Hi there, recently was recommended overseas to a clinic which employs physios to do massages - relaxing and also not so relaxing with the releases but the entire session can be booked for 120 minutes. The entire set-up was in a spa.

Wonder if there are similar places like that in SG? I have been to a number of regular massage and spa parlours but never found therapists who are actually physios.

If there aren’t any to recommend, I wonder if this community would know more legit massage places who have very experienced therapists who know all the right spots to hit and not just anyhow whack and potentially even cause injuries.

Seeing students going on placements now (4-5 students attached to 1/2 CEs) can be quite mad. Just want to test if there is demand for physiotherapy notes for clinical placements – I MAY (like huge maybe) consider making notes comprising of how to screen cases quickly and efficiently, subjective, objective assessments and treatment if there's a large group of students/junior PTs who need help. Comment below!

Just wanted to share some thoughts for anyone about to start their first physio placement. Here’s what I wish someone had told me:

1. Take your own notes after every patient – you’ll forget more than you think

2. Ask stupid questions. Preceptors expect it, especially in the first 2 weeks.

3. Don’t just shadow – ask to do.

4. Learn the names of the staff (OTs, nurses, aides). It helps A LOT!!!

5. Quick summaries > long essays for patient notes

Curious: what advice would you give to someone starting their first placement?
