Our content is derived from peer-reviewed journals, clinical guidelines from the Ministry of Health (MOH), and established global physiotherapy practices. Every article is fact-checked by a senior member of our clinical team before publication.
2. The “No Jargon” Guarantee
We follow Sylvia Ho’s principle that “Patient education is crucial.” We make it a point to communicate clearly, stripping away intimidating medical jargon (like idiopathic or asymptomatic) and replacing it with clear, actionable language that empowers the patient.
3. Independence & Transparency
No Hidden Ads: Our editorial content is strictly independent. We do not accept payment to “rank” specific medical products or services.
Affiliation Disclosure: Any partnerships or internal services mentioned are clearly disclosed to ensure our readers can make informed decisions.
