Great experience overall!
Great experience overall! I’ve had lower back aches on and off for a couple of years and finally decided to try out TCM.
My back felt much better after the treatment and hasn’t given me any problems since.
Ming also took the time to explain basic TCM principles and what might have been wrong with my back in the first place.

Patient with long term ankle pain recovered after 1 session
No need to follow up for potential surgery after treatment
I had a sudden knee pain and couldn’t stretch my left leg to walk.
However, Physician Yuan Ming ensured that it is safe to treat me and requested that I go to A&E for the necessary scans before he could proceed with the TCM treatment. He also didn't charge anything for the preliminary diagnosis.
He is truly a good physician at heart!
Importantly, my knee is getting better after his treatments, without the need to follow up with the hospital for a potential scope surgery.
Phyophyo (Google)
Patient with a knee injury, recovered after 5 sessions
Accurate diagnosis
I started to have restricted movement for my left arm since early last year.
No proper diagnosis was given to me till I saw Physician Yuan Ming in last November and he was able to accurately diagnose my condition as frozen shoulder.
After receiving his 5 treatments, my arm movement is less restricted and I’m able to stretch my left hand to the back now.
Highly recommending his treatment. Thumbs up, Physician Yuan Ming!!

Significant difference
I had a wonderful experience with physician Yuan Ming who helped me to recover remarkably well.
He was incredibly patient, dedicated, and responsive throughout the treatment process.
His personalised approach made a significant difference in my healing journey.
I highly recommend his services!
