The Pain Relief Practice
Pain is a natural and protective biological function, red-flagging imbalances or dysfunctions in our body. Pain signals are transmitted from the injured area to the brain via electrical impulses, helping the brain to respond appropriately. While this is a beneficial response, it can sometimes be too much and hinder a patient’s ability to recover from an injury.
HelloPhysio’s pain relief practice helps patients heal faster from traumatic injuries and manage chronic pain conditions to improve their quality of life.
Through an evidence-based understanding of injury presentation, our physiotherapy and rehab teams are committed to providing insightful and innovative treatments for clients. We offer the latest modalities in rehabilitation, strength and condition programs, sports physiotherapy, and musculoskeletal health at our pain and physiotherapy center in Singapore.
Our team’s collective experience in treating injuries and restoring mobility has earned HelloPhysio the reputation of being a leading pain relief clinic in Singapore. HelloPhysio’s team:

Our industry-leading pain relief therapies in Singapore complement our team’s in-depth clinical knowledge about musculoskeletal dysfunctions and soft tissue injuries.
Using manual therapy with proper adjunctive state-of-the-art equipment to enhance tissue healing, our physiotherapists help clients return to pain-free movement faster. Each physiotherapy rehab plan is never the same for each client as we believe in a personalized physio treatment to address each individual’s musculoskeletal injury and life stressors.
We always believe in going one step more at our rehab center in Singapore by providing continuous care that extends beyond just the physical session to adding Telehealth as part of physio treatment plans. From traditional to sports physiotherapy in Singapore, our clinic incorporates the lastest evidenced-based modalities into patient care.
EMTT® is an advanced technology developed in Switzerland for the treatment of bone, tendon, muscle, nerve and ligament injuries or disorders throughout the body. This is a state-of-the-art therapy is a non-invasive, safe alternative to steroid injections and other interventions.
EMTT can be used to as a pain relief practice to reduce inflammation in difficult to treat conditions such as bone injuries, stress fractures and arthritic joints. We also use of the technology in harder-to-treatment of conditions such as tendinopathies at our Novena physiotherapy clinic in Singapore.
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) uses shockwaves outside of the body to harness intense short energy waves to reduce pain and heal chronic orthopedic conditions at our rehab center in Singapore. It is a non-invasive but powerful adjunctive physiotherapy treatment that delivers acoustic waves to injured soft tissue to for pain relief and to promote healing.
Using both Focal and Radial ESWT at our physiotherapy clinic, Shockwave Therapy a non-invasive treatment to assist with quick healing of injured tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, bone, etc) at a cellular level. Shockwave works by activating a tissue response by making tissues restart the healing faster while creating minimal scarring.
Being one of the very few physio clinics in Singapore to fully utilized INDIBA for active rehab, we are proud to say our clients who have received the radiofrequency treatment have reported a decrease in pain immediately post treatment.
INDIBA uses one-of-a-kind long wave radiofrequency of 448 kHz frequency to treat acute, subacute and chronic states of injury. INDIBA creates a therapeutic physio treatment with manual or sports physiotherapy to facilitate tissue recovery while decreasing pain.
Clinical Pilates is instructed by our highly-experienced trainers to promote strong, stable movement to build muscle strength, improve range of motion, activate postural muscles and the body-brain connection for integrated movement patterns.
As part of our Singapore rehab center, Clinical Pilates targets spine and pelvis alignment in conjunction with breathing and inner core muscles to balance and strengthen the body. Each session may use various rehab techniques, including Pilates reformers, barrel, Stahl bars and other physiotherapy equipment.
Sports Massage uses intense, detailed manipulation of the soft tissue – muscles, tendons, joint capsules, and fascia – targeted at trouble spots. Specializing in injury management and chronic pain relief massage, and as part of our Singapore sports physio treatments, sports massage therapy helps enhance athletic performance by preventing training injuries and decreasing recovery time.
The massage sessions are highly focused with applied techniques, including myofascial release, deep compression, muscle stripping, and friction, trigger point therapy, stretching, and corrective exercises.
Red Light Therapy at HelloPhysio energizes cells to drive a host of physiological processes in the body by interacting at the cellular level to restore normal cell function.
Also known as Photobiomodulation, the near infrared therapy improves blood circulation, increases the rate of recovery after injuries, decreases pain and inflammation, boosts energy levels, improves muscle performance, aids in sleep, and a host of other benefits.
As a treatment option at our Novena physiotherapy clinic, Dry Needling is a popular and effective means to treat pain using a sterile needle inserted to trigger points of the muscle and/or fascia to activate our body’s response for a natural anti-inflammatory recovery process, especially for sports physiotherapy clients. Trigger points are targeted by dry needling as other techniques may not be able to go so deep.
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle and non-invasive technique that activates the body’s circulation to help the immune system by working with the interstitial and lymphatic system.
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive process balancing the powerful flow of the cerebrospinal fluids and the nervous system. It is used to activate the body to self heal and restore body balance as part of our services at our physio rehab center in Singapore.
When the COVID pandemic hit globally, rehabilitation and pain relief practice was mandated to go online as physical therapy care at our physio clinics was restricted. The use of digital communication to provide quality treatments ensured continuity and accessibility of care. From that, we realized the effectiveness and the efficiency of telehealth for physiotherapy and rehab.
Research supports telehealth’s benefits to maintain positive client outcomes, especially when it comes to physiotherapy treatment and rehab in Singapore. We all know that life post pandemic has changed and we will continue to provide Telehealth to clients who meet the needs of online consultation.
Our Approach to Physiotherapy for Pain Relief
Pain and physiotherapy go hand in hand. It is often an unpleasant experience associated with an acute traumatic incidence or repetitive musculoskeletal dysfunction that brings patients into our pain clinic. Pain was once viewed as an inevitable consequence of an injury or disorder, but it doesn’t have to be!
At HelloPhysio, our patient-centered approach to pain management physiotherapy combines traditional physiotherapy treatment, with trailblazing technologies and decades of experience. Our team works to activate the body’s natural mechanisms to reduce the intensity and duration of both acute and chronic pain.
Patient education and empowerment is at the core of our philosophy of pain relief therapy to improve the body’s optimal function. We feel it is important to take a holistic approach to pain management by incorporating technology, Clinical Pilates and alternative therapies, as required.
Our knowledgeable physiotherapists assess and diagnose the cause of the pain. We help to educate our patients on self-management strategies and exercise prescriptions as well as lifestyle modifications to prevent future injuries. We offer a wide range of effective physiotherapy treatments, from manual therapy to the latest evidence-based technologies like INDIBA® Activ, Shockwave Therapy, or LightStim® Red Light.
Understanding the Common Mechanisms of Why You Experience Pain
Seeing a physiotherapist can be integral to your rehabilitation from an injury or managing chronic pain relief adequately.
Scar tissue formation is the body’s natural response to trauma, injury, or surgery. When the body experiences tissue damage, the body will produce collagen fibers that are woven together to form a scar. This scar tissue can be painful if the wound is deep or if the surrounding nerves are damaged.
As scar tissue builds up, it can become thick and tight, leading to a decrease in range of motion and an increase in pain. Scar tissue can also cause inflammation, which can lead to more pain. Scar tissue formation can also create a cycle of pain as the scar tissue itself can cause more injuries and further pain.
Weakened or soft bone structures can lead to pain due to the increased risk of fractures. When bones become weak or brittle, they are more susceptible to injury and fractures, which can be extremely painful.
Weak bones can also result in muscle and joint pain as the muscles and joints are forced to support the weakened bones. Bone pain can also be caused by inflammation in the joints or soft tissues due to weakened bones. In addition, weakened bones can cause pain in the surrounding nerves, which can increase over time.
Restricted range of motion can cause pain because the muscles and other soft tissues become tight and inflamed. When the range of motion is limited, the body will compensate by tightening the surrounding muscles and ligaments, leading to a decrease in flexibility and an increase in pain.
The restricted range of motion can also cause strain on the joints, leading to inflammation and pain.
As the inflammation increases, so does the pain. In addition, the lack of flexibility can make it difficult to move and perform everyday activities, further contributing to pain.
Muscle inflammation occurs when muscles are torn, and the body releases chemicals and nutrient-rich immune cells to the area to help with the healing.
Inflammation is a normal and necessary part of the healing process, but prolonged muscle inflammation can be damaging. This is especially when a joint or muscle is moved or pressure is applied. Pain can also be caused by imbalances and tight muscles.
Ultimately, it’s a rehab practice rule of thumb that you make an appointment with a physiotherapist if your condition lasts beyond two weeks. As always, early intervention is always the best solution to relieve your discomfort and to ensure your body recovers fast and pain-free.
HelloPhysio paves the way with both traditional physical therapy and the latest technologies to reduce pain, re-establish movement patterns, and activate muscles so that you can return to your daily life.
Physiotherapy treatment plans are different for each client customized to fit an individual’s needs, injury and lifestyle. Treatments from HelloPhysio may be eligible for claims through your health insurance provider.
