Rehabilitation & Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy in Singapore
What is a common mistake made by people who have sustained sporting injuries? They stop moving completely and become sedentary. This poses a huge problem. Simply put, when you stop moving a joint or muscle, your body assumes there is nothing that needs to “recover” in that area, whereas this is not the case.
The human body understands only one language – movement. Therefore, the swiftest and most effective way to get you back in form after an injury is to reintroduce motion to the affected joint or muscle as early as possible in your rehabilitation journey. To fully recover from a sports injury, physical therapy is vital, as it will ensure your body heals in such a way that you retain your athletic ability.
At Revive Strength & Conditioning, we understand exactly how important it is, both physically and mentally, for you to recover from your injury as soon as possible. Our expert trainers can provide you with effective sports therapy in Singapore to get you back on your feet. We have helped numerous clients overcome their injuries, regain mobility and strength, and even surpass their previous limits.
Our Approach to Rehabilitation
Each injury poses unique challenges, which is why at Revive, we take a personalised approach to sports therapy in Singapore. Our personal trainers, who specialise in different fields, will work closely with you to understand the nature of your injury, as well as the physical and psychological impact it has had on your performance. This is important to ensure that you have a rehabilitation programme that helps you overcome the specific challenges you face.
To get you back on track and avoid the likelihood of reinjury, we incorporate the following into our programme for sports relief therapy in Singapore:
-
Mobility and movement drills
-
Soft tissue work
-
Strength and stability exercises
-
Proprioception training
What we do for the first session:
-
Initial Assessment – We will conduct an assessment to identify the root cause of the injury. The assessment includes a questionnaire and physical assessment to ascertain your current mobility, movement, strength, and stability.
-
Treatment – Depending on the current stage of recovery, the treatment will cover soft tissue work, as well as mobility, strength, and stability exercises.
After the first session, we will create a progressive training plan and pair you with the right personal trainer to ensure that your rehabilitation and recovery process is as effective as possible.
The training plan will cover three main phases: recovery, strengthening, and athletics. Each phase will aim to achieve different objectives, which must be met before progressing to the next phase. For example, during the strengthening phase, we will need to strengthen the injured area, as this prevents the recurrence of injury. We will also give you follow-up exercises to do at home to ensure you are achieving the best rehabilitation possible with our sports therapy in Singapore.
TESTIMONIALS

Not a believer of paying to go gym until I unconsciously injured my leg. After several sessions of X-ray,MRI and physiotherapy, there was no concrete solution to my agony whenever i walk. My group of friends endorsed me to consult Dennis Lim (Revive) after learning about my problem.
Within 2 months, I could see significant improvements and feel my legs are given new lease of life. I treasure my fresh pair of legs and am eternally grateful to Dennis for his rehabilitation work.

Took up a trial class after Dennis came to our office for a wellness talk. I had sciatica issues for 5 months so I have decided to sign up for a trial class with him and discuss the goal to fix my sciatica issue. After the first trial with him, I felt less pain in my glutes.
I’ve signed up with him for 3 sessions and I was assigned to Maxx as my trainer. Maxx is a nice and gentle guy, he explained to me every task he is getting me to do. After the 1st session, my piriformis issue was fixed and I didn't feel any pain when doing certain movements. The top achievement I gained from these few sessions is that my muscles are very tight and now I have learned what type of stretches I need to do and these stretches are so simple and useful.
Now I can go on my hiking trip to Nepal with ease. I will sign up with Maxx again after my trip. This time round is to build muscles in my upper body for future hiking trips. I would like to thank Maxx for his patience and guidance.

I started going to the gym about 7 years ago, usually to attend a spinning class and sometimes to run on the treadmill or workout on the elliptical trainer. It was only about 2 years later, when I felt the need to lose weight and toned my body, that I started to take exercising more seriously. I signed up for twice-weekly personal training sessions and although I managed to maintain my weight I did not feel fitter or stronger.
I was introduced to Dennis by a colleague who had trained with him. I found my training sessions with him to be curiously different from my previous experience with PTs and persuaded my husband to try training with Dennis as well. How Dennis is curiously different is that we have never felt ‘short-changed’ being trained by him. He prepares each of his lessons and always makes sure that we get the most from each PT session. He is a committed trainer who constantly pushes us to stretch my limits and achieve better results in a safe and measured manner. He is also very attentive in ensuring that we always maintain the correct posture and use the correct techniques to avoid injuries. So we have never once felt that any of our PT sessions were lacking or that we did not receive sufficient training for that day.
We have since discovered that Dennis is also a highly motivated individual, who will regularly pay his own tuition fees to take courses that will upgrade his knowledge and skills, to ensure that he is a well-informed and effective trainer. And although he works long hours, he still finds time to train himself and pursue his passion to play and participate in beach volleyball competitions. We also know Dennis to be a devoted father, loving husband and filial son, who makes sure to spend to spend quality time with his daughter, wife and family.
Dennis regularly reminds us of the need to take a holistic approach towards achieving our health and fitness goals – that training hard and eating well must become a habit so that these are embedded into my lifestyle. For a long time he had difficulty convincing my husband to eat right and lose weight. But one day he decided to rope me in to manage my husband’s diet – this partnership proved effective and when my 51 year-old husband started losing weight he got more motivated to build muscle and lose body fat. He is now able to do chin-ups and has set a goal on how many more he wants to do by year-end. As for me I have become stronger and fitter, so for example I now do only regular push-ups instead of knee push-ups. My husband and I enjoy our PT sessions with Dennis and have great respect for him for motivating us to live an active and healthy lifestyle. He has been an effective Personal Trainer to us for more than 3 years and we now regard him as not just a PT but also a friend.
I highly recommend Dennis as he is a highly effective and professional Personal Trainer.

I have been working with Dennis as my PT for over a year. The experience has been profound. As a professional endurance athlete I was weak on the strength front. Dennis transformed this for me. He got to know me really well and guided my journey towards building balanced strength that catapulted my endurance achievements. I am confident to say without his training I would not be at the peak of my endurance.
Dennis has the eye to understand a person areas of physical fitness and then invests time to work thoroughly on settling and achieving goals. He is realistic and brings the best out knowing when to push hard or not.
Recently I suffered from a shoulder rotator cuff tear that really impaired my activities. Dennis was brilliant in helping me through the recovery with guided exercises and advice. This clearly demonstrated his knowledge and practical experience helping athletes with sports injuries. Finding a PT that has a very mature, balanced and deep understanding of sports is rare and I am really thankful to have him train me.

Training with Dennis Lim has been a really positive and enjoyable experience! I have an old back injury due to a fall that have bothering me for years. With the knowledge he has given me on physical therapy, exercise and diet, I’ve come to overcome my injury and function normally. No surgery required! He has also taken the time to answer all my questions.
He has done a fantastic job of personalising my wellness plan, both fitness and dietary, so that I make meaningful progress towards my goal.
Thank you Dennis for your patience, I look forward to training with you again!

Dennis was highly recommended by a good friend to be engage as my personal trainer. My initial reason for a personal trainer was to help strengthen my muscles to pain manage my chronic hip pain for a year. After months of physiotherapy treatments, nothing came close to what Dennis had done for me.
Dennis is a person who listens and relate effectively. He is knowledgeable to access my injuries and understand my situation. With his vast knowledge, he came up with an effective program and which was instrumental in helping me to stay pain free. Just within 6-8 weeks I was able to move from rehab program to an overall strengthening program. This allows me to become a much stronger sport person then I was before.
Ever since then, I have moved from pain management to effectively doing strength building instead. I have become a better sport person and its evidence in my running races. Dennis did not just stop there for me, in fact he continued to help integrate my running programs together with his training program to make me an all-rounded sport person. He is also a very motivated individual who strides to constantly upgrade his skill sets. Evidence from the courses he attends to better his knowledge to help us i.e. his clientele
I am very fortunate to have met Dennis.
