Physio & Sole Clinic (Kovan) is a physiotherapy and podiatry clinic at 247 Hougang Avenue 3, part of a Singapore-wide group with 11 locations. The clinic brings two closely related specialities under one roof: physiotherapists who treat musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries and post-surgical recovery, and podiatrists who look after foot, ankle and lower-limb conditions such as heel pain, bunions and ingrown toenails.
The team describes its care as evidence-based and patient-centric, with clinicians working closely with each patient to develop personalised plans and provide ongoing support. The podiatrists and physiotherapists collaborate, so complex lower-limb problems — gait issues, persistent heel pain, recovery after surgery — can be managed holistically rather than piecemeal. The group also takes pride in being trusted by numerous orthopaedic doctors who refer their patients for rehabilitation.
Beyond general physiotherapy and podiatry, the group runs a dedicated Women and Children's health service covering needs such as pelvic organ prolapse, vaginismus, juvenile arthritis and intoeing gait. Physio & Sole Clinic works with a broad range of insurance panels, and appointments are typically available within the week, bookable online or by messaging the Kovan branch directly.
At 247 Hougang Avenue 3, Physio & Sole Clinic (Kovan) is the neighbourhood branch of a Singapore-wide group that has built its reputation on pairing two closely related specialities under one roof: physiotherapy and podiatry. It is one of 11 Physio & Sole locations across the island, but the Kovan clinic keeps the focus local — experienced clinicians, one-to-one attention and treatment plans shaped around the person in front of them rather than a fixed template.
The clinic's founding idea is simple: feet, ankles, knees and backs rarely misbehave in isolation. The physiotherapy side of the practice treats musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries and post-surgical recovery, drawing on tools such as extracorporeal shockwave therapy, manual therapy, postural analysis and structured post-surgery rehabilitation. The podiatry side looks after everything from heel pain, plantar fasciitis and bunions to ingrown toenails, flat feet and diabetic foot care, with custom orthotics and insoles prescribed where they can help.
Because the podiatrists and physiotherapists work collaboratively — the group counts this as one of its defining strengths — a patient with a stubborn lower-limb problem can have gait assessed, insoles fitted and a strengthening programme prescribed without being referred elsewhere. The group describes its care as evidence-based, multidisciplinary and tailored to each patient's needs.
Shockwave therapy and post-surgical rehabilitation are among the practice's headline services. Patient reviews across the group frequently mention recovery from operations such as ACL reconstruction, with therapists praised for explaining each exercise clearly and prescribing specific, progressive programmes. Others describe regaining strength and confidence in an ankle after a bad strain, or steady improvement in long-standing back pain — often within just a few sessions.
That consistency is backed by scale: the group highlights more than 2,000 patient testimonials, and reviewers routinely name individual physiotherapists and podiatrists they worked with, reflecting the one-to-one style of care the clinics aim for.
Through its dedicated Women and Children's arm, the group offers specialised physiotherapy and podiatry for needs that general clinics often overlook. That includes pelvic organ prolapse and vaginismus on the women's health side, and paediatric conditions such as juvenile arthritis and intoeing gait on the children's side. For Hougang families, it means these services are available without travelling into the city.
The group's clinical leadership includes Senior Partner and Principal Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Farha Nisha and Group Partner and Principal Musculoskeletal Physiotherapist Low Yang Zhi, with Principal Podiatrists Kerra Kong Yen Lin and Ng Jia Lin among the podiatry leads. Physio & Sole describes itself as patient-centric: clinicians work closely with patients to develop effective plans and provide ongoing support. The team also takes pride in being trusted by numerous orthopaedic doctors, who confidently refer their patients for rehabilitation.
Physio & Sole Clinic works with a wide set of insurance panels, including Allianz, Cigna, United Healthcare, International SOS, Raffles Health, GeoBlue, Healix, IHP Healthcare and Adept Health, so it is worth checking your coverage before your visit. Appointments are typically available within the week and can be made through the group's online booking page, or you can message the Kovan branch directly on WhatsApp at 98929566 — the group also runs an Ask A Pod WhatsApp service for quick questions about foot concerns.
Whether you are recovering from surgery, chasing a persistent heel pain or getting a child's walking pattern assessed, the Kovan branch offers a multidisciplinary, evidence-based option right in the heart of Hougang.
