Why Allied Health Academy
Continuing education for allied health professionals in Singapore tends to come in two shapes: an overseas course you need leave and airfare for, or a lecture you sit through without ever putting your hands on anyone.
We built Allied Health Academy as a third option.
The gap we set out to close
Singapore's healthcare system is under real pressure. An ageing population means heavier caseloads, and the first thing that gets squeezed when clinics are full is training.
The result is drift. A widening gap between how allied health is practised here and how it's practised in comparable health systems — not because clinicians here are less capable, but because they have less access to the training that keeps practice current.
That gap is what we exist to close.
What makes us different
Taught by clinicians who still treat patients
Our trainers run clinics. Dr Ng Chong Ching, who teaches our Spinal Articular Therapy workshop, has practised as a physiotherapist since 1999 and holds a Doctorate in Manual Therapy. You are learning from someone who used the technique last week.
We fly the faculty in, not you out
International specialists teach here, in Singapore. You get the same instruction without the airfare, the leave, or the exchange rate.
Hands-on, not sat-through
Every course is built around technique you practise in the room, on a real person, with a trainer correcting your hands.
One provider, six disciplines
Manual therapy, dry needling, clinical Pilates, lower limb and foot mechanics, TMJ management, podiatric dermatology. You are not stitching a year of development together from six different vendors.
What we've delivered so far
Who our courses are for
- Physiotherapists
- Podiatrists
- Occupational therapists
- Chiropractors
- Osteopaths
Registered and practising in Singapore. Some courses assume prior experience in the modality; each course page states its prerequisites.
These are professional training courses, not patient treatment. If you are looking for Pilates or manual therapy as a patient, you want a clinic, not an academy.
