Where to start? Brigitte has utterly and completely changed my life in every way for the better. I came to her after suffering a compression fracture of the T-12 vertebra utterly defeated, having lost my range of motion, and debilitated with chronic pain. I had visited with other physios but had not found success. Brigitte challenged my mental and physical state in perfect balance, furthering my understanding of my body and its respective dynamics. In our sessions, she provided me with a step-by-step plan of what to focus on each day, enabling me to regain agency over my body in a manner that felt attainable. She is excellent at explaining not only what we are doing, but also why, so that I can think about these things during everyday activities. Within a relatively short amount of time, my pain was completely eliminated. I continue to work with Brigitte to maintain the gains we made and in hopes of achieving more – feeling my entire body getting stronger and more integrated. Every session is entirely new and differentiated from previous ones, and Brigitte continues to introduce novel elements/challenges into my rehab to expand my capabilities. Bri - I am forever indebted to you for assisting my mental, emotional, and physical well being!
Brigitte has helped me transform my life. I started going to see Brigitte two years ago after trying different Physio clinics around Singapore This is my story: I was in chronic pain on the right side of my body for over one year. I also could not sit on hard surfaces as that triggered even more pain. I was constantly feeling depressed. In addition I had a neuroma in my right foot that I had surgically removed. I was also taking pain medication. With high expertise and much patience Brigitte started treating me. She would teach me about my posture, muscular imbalances, stretches and strengthening exercises. She would also do dry needling in the areas where she felt it was needed. I always felt I was in great hands. Now I am a completely different person. I can sit wherever I want. I can exercise with no pain. I am constantly in a happy mood. I take no pain medication. My foot is much better. I have learned so much about my body. I have been extremely lucky to have found Brigitte. I continue to go to Brigitte but no longer as a pain patient. I go for strengthening and maintenance. I continue to learn and get stronger. I definitely had a star watching over me. Thank you Brigitte
I was referred to Brigitte with a right shoulder injury, incurred when optimistically attempting a challenging yoga pose. She did a thorough assessment and concluded that I have scoliosis, hyper-kyphosis, hyper-lordosis and chronic tension in my core, hips and shoulders, likely caused by years of hunching over a computer at work. So, basically, the shoulder injury was the tip of the iceberg! My treatment has involved releasing muscle tension, ungluing fascia, learning how to relax, unjamming / realigning joints, unlearning bad habits, strengthening weak muscles, relearning how to do even the simplest of movement. Brigitte's skilful dry needling has been a major part of restoring the condition of my muscles: yes, it's been painful at times, but the dry needling has been highly effective for me. Her ability to analyse movement and her understanding of how the musculoskeletal system works is awesome: she can always spot when I'm cheating (using the wrong muscles) and when I haven't been doing my homework. We've been working for over 3 years now - that may seem like a long time, but when dealing with extensive issues that have built up over 20+ years, they're not going to get fixed overnight. The improvement in my posture, my range of motion, my pain level and overall well-being has been tremendous. I cannot emphasis enough how much Brigitte's skills as a physiotherapist have impacted the quality of my life.
