“I started suffering from right hip pain in early 2013 and this was later confirmed to be osteoarthritis of the hip. In the beginning, I had to take pills for the pain, but later I started going for regular acupuncture in 2014 for 9 months. Whilst this helped to reduce the pain, I was walking awkwardly with a limp. My right leg progressively felt more stiff and ‘heavy’ as I was experiencing muscle aches and pains. I got tired quickly when walking and I was also having lower back pain when standing for more than 20 mins.

I came across the YAPCHANKOR advertisement on the internet, I read about the treatment and so I decided to give it a try. I signed up for 21 treatments and by the end of the treatment, I found that I was walking more normally, the stiffness and muscle aches in my right leg reduced significantly and my walking improved by 70%. The physio and stretching exercises initially caused pain in my right leg and my hip joint, but I am now able to perform the exercises mostly without any pain, though there is still the occasional pressure felt on the joints.

I used to experience pain around my hip joint whenever I stood up from a sitting position and I had to start moving slowly due to the pain but this rarely occurs now. 

The range of movement for my right leg has improved by about 50%. Although I am able to stretch my legs without pain, I am unable to recover the full range of movement for my right leg.

Overall, I am pleased with the treatment at YAPCHANKOR and the level of professionalism of the physiotherapist, Ms Janna who has been very patient and determined to help me get better.” – Khoo C.S
