What Our Clients Say
I came to Core Fitness with debilitating lower-back pain that I had lived with at varying intensities for many years. After several months of treatment with Hui Lin, my pain improved significantly. She also helped identify and address other issues contributing to my symptoms. I could not recommend Core Fitness more.
— Sheh
I came to Core Fitness Physiotherapy with chronic lower-back pain that had persisted for more than two years following many years of athletic activity. I could not bend over without painful muscle spasms, and even coughing was extremely uncomfortable.
Through a combination of hands-on treatment and carefully guided mobility exercises over approximately three months, my pain is now a fraction of what it used to be. My mobility has almost fully returned, and I am mostly pain-free. I look forward to continuing my visits to the clinic.
— Lavi
I had trouble with my hips and lower back that made gardening—and even walking—uncomfortable. The physiotherapist explained how fascia was causing the tightness, and the treatment was so tailored and professional. After a few sessions, I felt so much more flexible. It’s been life-changing for someone in their late 60s like me.
— Helen

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do I need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Singapore?
No. You can book an assessment directly with one of our AHPC-registered physiotherapists. However, your insurer may require a doctor’s referral or pre-authorisation before reimbursing physiotherapy fees. Please check your policy before your appointment.
What happens during my first physiotherapy appointment?
Your physiotherapist will discuss your symptoms, medical history, daily activities and goals. This is followed by a physical and movement assessment. The findings and suitable treatment options will then be explained to you, and treatment may begin during the same appointment where appropriate.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This varies according to your condition, symptoms, goals and response to treatment. After the initial assessment, your physiotherapist will discuss a recommended plan and review it as you progress.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and enables the physiotherapist to assess the relevant area. Shorts and a T-shirt are generally suitable. Your physiotherapist can advise you if anything more specific is required.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Physiotherapy should remain within a tolerable level. Certain assessments, hands-on techniques or exercises may produce temporary discomfort, but your physiotherapist will explain what to expect, monitor your response and adjust the treatment when necessary.
Can I claim physiotherapy fees through insurance?
Insurance coverage varies between policies. Physiotherapy may be claimable when provided by an AHPC-registered physiotherapist, but some insurers require a doctor’s referral, pre-authorisation or other supporting documents. We provide an itemised receipt, but clients should confirm their individual coverage directly with their insurer before treatment. Private Pilates, Gyrotonic and bodywork sessions are generally not submitted as physiotherapy claims.
What is the difference between physiotherapy and Clinical Pilates?
Physiotherapy involves clinical assessment and treatment for pain, injury, movement limitations and rehabilitation needs. Clinical Pilates is an exercise-based approach that a physiotherapist may incorporate into rehabilitation to develop movement control, strength and function. Private Pilates delivered by a Pilates instructor is a fitness and movement service rather than physiotherapy.
