Catherine O’Brien

Catherine graduated with a bachelors of physiotherapy from University College Dublin, Ireland. She has been working in Singapore for the last 7 years and is a member of the Allied Health Professionals Council (Singapore) and the Irish Society of Chartered Physiotherapists.

Catherine takes a patient centred approach and has developed effective assessment and treatment strategies from several years of experience working in Singapore’s private practice sector. She has established herself in treating a range of musculoskeletal injuries across all ages and works closely with general practitioners and orthopaedic surgeons to achieve optimal outcomes for her patients.

She is a certified level 1 and 2 dry needling therapist, polestar pilates certified instructor and certified yoga teacher. She uses this experience along with a combination of tailored exercise therapy, manual therapy and other modalities to target the root cause of an individual’s pain and dysfunction with the goal of fostering long-term health and well being for those under her care.

Catherine has garnered considerable experience from her time working in Changi General Hospital where she worked in a diverse range of areas including orthopedics, sports medicine, intensive care, cardiology, pulmonary and stroke rehabilitation. She has built her a strong foundational knowledge of various medical conditions affording her the skillset to treat individuals holistically from all walks of life. She has a special interest in vestibular rehabilitation and has undergone intensive training to effectively assess and treat vertigo and other vestibular problems.

Catherine is a strong advocate for the health benefits of exercise, and believes in leading by example. In her free time you can find her HIIT training, on the yoga mat or on a pilates reformer. She also enjoys long distance running and has recently completed a full marathon. She therefore understands the value of optimal movement patterns in preventing and eradicating exercise related injuries.
