Dress comfortably and get ready to move! While we recommend wearing shorts, t-shirts, or spaghetti straps, and sports shoes for easy assessment and exercise, feel free to wear whatever makes you comfortable. For those visiting us during office breaks or after work, we provide comfort shorts and towels. So, whether you’re coming straight from the office or just lounging at home, we’ve got you covered.

And remember, when it comes to physio, the minimal suit is the best suit! Just kidding, but seriously, comfy clothes are the way to go. Let’s get started on your journey to feeling great!

Rest assured, every penny you spend on physiotherapy with us is an investment in your health and well-being. You’ll never feel like your money is wasted—it’s worth every bit

Get ready for an engaging and informative session! First, we’ll ask you a bunch of questions—not too personal, don’t worry! We just want to get to know you, your hobbies, work, and lifestyle. Our physio will then walk you, turn you, bend you, and press you (and maybe even beat you, just kidding haha) to do a thorough orthopedic assessment. Expect some laughs as we explain your issue with some quirky diagrams.

Be prepared to take some notes, as we might suggest a few discipline and lifestyle tweaks. And the best part? You’ll likely start your treatment on the same day! So, come ready to chat, move, and laugh your way to better health.

Absolutely, physiotherapy is for everyone, including you!

At River Physio, we treat everything from the top of the head to the tip of the toe. Think of us as your health champions, ready to assist with all your needs. Physiotherapy is a key component of mainstream holistic medical support, offering preventative, rehabilitative, and educational benefits to maintain and improve your health.

Physiotherapy clinics tackle a wide variety of issues, from neurological disorders like stroke and Parkinson’s to orthopedic conditions such as arthritis, sports injuries, and biomechanical disorders. The beauty of physiotherapy is its versatility—we can treat everyone from newborn babies to seniors, pregnant women to athletes, office workers to homemakers, and more. Think of us as your go-to health champions for any ailment! For a detailed list of conditions we treat, visit our What We Treat page.

Absolutely not! In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Our goal is to reduce your pain as quickly as possible. During the treatment process, such as mobilization and soft tissue releases, you might feel some discomfort due to the pressure required for effective mobilization. You may also experience a bit of muscle and joint soreness for 2 to 3 days, but in a good way—think of it as your body saying, “Thank you for the workout!”

No need to stress—we’ve got you covered! At River Physio, we aim to provide you with highly qualified physiotherapists who are registered with the Allied Health Professions Council (MOH) of Singapore. We hand-pick our physios, ensuring they have multidisciplinary experience from around the world and at least a decade of experience. It’s like finding the perfect match for your health needs. That’s our promise to you!

The recovery time can vary depending on the individual’s condition and response to the physiotherapy treatment. Generally, the treatment duration and healing process depend on factors such as the severity of the issue and the patient’s overall health. Acute injuries usually recover faster, while chronic injuries and chronic illnesses may take more time. Some may start to feel better after a few sessions, while others might need more time. Individual progress is monitored closely to adjust the treatment plan as needed. Consistency in attending physiotherapy sessions and following the recommended exercises at home plays a crucial role in how quickly you will feel better.

No, you do not need a doctor referral to visit a physiotherapist. However, we believe in a holistic approach to health. For certain conditions, it might be beneficial to combine medical care with physiotherapy to achieve the best results. If we determine that your condition could improve better with surgery or another medical intervention, we will recommend you visit a specialist.

We accept all major credit and debit cards, as well as PayNow and PayLah. While we generally do not accept cash payments, we make an exception for elderly patients who prefer not to use modern payment systems.
