Jia Ru Lim

Senior Physiotherapist

Jia Ru's path into physiotherapy began during her years on Singapore's national kayaking team. A frustrating injury and the recovery that followed showed her firsthand how much good rehabilitation can change a person's life, and she set out to do the same for others. Already holding a degree in Sport Science and Management from Nanyang Technological University, she made the move into healthcare with a sponsorship from Tan Tock Seng Hospital. Working in the busy acute setting of Tan Tock Seng Hospital, she managed patients across cardiopulmonary, orthopaedic and musculoskeletal care, which gave her a broad clinical foundation. She has since focused her practice on musculoskeletal conditions and orthopaedic rehabilitation before and after surgery. She draws on her sport science background to guide patients through each stage of recovery, and uses manual therapy and taping where appropriate to help them stay active. For Jia Ru, recovery starts with a conversation. She takes time to listen and understand the person behind the injury, including their lifestyle, habits and the goals that matter to them day to day, rather than looking at scans and symptoms alone. She pairs her clinical findings with a plan built around each individual, and treats her patients as active partners through clear education and shared decision-making. Her aim is to help them build long-term resilience, move with confidence, and return to the sports and activities they love. Outside of work, Jia Ru is an athlete at heart. You can find her cycling, bouldering, swimming, playing squash and basketball, or training at the gym. She also loves bonding with her family over a good vegetarian meal.

Velene Yeoh

Physiotherapist

Velene attained her Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Physiotherapy from the Singapore Institute of Technology – Trinity College of Dublin. She began her career in paediatric physiotherapy, working closely with infants, children, and adolescents with a wide range of developmental, neurological, genetic, and musculoskeletal conditions. This shaped her clinical reasoning and honed her ability to tailor rehabilitation programmes to each individual to provide holistic, patient-centric care rather than looking solely at the presenting complaints. As a musculoskeletal physiotherapist, Velene empowers her clients through education, active rehabilitation, and evidence-based treatment. She enjoys helping people understand their condition, regain confidence in movement, and return to the activities that matter most to them, with a particular interest in chronic lower back pain and knee pain.

That experience shaped how she guides each client through their rehabilitation, with encouragement and personalised care targeted at meaningful, long-term outcomes.

Tian Rong Tan

Physiotherapist

Tian Rong began his healthcare journey at Ren Ci Hospital, where he received the Community Care Manpower Development Award from the Agency for Integrated Care to pursue his physiotherapy studies. He went on to graduate with First Class Honours in Physiotherapy from the Singapore Institute of Technology and Trinity College Dublin joint programme. His career has taken him across the rehabilitation continuum, including community hospitals, day rehabilitation centres, nursing homes and home therapy. Along the way, he has managed musculoskeletal and neurological conditions, post-operative rehabilitation, cardiopulmonary conditions, and frail and complex older adults. That range has given him a clear sense of how a patient's needs change at each stage of recovery. Tian Rong believes good physiotherapy starts with understanding the person behind the condition. He places strong emphasis on patient education and considers not only pain, movement, and strength, but also each patient's goals, confidence, lifestyle, and wider factors such as sleep, stress, and recovery habits. His aim is to help patients build the knowledge, physical capacity and confidence needed to manage their health and return to the activities that matter to them. His commitment to quality care and patient experience has been recognised with multiple Gold and Silver Singapore Health Quality Service Awards. Outside of work, Tian Rong enjoys strength training, hunting down a good matcha, and volunteering in the community.
