Physiotherapy helps you recover movement and manage pain after injury, surgery or long-term conditions — from frozen shoulder and back pain to scoliosis, sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation. In Singapore, physiotherapists are regulated by the Allied Health Professions Council (AHPC).

Common reasons people see a physiotherapist in Singapore include neck and back pain (including disc herniation and sciatica), shoulder conditions such as frozen shoulder and rotator cuff injuries, sports injuries, tennis or golfer's elbow, knee and hip pain, ankle sprains and plantar fasciitis. Physiotherapists also play a central role in pre- and post-operative rehabilitation — for example after joint replacement, ligament repair or spine surgery — and in scoliosis and postural management, geriatric rehabilitation and falls prevention.
A first session typically involves a detailed assessment to identify the root cause, followed by a treatment plan that can combine manual therapy, targeted exercise, dry needling and education for self-management.

Private sessions are commonly in the range of S$120–250 depending on clinic, seniority and session length, while public-hospital physiotherapy is subsidised with a referral. Confirm current fees directly with the provider.
