Samuel Kan

Physiotherapist | Osteopath | Rolfer

MPT BSc USA   DOMP Can   Rolfer RISI USA

Sam is the founder of Bodyworks Studio. Graduating with a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Loma Linda University in California, USA, Sam worked in hospitals and private practices in both USA and Singapore before setting up his own practice in 1997 at Tanglin Shopping Centre. Sam studied with the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration (RISI) and became a certified Rolfer. Rolfing is built on myofascial release techniques which focus on the connective tissue in the body, also known as fascia. Working with fascia has opened up his mind to the capacity of the body's connective tissue and how its pervasiveness makes it such an important component we cannot overlook. His quest to deepen his knowledge led him to complete a Diplomate in Osteopathic Manipulative Theory & Practice from the Osteopathic College of Ontario, Canada, giving his patients more options over a wide range of conditions. Having honed his craft over a span of more than 20 years, Sam’s forward-thinking approach to diagnosis and treatment of physical dysfunction has led him to attend annual international osteopathy and physical therapy conferences and workshops in Germany, Canada and the UK. He is a registered member of Allied Health Professions Council, Singapore Physiotherapy Association, Rolf Institute of Structural Integration and the Ontario Federation of Osteopathic Professionals. If you’re looking for a practitioner with a wealth and depth of experience in manual therapy, let Sam manage your wellness and healthcare. From a basic consultation to diagnosing and treating ailments, make an appointment and see how Sam can help you today.

Nicole Lu

BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy |

Dip Sports & Exercise Science

Ingrained with the exposure of playing sports whilst growing up, Nicole knew she wanted to be a tennis coach and undertook a Diploma in Sports & Exercise Science. However, after a back injury and a trip to the physiotherapist later, she was inspired to study physiotherapy in the University of Bradford (UK). She began her physiotherapy career in 2012 at Singapore General Hospital (SGH). Whilst at her stint in SGH, she was given the opportunity to treat patients from both in- and out- patients in orthopaedics, medical and geriatrics disciplines, including coverage at the Autoimmune & Rheumatology Centre. She was part of the medical team for the Standard Chartered Marathon in 2014/15. Through patients’ recognition, she was awarded the Singapore Health Quality Service Award in Silver. Through the years, she has gained invaluable insights working at a private hospital, a private nursing home and being a locum physiotherapist in various clinics all across Singapore. During the pandemic, she explored teaching a geriatrics subject at Temasek Polytechnic as an adjunct lecturer. As part of her career milestone, she also gave an interview on The Straits Times: The Big Story on 5th January 2022 on tips for elderly persons on living well. Nicole also acknowledges the need for other rehabilitative tools to help her patients’ recovery and thus, had equipped herself with knowledge in DMA Clinical Pilates, OMT Dry Needling and being a Rock Tape practitioner. With Nicole’s calm demeanour and adaptability, you will find yourself in her good hands at Bodyworks Studio. Her interest lies in conditions of the spine and she strongly believes in the powerful combination of the touch of her hands and a curated exercise programme to help her patients achieve a desired functional level. Nicole enjoys watching criminal documentaries, runs and works out regularly and still plays tennis.

Nicholas Ngoh

BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy

Nicholas is a dedicated physiotherapist with a strong foundation in sports science and a deep-rooted passion for helping individuals and athletes achieve their optimal health and performance. His journey in physiotherapy was significantly influenced by his experiences as a competitive athlete and personal encounters with injuries. Having graduated with First-Class Honors in BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy from Manchester Metropolitan University, Nicholas has honed his skills through rigorous academic training and practical experience. To further enhance his expertise, Nicholas has completed the VTCT Level 3/4 Sports Massage Course and the Foundation for Dry Needling and Acupuncture. Nicholas' athletic background spans over a decade, during which he actively participated in various track and field events, including sprints, jumps, and relays. Competing in regional meets such as the Singapore Open and in Hong Kong, Nicholas has gained valuable insights into the physical demands and potential challenges faced by athletes. Beyond his competitive career, Nicholas maintains a healthy lifestyle through regular gym workouts and running. This personal commitment to fitness allows him to empathise with his patients and provide tailored advice based on his experiences. One of Nicholas' primary goals as a physiotherapist is to empower his patients with the knowledge and tools they need to manage their conditions independently. He believes in a personalised approach that addresses each individual’s unique needs and preferences. His lifelong interest in sports has driven him to explore various athletic pursuits, including football, basketball, badminton, and cycling. Unfortunately, his athletic journey has not been without its challenges. Having experienced multiple injuries himself, Nicholas has developed a deep understanding of the physical and emotional toll that injuries can take. These experiences have fueled his determination to help others overcome similar obstacles and regain their quality of life. While working as a sports massage therapist in the UK, Nicholas had the opportunity to support the Manchester Full Marathon 2024 and Manchester Half Marathon 2023. This experience provided him with valuable exposure to the diverse needs of athletes and reinforced his commitment to the field of physiotherapy. Nicholas has also achieved distinction in his clinical placements in the UK which include musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory in critical care, community, leadership and acute medicine. Drawing from his professional training and experiences as an athlete, Nicholas is dedicated to providing comprehensive and effective physiotherapy care. His goal is to help his patients achieve their full potential, whether they are recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions or striving to enhance their athletic performance.
