internet as usual and I came across this physiotherapy telegram bot called ... PhysioBot. It is created (I think) by a Singaporean physiotherapist Edmond Yeo. What is PhysioBot? I am not sure what is the purpose of PhysioBot. Like, is it supposed to help patients clinically with their treatment or [...]

I was reading the news about a new drug that came on the market. It is called suzetrigine, which apparently is the first drug FDA has approved in 25 years. What caught my attention was not the drug. Because it probably will take a long while before we start seeing it in Singapore. I also [...]

When I saw on social media that another person had died from chiropractic adjustments, I wasn't immediately convinced that it was the chiropractor's fault. But now that I have read the news, it seems like may be. Maybe not. According to BBC News, Joanna Kowalczyk, a 29-year old from United Kingdom had died after seeking [...]

Now that Chinese New Year is behind us, I feel I can give a review of the snacks I've tried. While many of these snacks were undeniably delicious, it’s also interesting to assess how they stack up in terms of (un)healthiness. Honestly, I think there is a bit of irony in wishing people 身体健康 (wish [...]

As a chiropractor in Singapore, I see firsthand how the aging process can affect the body. Many people come to me for help with issues like chronic pain, stiffness, poor function. Many of these are preventable but yet often becomes more pronounced as we grow older. However, ageing doesn’t mean that we have to simply [...]
