We manage the health of your body’s bones, muscles and other components of the body’s musculoskeletal system. Our range of services include preventative measures, diagnostic services and treatment. The human musculoskeletal system provides form, stability, and movement to the human body. It consists of body’s bones (the skeleton), muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, joints, and other connective tissue (the tissue that supports and binds tissues and organs together).

The Core Concepts group consists of several divisions specialising in different areas of musculoskeletal system. Some of the conditions we diagnose and treat include:

  • Low-back pain and neck pains,
  • Pre-or-post spinal surgery,
  • Post Total-Hip Replacement & Total-Knee Replacement Surgery,
  • Sports related injury such as ACL reconstruction, Shoulder Injuries,
  • Stroke and Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and Guillain Barre syndrome,
  • Pregnancy related aches and pains,
Core Concepts – Physiotherapy Centre is the group’s spine division. Focusing primarily on manual therapy, this division has developed a reputation for solving difficult cases.

This division set up the first dedicated rehabilitative core stability exercise programme in Singapore in 2003. Continuing its pioneering drive, it is also the first private group offering Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging training for the pelvic floor and core stability muscles.

Musculoskeletal Consumer Review or MCR is Core Concepts’s on-line journal. Musculoskeletal conditions for the layman can often be confusing with a myriad of answers and explanations. Answers found on the internet tend to swing between being too simplistic but easy to understand or accurate but difficult to digest. MCR aims to bridge this gap. MCR also published hard-copies of selected articles for GP and Specialists clinics.

Core Concept’s therapists are often sought for their view by the local media on various topics and condition. For a selection of media coverage, see here.
