SportsMed is a physiotherapy and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) clinic at One Holland Village in Singapore, positioned around the idea of "enhanced healing and performance." The clinic delivers personalised, evidence-led physiotherapy supporting recovery, movement and performance across injuries, pain, posture, mobility and rehabilitation, combining Western physiotherapy techniques with TCM approaches such as acupuncture and herbal medicine.
Treatment areas span pain management (frozen shoulder, office syndrome, joint pain, muscle strain), sports injuries (lumbar strain, runner's knee, ACL tear, tendonitis, tennis elbow, groin strain), recovery and rehabilitation (post-stroke, post-knee replacement, post-operation rehabilitation, muscle atrophy), posture correction (in-toeing, out-toeing, hip misalignment, Dowager's hump, paediatric knock-knees, scoliosis, hunchback), and internal conditioning (obesity, immunity, pre- and post-natal care, and sub-health discomfort relating to gastric, menstrual, stress or long Covid issues). The clinic also offers custom insoles for foot correction, designed to support proper foot arch development and address hip and knee issues linked to foot deformities.
SportsMed's approach follows a 3-step process: a comprehensive assessment by a physiotherapist covering functional, nerval, internal organ, joint and muscular analysis (with optional statistical reporting using posture, foot pressure and body composition analysis technology), a personalised treatment plan drawing on sports rehab, strength and conditioning, manual therapy and electrotherapy, and a review stage where the team advises on home exercises to maximise results.
At One Holland Village, SportsMed has built its practice around a combination that some clients admit they were skeptical of at first: pairing Traditional Chinese Medicine with Western physiotherapy. Judging by client reviews, the pairing has won plenty of converts.
SportsMed's own tagline sums up its focus — enhanced healing and performance — and its stated aim is to deliver personalised, evidence-led physiotherapy that supports recovery, movement and performance across injuries, pain, posture, mobility and rehabilitation. Rather than treating physiotherapy and TCM as separate disciplines, the clinic blends the two, using acupuncture and herbal medicine alongside physiotherapy techniques.
The clinic's treatment areas are broad. Pain management covers frozen shoulder, office syndrome, joint pain and muscle strain. Sports injury treatment addresses lumbar strain, runner's knee, ACL tears, tendonitis, tennis elbow and groin strain. On the recovery side, SportsMed supports patients through post-stroke rehabilitation, post-knee replacement recovery, post-operation rehabilitation and muscle atrophy. Posture correction is another focus area, addressing in-toeing, out-toeing, hip misalignment, Dowager's hump, paediatric knock-knees, scoliosis and hunchback. The clinic also offers internal conditioning support for obesity, immunity, pre- and post-natal care, and sub-health discomfort tied to gastric issues, menstrual health, stress or long Covid.
What distinguishes SportsMed's process is its structure. Step one is a comprehensive assessment by a physiotherapist, covering functional, nerval, internal organ, joint and muscular analysis. Clients can opt into statistical reporting (at an additional cost, listed at U.P. $180) that includes a Posture Analysis Report, a Foot Pressure Analysis Report and a Body Composition Analysis Report — each using specific measurement technology, from bioelectrical impedance analysis for body composition to pressure plate technology for gait assessment. Step two builds a personalised treatment plan drawing from sports rehab, strength and conditioning, manual therapy and electrotherapy. Step three is a review, where the team goes back over the session and advises on home exercises to keep progress moving between visits.
Beyond hands-on treatment, SportsMed offers custom insoles aimed at correcting foot conditions. According to the clinic, these insoles promote proper foot arch development, help alleviate hip and knee deformities linked to foot issues, and reduce pelvic deviations caused by lower limb length discrepancies.
Reviews describe the TCM-and-physiotherapy combination as effective for prolonged pain issues, with one client crediting the clinic's professional body composition analysis and targeted treatment for reducing inflammation and improving overall wellbeing through acupuncture and herbal medicine. Another client, initially skeptical about mixing TCM with physiotherapy, described the combined approach as more knowledgeable and practical than a physio-only approach, helping identify how walking patterns and old injuries were contributing to ongoing pain. A staff member named Mr Du is mentioned by clients for teaching exercises to correct running posture and strengthen recovery from a hamstring strain.
