“I went to milestone just over a month ago to deal with shoulder pain I had been having due to dragonboating. I was fortunate enough to have Timothy as my physio, he's a great guy, really easy to have a chat with, and he really knows his stuff. I've had 4 sessions so far and my shoulder hasn't had pain or been in discomfort since. I would definitely recommend milestone and would absolutely recommend physio Timothy if you do need a physio.”

“Nice location with great space within. No claustrophobic consultation/manipulation in a cramp room. Timothy Lau is great physio. He listens attentively and observes in great details to make sure that my issues are fully understood. What is of greater worth is that Timothy ensures that I can fully perform the assigned home exercises (without undue discomforts) and that, when needed, he will explore alternatives that better suit my individual limitations. He also gave me pointers on how taping can support my sporting interests (Bonus!!). It is assuring that he also checked in on my before my next appointment just to make sure that everything is on track. That is the whole reason I choose physiotherapy--a healthy continuation of an active lifestyle.”

“I've known Timothy for about a year now. He is patient, reassuring and actively listens when I share my concerns. He does not jump the gun and instead tries to find out the root cause of the injury or discomfort before he shares his suggestions for treatment. Would recommend him if you're looking for someone for your rehab treatment.”

“I have been going to Milestone Physio, seeing Timothy for a few sessions now., I have had pain on my neck for a while. Firstly, Timothy managed to immediately tell me the pain came from the neck & not shoulder . I was unsure for a long while. He read my MRI report, checked on my shoulder & knew immediately it was my neck. I am truly pleased as that was never confirmed by my past physiotherapist. The exercises he gave me helped me a lot. The pain is not there now. Timothy is now treating my shoulder which I had hurt during a gym class. I feel very comfortable with Timothy & trust him to help me. I am glad to have found a new physio to help me. Thank you Timothy . 🙏”
