Testimonials


” I appreciate the conducive learning energy in the classes. Each time I attend a course, I discover more about this amazing body work.”
— Roxanne Foo, PT


” The treatment of chronic pain is rarely straightforward, making Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Visceral Manipulation (VM) valuable tools in addressing the needs of this complex client population. CST offers a gentle, non-invasive approach that can be particularly effective in supporting individuals on a nuanced and often delicate healing journey. From a musculoskeletal standpoint, VM provides a unique perspective by encouraging consideration of the abdominal cavity and its potential contribution to the symptoms presented—offering a meaningful complement to a traditional physiotherapy assessment and treatment plan. “
— Ruth Norwinda, DPT


” The instructors from VM, NM, CST, LDT and a series of advanced courses are highly experienced and knowledgeable. We have plenty of hands-on guidance with Q&A time to related to clinical cases. I learned advanced skills in tissue palpation “listen-follow” to detect tissue restrictions and feel fluid movements to evaluate and provide manual treatments for my clients with various pain and mobility issues. The results of the work also facilitate better exercise outcomes which motivate my clients to continue their home exercises. My work as a physiotherapist cannot be more fulfilling and fun without the inspiration and knowledge I gained from all these workshops!”
— Choong Li Sann, PT


”  “Feel first and think later”. This has been the key motto for my musculoskeletal physiotherapy practice since I integrated visceral manipulation and craniosacral approaches in my work.
“Feel” refers to the manual listening of the body to find out what it needs at that moment for the presentation of the symptom(s).
The “Think” part is the structural differential diagnosis to clinically reason why the body is suffering. This approach has benefited many of my patients and my understanding of the body at a different layer.”
— Dr Ng Chong Ching (DMT), Manualcircle
