Physio Edge is a home-visit physiotherapy practice in Singapore, run by Ms. Shirley Le Minyang, who visits clients anywhere on the island rather than operating from a fixed clinic. The practice specialises in three areas: pain-free relief for mastitis and blocked milk ducts, breast cancer rehabilitation, and management of lymphoedema and lipoedema.
For mastitis and clogged ducts, Physio Edge has moved from its earlier pain-free ultrasound treatment to cutting-edge Deep Oscillation Treatment combined with manual lymphatic drainage, aiming for pain-free relief that's even more effective. For clients recovering from breast cancer surgery, Shirley guides them through scar massage, shoulder exercises and other rehabilitation work to help regain normal shoulder movement and reduce the risk of lymphoedema. For lymphoedema and lipoedema, she is trained in the Casley-Smith method for conservative management, and is skilled in manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging, compression garment prescription, Kinesio taping and targeted exercises.
Shirley holds a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Hong Kong PolyU and a Master in Clinical Physiotherapy from Curtin University, Australia, and has practised physiotherapy for over 14 years, starting her career in Hong Kong before moving to Singapore in 2016, where she worked at Tan Tock Seng Hospital before entering private practice. Physio Edge is also a proud supplier of Bio Compression Pumps, including the SC-2008-DL Sequential Circulator for lymphoedema and other swelling-related conditions.
Physio Edge is a Singapore physiotherapy practice built around a simple idea: instead of clients travelling to a clinic, therapist Ms. Shirley Le Minyang travels to them, visiting homes anywhere in Singapore. The practice focuses on three specific areas — mastitis and blocked milk ducts, breast cancer rehabilitation, and lymphoedema and lipoedema — rather than offering general physiotherapy across every condition.
Physio Edge was once known for pain-free ultrasound treatment for mastitis and clogged ducts. The practice has since moved to cutting-edge Deep Oscillation Treatment combined with manual lymphatic drainage, aiming to keep the pain-free approach while making it even more effective for breastfeeding mothers dealing with these common but distressing conditions.
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role after breast cancer surgery, both in regaining normal shoulder movement and in helping to prevent lymphoedema down the line. Shirley guides clients through scar massage, shoulder exercises and other rehabilitation work, aiming to help each person regain the normalcy that matters most to them, rather than following a one-size-fits-all recovery plan.
For lymphoedema and lipoedema, Shirley is trained in the Casley-Smith method, a recognised approach to conservative management of these conditions. Her toolkit includes manual lymphatic drainage, bandaging, compression garment prescription, Kinesio taping, and targeted exercises — a comprehensive, hands-on approach rather than relying on any single technique.
Alongside hands-on treatment, Physio Edge is a proud supplier of Bio Compression Pumps, including the SC-2008-DL Sequential Circulator, an evidence-based pneumatic compression device for lymphoedema and other swelling-related conditions. The device features a special baffle system in the garment design to eliminate gaps between chambers, a pumping program specifically designed to reduce swelling, an 8-chamber design offering extra coverage of the trunk, and a wide variety of garments with customization options. It's HSA and FDA registered for safety and quality assurance, giving clients a way to continue compression therapy between physiotherapy sessions.
Shirley Le Minyang holds a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from Hong Kong PolyU and a Master in Clinical Physiotherapy from Curtin University in Australia. She has practised physiotherapy for over 14 years, starting her career in Hong Kong before relocating to Singapore in 2016, where she worked at Tan Tock Seng Hospital before moving into private practice. Over the years, she developed a strong interest in physiotherapy for breastfeeding conditions, breast cancer rehabilitation, lymphoedema and lipoedema — the same areas that now define Physio Edge — and continues to pursue further education to keep her practice up to date. In setting up Physio Edge, she describes her goal as bringing quality rehabilitation to all those who need it, on their own terms, in their own homes.
Physio Edge also publishes free resources covering topics like managing clogged ducts and mastitis at home, dealing with rock-hard engorgement, whether to use hot or cold compress for mastitis, De-Quervain's syndrome (mummy's wrist), lymphatic massage for the breast, and preventing or treating breast cancer-related arm lymphoedema.
