The physiotherapist at NTUC Health's Rehabilitation & Physiotherapy centre in Serangoon has patiently guided me through this arduous journey and encouraged me to continue to work hard and progress. My arms, hands and fingers are very much stronger now. Recently I was able to move my right toe and little toe. It means so much to me!
Ravindran Narayanan, Day Rehab client
My mother suffered a severe stroke. She was fortunate to receive excellent physiotherapy and occupational therapy at home on a weekly basis. The therapists taught my helpers how to help and do the exercises with my mum. Their patience, care and dedication helped my mum to gain some independence. The speech therapists were also wonderful. With a collective effort from all sides we could reduce my mum's visits to the hospital and that was indeed a huge blessing. A big heartfelt thanks to everyone in my Mum's therapy team!
Gloria Pereira daughter of Home Therapy client
After 8 sessions of Home Therapy, my Granny's muscle strength and stamina have improved. The physiotherapist also went beyond her call of duty to recommend a Senior Activity Centre near my Granny's home. She did not just help my Granny regain her physical strength, but also her mental health and confidence. We are more than thankful for her help.
Edna, granddaughter of Home Therapy client
The physiotherapists and occupational therapists all guided and assisted me to do exercises to improve my mobility, build my confidence to progress well. Their care and concern for my well being helped me to believe in myself that I can walk and move around confidently. The surgeon who did the operation for me was very pleased with my progress.
