Home of Authentic Shaolin Traumatology (正宗少林伤科之家) is a bone-setting and chiropractic clinic on Toa Payoh Lorong 6, founded in 2015 by Sally Tang and Dr Anthony Toh after five years of charity work, with the stated aim of healing more people and relieving pain.
The clinic specialises in bone-related issues — leg, hand, neck, spine and back injuries, arm dislocation, sports injuries, slip disc and back pain, sciatica, neck strain, knee degeneration, golfer's and tennis elbow, and traditional traumatic injury care (跌打损伤) — alongside bone-injury tuina (骨伤推拿) and wellness tuina (保健推拿).
Principal practitioner Dr Anthony Toh (杜亿龙, DNM) learned Shaolin tuina from childhood under his father, Master Du Qiaocheng, and later studied Southern Shaolin traumatology under Master Wu Tianlu, the Wan family's natural-school traumatology under Physician Wang Muping, and AHT chiropractic under Professor Xie Qingliang at the Asia-Pacific Chiropractic Society in Shenzhen. His qualifications include a Doctor of Natural Medicine degree (DNM, 2015), an advanced clinical bone-injury certificate from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, an ITEC holistic therapy certificate from the UK, a Taiwan CMRC chiropractor certificate, internationally certified kinesio taping practitioner (CKTP) status, and China's Nuoyadi stretching therapy certification.
Dr Toh combines modern medical diagnosis with Chinese and Western chiropractic, pulse-gun adjustments, Nuoyadi stretching therapy and traditional Chinese tuina manipulation. Visits are strictly by appointment only; the clinic is closed on Wednesdays, Sundays and public holidays.
On the ground floor of Block 51 Toa Payoh Lorong 6 sits a clinic whose name tells you precisely what it does: Home of Authentic Shaolin Traumatology (正宗少林伤科之家). Established in 2015 by Sally Tang and Dr Anthony Toh after five years of charity work, the practice was founded on a simple wish — to heal more people and to help relieve pain. What grew from that wish is a dedicated trauma clinic where traditional Shaolin bone-setting meets modern chiropractic science.
The clinic's principal practitioner, Dr Anthony Toh (杜亿龙), carries a genuine family lineage. He learned Shaolin tuina from childhood under his father, Master Du Qiaocheng, then continued his studies under Master Wu Tianlu in the Southern Shaolin traumatology tradition. His training later widened to include the Wan family's natural-school traumatology under Physician Wang Muping, and AHT chiropractic under Professor Xie Qingliang at the Asia-Pacific Chiropractic Society in Shenzhen. In 2015 — the same year the clinic opened — he earned his Doctor of Natural Medicine (DNM) degree.
Alongside this lineage, Dr Toh has assembled an unusually broad set of credentials: an advanced clinical bone-injury certificate from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, an ITEC holistic therapy certificate from the UK, a chiropractor certificate from Taiwan's CMRC, internationally certified kinesio taping practitioner (CKTP) status, China's Nuoyadi stretching therapy certification, pulse-gun chiropractic training at Eurasia University's chiropractic medical school, and ACTA and DACE adult-education credentials from Singapore.
The clinic's services span Eastern and Western chiropractic, bone-injury tuina (骨伤推拿), sports injury care, slip disc and back pain, sciatic nerve pain, neck strain, knee degeneration, golfer's and tennis elbow, traumatic injuries (跌打损伤) and wellness tuina (保健推拿). Dr Toh is noted for combining modern medical diagnosis with Chinese and Western chiropractic, pulse-gun instrument adjustments and Nuoyadi stretching therapy, layered over traditional Chinese tuina manipulation — so a single session may move from assessment to hands-on treatment, instrument-assisted spinal work, therapeutic stretching and supportive kinesio taping.
The breadth of the practice reflects its name. Traumatology — the treatment of injuries to bones, joints and soft tissue — sits at the centre, and the clinic lists leg, hand, neck, spine and back injuries and arm dislocation among its specialities. Around that core sit the modern disciplines Dr Toh has studied over the years, giving the clinic a toolkit wide enough to address everything from an acute sporting knock to the slow wear of degenerative knee problems.
Visits are strictly by appointment only; call +65 9742 1777 to fix a time, or email drtoh@homeofshaolin.com. Hours are split around a midday break: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday run 11am to 1pm and 2pm to 6pm, Friday ends at 5pm, and Saturday begins earlier at 9am. The clinic rests on Wednesday, Sunday and public holidays. If you are driving, take the clinic's own advice and enter by Lorong 5.
The clinic's website carries a long wall of satisfied clients and written testimonials — a quiet nod to the founding purpose of relieving pain. Dr Toh also shares the thinking behind the work in a downloadable guide on what the clinic calls the secret of reverse aging, covering the difference between primary and secondary ageing and their causes.
Whether you are a Toa Payoh neighbour or travelling across the island for this particular blend of Shaolin traumatology and chiropractic care, the routine is the same: make an appointment, find Block 51, and let a practice built on family lineage and years of charity work get to work on what hurts.
