UrbanRehab: Multi-Disciplinary Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation in Singapore

UrbanRehab is a Singapore clinic built around a simple idea: rehabilitation works best when a team of specialists works together. The clinic describes itself as providing a total package of care for all client types, with therapists whose expertise spans all age groups and lifestyles.

Physiotherapy at the Core

Physiotherapy is UrbanRehab's central service, helping restore movement and function for anyone affected by injury, illness or disability. Within physiotherapy, the clinic offers several focused streams: MSK physiotherapy, sports physiotherapy, pre and post-natal physiotherapy, and spinal physiotherapy — covering a wide range of client needs from athletes to new parents.

Hand Therapy and Podiatry

Alongside physiotherapy, UrbanRehab runs a hand therapy service delivered by an Occupational Therapist, covering customised splinting and bracing as well as upper limb rehabilitation for conditions affecting the hands and arms.

The clinic's podiatry team addresses the diagnosis and treatment of foot, ankle and leg disorders, with services including custom orthotics and insoles, general foot care, and sports podiatry.

Beyond the Core Services

UrbanRehab's offering extends further into pre and post-operative rehabilitation — exercise-based intervention prescribed before and after surgery — as well as shockwave therapy, ergonomic assessments, and clinical pilates, a treatment approach created through physiotherapists modifying pilates for rehab purposes.

The clinic also offers individualised treatment modalities that combine different methods to suit each client's recovery needs, strength and conditioning training aimed at weight loss, fitness and performance goals, deep tissue and sports massage therapy from a dedicated, trained therapist, and ergonomics and fitness-for-work services focused on the best fit between people and their work.

The Team

UrbanRehab's team is multidisciplinary, bringing together senior and principal physiotherapists, a hand therapist, a senior podiatrist, and a sport massage therapist. The clinic describes this as a team-based approach: therapists working together to guide each client through their rehab journey, from the moment treatment starts until the session finishes.

What Clients Say

Reviews on the clinic point to real outcomes. One client credited physiotherapy for recovering from a swollen ankle that turned out to be an Achilles' tendon issue, following a tailored exercise programme. Another described finally feeling relief from chronic neck and shoulder pain after trying "countless" other treatments elsewhere, praising a physiotherapist's listening and holistic approach. A further review highlighted a team-based approach between a physiotherapist and podiatrist for combined shoulder and foot issues, while another client spoke highly of a physiotherapist's expertise in treating persistent neck and shoulder problems.
