Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Care for Women in Singapore

Pain doesn’t have to be your “normal.”

At Calyx, we specialise in musculoskeletal physiotherapy that honours the unique physiology and lifestyle of women. Our treatments go beyond pain relief as we restore strength, posture, function, and confidence through evidence-based care and hands-on support. Every woman’s body is different, so your care should be too.

WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR FIRST VISIT

  • Do you only treat pregnant or postpartum women?

    No. We are experts in women’s musculoskeletal physiotherapy across all life stages and transitions, including pre- and postnatal care, perimenopause and menopause. Our services are designed for all women, whether you’re an athlete, a desk worker, or enjoying retirement.

  • What’s the difference between women’s musculoskeletal physiotherapy and general physiotherapy?

    We consider female biomechanics, hormonal influences and life stages that affect how pain is experienced and treated. Our combined expertise in musculoskeletal and pelvic health physiotherapy gives us a clearer picture to design an effective treatment plan.

  • Will I need to do exercises at home?

    Most recovery plans include simple, guided exercises to improve your strength, posture, and pain tolerance between sessions.

  • Can musculoskeletal pain be related to pelvic health issues?

    Yes. Conditions like pelvic girdle pain or coccydynia often overlap with pelvic floor dysfunction. As the pelvic floor is part of the “core,” pelvic health issues can affect core stability, leading to common musculoskeletal pain in the lower back, neck, knees, and hips.

    Pelvic floor dysfunction can also impact breathing, posture, and cause rib or shoulder pain. We assess holistically and treat the whole person.

OLIVIA LEE
Birth and Postpartum Doula & Childbirth Educator

Olivia is a birth and postpartum doula and a childbirth educator. After welcoming two daughters of her own, she discovered how transformative continuous support, trusted information, and compassionate care can be during pregnancy and birth. That experience inspired her to walk alongside other families as they prepare for one of life’s most meaningful transitions.

She believes birth is more than something to prepare for. With the right knowledge, support, and mindset, it can also be something families look forward to and even enjoy. While every birth unfolds differently, Olivia’s approach is centred on helping parents understand what to expect, explore their options, and prepare both practically and emotionally for the journey ahead. Rather than striving for the “perfect” birth, she hopes every family feels safe, respected, and supported enough to embrace whatever path their birth takes with confidence, flexibility, and grace.

Whether supporting a first-time mother or a growing family, Olivia’s goal is for parents to look back on their birth feeling heard, cared for, and proud of the way they welcomed their baby into the world.
