Rehab Alliance, formerly known as K.H. Poon Physiotherapy, is a physiotherapy and rehabilitation clinic at 25/27 Joo Chiat Place. Founded in 2006 as a humble one-man practice providing basic physiotherapy services, it was rebranded in November 2021 to reflect a multidisciplinary philosophy and moved into new premises in the Joo Chiat neighbourhood.
The clinic takes a holistic approach to treatment: clients suffering from pain and disability are assessed to determine the cause and contributing factors of their condition, then guided through the clinic's R.P.E approach — restoring movement and function, preventing recurrence through lifestyle modification, and enhancing performance through therapeutic exercise and movement intelligence.
Its services span musculoskeletal physiotherapy for injuries to the muscles, bones, joints and nerves; neurological physiotherapy for physical problems arising from neurological conditions; and functional mobility with strength and conditioning for the demands of daily life, work and sport. Post-surgical rehabilitation — hip, knee and shoulder replacements, rotator cuff, meniscus and ACL repairs — is part of the clinic's core competence, and its facilities support clients and athletes through strengthening, conditioning and return-to-sport programmes.
Care continues between visits: every treatment ends with advice on exercise therapy to continue at home, and the team actively follows up on progress. Seven experienced physiotherapists and coaches — most with more than 16 years of clinical experience — work from modern, well-equipped facilities and communicate in English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese and Malay.
Rehab Alliance — the clinic long known as K.H. Poon Physiotherapy — has been part of Singapore's physiotherapy landscape since 2006. What began as a humble one-man outfit offering basic physiotherapy services has grown over the years into a multidisciplinary rehabilitation practice, and in November 2021 it took a name to match: Rehab Alliance, with a new home at 25/27 Joo Chiat Place.
The rebrand was about more than a fresh signboard. It reflects a philosophy in which physiotherapists and coaches work alongside their clients as genuine partners — an alliance, in the truest sense. The team believes every client has the faculties needed to walk out of their condition, and its job is to help build a resilient mindset, body and spirit on the way there. Rehabilitation, in their words, is a journey taken together.
Every course of care at Rehab Alliance begins with a proper assessment. Clients suffering from pain and disability are evaluated to determine the cause and the contributing factors behind their condition — not just the symptoms. From there, treatment follows the clinic's R.P.E framework.
At the Restoration stage, the goal is to ease painful symptoms and get recovery moving. The team draws on a broad toolkit: therapeutic exercises, movement training, pain modification techniques, patient education, manual therapy and pain modulation technologies.
Prevention comes next. Guided by the principle of "use it or lose it", patients learn strategies for lifestyle modification, functional mobility, and strengthening and conditioning, so they can adopt a sustainable healthy lifestyle that keeps pain from returning.
Finally, Enhancement aims high: helping patients return to their pre-injury level of performance — and, where possible, exceed it — through therapeutic exercises and movement intelligence.
Three core services anchor the practice. Musculoskeletal physiotherapy restores optimal function and movement for people with injuries to the muscles, bones, joints and nerves. Neurological physiotherapy involves the examination and treatment of physical problems caused by an individual's neurological condition. Functional mobility and S&C (strength and conditioning) trains the body to cope with the daily activities of life, getting muscles to work together through the movements people use at work, at home and in sports.
Post-surgical rehabilitation is a particular strength and forms part of the clinic's core competence. The team routinely manages patients recovering from hip, knee and shoulder replacements, rotator cuff repairs, meniscus repairs and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs. The clinic is also well equipped with modern training facilities and technologies for clients and athletes who need strengthening, conditioning and a structured return to sport.
Care does not stop at the clinic door. At the end of every treatment, patients receive advice on exercise therapy to continue their rehabilitation at home, and the team actively follows up to keep patients compliant and on track for optimal outcomes.
The current team consists of seven experienced physiotherapists and coaches, most of whom bring more than 16 years of clinical experience. The line-up includes founder Poon Kok Hoong — who earned his Diploma in Physiotherapy with Merit from Nanyang Polytechnic — alongside Joyce Tham, Marcus Hong, Lim De Jun, Ong Ghim Hui, Juliana Kok, Poonam Pal, Imran Bin Mohamed Khamis and Chong Yun Qi.
Communication is treated as part of the care: the team is fluent in English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese and Malay, so clients can talk through their recovery in the language they are most comfortable with. Beyond the treatment room, the clinic aims to build a community of like-minded individuals who support one another in the pursuit of health, reinforcing self-help and ownership of one's own wellbeing.
