Amputee Rehabilitation
Individuals with lower limb amputations often experience challenges with mobility, balance, and daily functioning. Physiotherapy plays a key role in supporting their recovery and enabling the use of a prosthesis (artificial limb) for walking and daily activities.
Through a structured rehabilitation process, physiotherapists help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence, with the ultimate goal of returning to work, leisure, and community life. When needed, caregiver training is provided to support safe mobility and prosthesis management.
Rehabilitation is delivered in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team that includes prosthetists, orthotists, podiatrists, occupational therapists, medical social workers, psychologists, and rehabilitation physicians.
Our Rehabilitation Program
The Amputee Rehabilitation Program is structured into three progressive phases:
PHASE 1: PRE-PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION
This phase is to get the patient ready for the fitting of the prosthetic leg.
PHASE 2: PROSTHETIC REHABILITATION
The patient is re-orientated with everyday activities such as walking, climbing stairs, and overcoming obstacles.
PHASE 3: ADVANCED BALANCE AND COMMUNITY INTEGRATION
When the patient is ready to progress, he / she will be trained in activities such as jogging or running etc.

Fall Prevention and Management
With an ageing population in Singapore, falls have become a significant public health concern. As individuals age, they may experience a natural decline in strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility. These changes increase the risk of falling and may compromise an individual’s ability to live independently.
Statistics show that:
- 1 in 3 adults aged 65 years and above
- 1 in 2 adults aged 80 years and above
living in the community will experience at least one fall each year.
Falls can lead to serious injuries such as fractures or head trauma. Many older adults also face psychological challenges after a fall, including fear of falling again, loss of confidence, and depression. These effects can contribute to a decline in physical activity, social isolation, and reduced quality of life.
Falls not only impact individuals but also place emotional and physical burdens on families and caregivers, along with increased healthcare and societal costs.
Our Rehabilitation Program
The Falls Prevention Program focuses on reducing the risk of falls through early assessment and targeted interventions.
Key components of the program include:
- Individualised assessment to identify personal risk factors such as poor balance, reduced strength, or limited flexibility
- Personalised exercise programs to improve muscle strength, joint mobility, and functional movement
- Gait and balance training to enhance stability and walking confidence
- Fall prevention education to build awareness and equip participants with practical strategies
Who Can Benefit
This program is suitable for:
- Older adults with balance problems, muscle weakness, or mobility limitations
Individuals at risk of falls due to age-related decline or chronic conditions
Lymphoedema Clinic
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition caused by a disruption in the lymphatic system. This results in the accumulation of lymph fluid in body tissues, leading to persistent swelling. It can affect various parts of the body, including the limbs, head, neck, and trunk. If left untreated, lymphoedema may cause skin changes, tissue hardening, and recurrent infections such as cellulitis.
Lymphoedema can be classified broadly into two types:
- Primary Lymphoedema: Caused by an impaired lymphatic system or an insufficient number of lymph vessels.
- Secondary Lymphoedema: Caused by factors such as surgery, radiotherapy, trauma, cancer, inflammation, or filariasis (a parasitic infection transmitted by mosquitoes). Surgeries involving the removal of lymph nodes in the breast, head, neck, and groin increase the risk of developing secondary lymphoedema.
Signs and Symptoms of Affected Areas:
- Tightness with rings, watches, or bracelets
- Feeling of tightness and fullness
- Persistent swelling
- Difficulty fitting clothing in the affected area
Although lymphoedema cannot be cured, early intervention can prevent complications and improve quality of life.
Our Rehabilitation Program
The Lymphoedema Management Program is delivered by certified lymphoedema therapists trained in specialized techniques. Treatment is guided by a thorough assessment and tailored to each individual’s condition.
The core of our treatment approach is Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT), which includes:
- Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD): A gentle massage technique to encourage lymph fluid movement
- Compression Therapy: Using bandages and garments to reduce swelling and maintain results
- Exercise: Therapeutic exercises to support lymphatic flow and improve mobility
- Skin Care: Prevention of skin infections and maintenance of skin integrity
