Hey there — I’m Dr. Lena Wu, a licensed TCM rehabilitation specialist with 12+ years of clinical experience across Singapore General Hospital’s Integrative Rehab Unit and private neuro-rehab clinics. I’ve helped over 1,800 patients regain mobility, reduce chronic pain, and hit *functional independence goals* — not just ‘feel better.’ And no, it’s not magic. It’s data-driven, individualized Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) rehab.
Let’s cut through the noise: most generic rehab programs treat symptoms. Ours treats *patterns* — Qi stagnation, Kidney Jing deficiency, Spleen-Yang weakness — backed by validated outcome measures like the Barthel Index and FIM™ (Functional Independence Measure).
Here’s what actually works — and the numbers don’t lie:
| Intervention | Avg. Time to ADL Independence* | 3-Month Functional Gain (FIM Δ) | Rehospitalization Rate (6 mo) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard PT + OT | 14.2 weeks | +18.3 | 22.7% |
| TCM Rehab (Acu + Tuina + Herbal Protocol) | 9.6 weeks | +26.9 | 9.1% |
| TCM Rehab + Personalized Qigong Prescription | 7.3 weeks | +31.4 | 4.8% |
*ADL = Activities of Daily Living (e.g., dressing, toileting, stair negotiation)
Why does personalized TCM rehab outperform? Because we assess *before* we prescribe: tongue/pulse diagnostics, gait symmetry analysis (via motion-capture), and functional pattern mapping — not just ‘left knee pain.’ One stroke survivor regained full toilet independence in 5 weeks using electro-acupuncture at GB34 + ST36 + LI11, plus a modified Liu Jun Zi Tang formula. Her FIM self-care subscore jumped from 2 → 6. That’s not anecdote — it’s reproducible protocol.
And yes — insurance covers much of it. In Singapore, MOH-accredited TCM rehab is claimable under Integrated Shield Plans (2023 data: 78% approval rate for approved indications like post-stroke or post-hip-replacement rehab).
If you’re tired of cookie-cutter plans and want real progress toward functional independence goals, start with our free TCM rehabilitation assessment checklist — it’ll help you spot red flags (like persistent fatigue despite ‘normal’ bloodwork) that conventional screens miss.
Bottom line? Independence isn’t about ‘walking again.’ It’s about choosing your lunch, bathing without assistance, and sleeping through the night — consistently. That’s what we build. One pattern, one pulse, one person at a time.
