I went in due to stiffness in my right neck area. The receptionist recommended a consultation followed by Tuina. However, the consultation felt very brief and basic. It mainly involved asking general questions that I had already filled out in the registration form, pressing a few areas on my neck, and taking my blood pressure. The entire consultation lasted about 5 minutes ($35) The 40-minute Tuina massage ($80) did not meet my expectations. I had requested stronger pressure, which was not delivered. The experience felt similar to a basic massage and did not justify the pricing. And my neck stiffness remains.
I feel really lucky to have met the therapist Cindi. I had been struggling with headaches, sleep issues, and sciatica pain for years. After starting treatment with her about four months ago, the improvement has been amazing. Cindi’s massage skills are precise and effective, and she is always patient and attentive. She earned my trust from the very first session. I’ve since recommended her to my mother and husband, and she has helped all of us. We’re truly grateful to Cindi — highly recommended!
Receptionist was friendly and easy to communicate with. The prices were clearly stated and the doctors were experienced. The therapist's techniques were different from those I've experienced at other businesses and were very effective.
Absolutely appalling experience. Both the receptionist and the tuina therapist showed zero concern for my feedback. The place was untidy, with crushed and dirty bed sheets, and the therapist had no understanding of my pain areas — making the session completely useless. My shoulder sprain actually worsened, The staff were unfriendly and indifferent throughout, resulting in a total waste of money. I strongly advise everyone to stay far away from this place.
Cindi is always my favorite tuina therapist. Highly recommended and she is very caring and sincere to help customer in resolving the body ache issue.

No GP referral is required to book a TCM consultation in Singapore. At the first visit, you will typically complete an intake form covering your medical history, current medications, and presenting complaint. The practitioner will then conduct a TCM diagnostic assessment — pulse-taking, tongue examination, and symptom review — before recommending a treatment approach. If you have a complex or chronic condition, or if you are currently on prescription medication, it is advisable to inform both your GP and the TCM practitioner, as certain herbal formulations can interact with pharmaceutical drugs. A GP referral may also help if you intend to claim against an insurance policy or corporate medical benefits, as some plans require a referral letter for TCM reimbursement.
TCM practitioners in Singapore are regulated by the Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioners Board (TCMPB) under the Ministry of Health. Registered practitioners must hold a recognised TCM qualification and pass the TCMPB registration examination. Acupuncturists require a separate acupuncture endorsement on their registration. No specific practitioner licence details were provided for this listing. Before your first appointment, ask to confirm the treating practitioner's full name and TCMPB registration number, then verify it against the public TCMPB register at moh.gov.sg. This takes under two minutes and confirms the practitioner is legally authorised to practise. Confirm the practitioner's licence number on the relevant board's public register before treatment.
