Manual Therapy (Bodywork)

Complementary and supportive — alongside physiotherapy and your medical care, rather than instead of it. Not a sequence, so start wherever your body is asking.

Craniosacral Therapy Help the nervous system find its way down.

Craniosacral Therapy & Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a therapy that stems from Osteopathy. It is a gentle and deeply restorative form of bodywork that uses light touch and subtle fascial techniques to support your central nervous system and your body’s innate ability to balance, restore and heal. These sessions are non-invasive and work in tandem with your body’s natural intelligence to help you regulate and self-repair.

Craniosacral Therapy & BCST is a complementary adjunct to physiotherapy. Sessions are fully clothed on the treatment table. You may request the presence of someone you trust should you need additional support or assistance.

Lymphatic Drainage Move what has become stagnant.

Lymphatic Drainage or MLD (Manual Lymphatic Drainage Massage) is a therapeutic method that involves a gentle, rhythmic massage designed to stimulate the lymphatic vessels and naturally encourage the flow of lymph fluid. By encouraging the natural flow of lymph, this therapy helps reduce swelling, inflammation, toxic load and tension, while promoting overall circulatory and nervous system health.

The lymphatic system is the body’s second circulatory system, made up of lymph vessels, similar to the veins and capillaries of the circulatory system. These lymph vessels are connected to lymph nodes, where the lymph fluid — a clear fluid that contains infection-fighting white blood cells throughout the body — is filtered.

Lymphatic drainage can complement post-surgery recovery, injury rehabilitation, stress relief, and wellness maintenance, promoting whole-body balance and vitality.

Techniques integrated into these sessions

Visceral Manipulation Working with the organs and their fascial attachments.

An integrative approach from the Barral Method that looks at the structural relationships between the viscera (our organs) and their fascial or ligamentous attachments to the musculoskeletal system. It is an organ-specific fascial mobilisation technique, based on the premise that free movement within the body is vital, and that any restriction will adversely affect health.

Myofascial Release Releasing tension patterns held in the fascia.

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on therapy that targets the fascia — the connective tissue that surrounds and links muscles, bones, nerves and organs throughout the body. Unlike traditional massage, which works primarily on muscles, MFR focuses on tension patterns within the fascial system, helping restore mobility, alignment and functional movement.

Manual therapy works best alongside rehabilitation rather than in place of it, and it complements medical care you may already be receiving. Our physiotherapists and psychotherapists also work alongside one another, so nothing gets treated in isolation.

Rehabilitation & Movement

Figuring out what your body needs

Depending on where you are in your healing journey, different approaches may be needed to support your body and mind. At Soma Haus, we combine top-down and bottom-up methods to help you reconnect, regulate, and restore well-being.

Top-Down Approaches engage the cognitive brain to influence emotions and behaviour. This includes psychotherapy, counselling, and mindfulness practices. Research shows that techniques like these can rewire neural pathways for emotional regulation, stress reduction, and trauma processing (Siegel, 2012; Garland et al., 2015). Top-down work helps you understand patterns, gain insight, and consciously process experiences.

Bottom-Up Approaches work directly with the body, the sensations and your nervous system to influence mental and emotional states. Modalities such as manual therapies, somatic movement, craniosacral therapy, and nervous system regulation help release stored tension, improve circulation, and restore functional movement (Levine, 2010; Ogden et al., 2006).

Physiotherapy

Unlike conventional physiotherapy, our sessions integrate different manual therapies and movement science with an understanding of how the body holds experiences and adapts to stress. This means your treatment isn’t just about rehabilitation - it’s about restoring balance, building resilience, and creating safety in your body.

By addressing the nervous system alongside physical recovery, we help you release tension at its root, improve mobility with confidence, and support long-term healing that feels sustainable and empowering.

MANUAL THERAPIES & REMEDIAL BODYWORK

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release (MFR) is a hands-on therapy that targets the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and links muscles, bones, nerves, and organs throughout the body. Unlike traditional massage that primarily works on muscles, MFR focuses on tension patterns within the fascial system, helping to restore mobility, alignment, and functional movement.

Our fascia is organised in a specific way that transmits tension and movement patterns across the body. Restrictionss or adhesions in one area of a line can create pain or limited movement in distant regions, explaining why discomfort is often felt far from the source. By addressing the whole fascial network, myofascial release works not only locally but systemically, helping the body reorganise and move more efficiently, reduce pain, and restore balance.

Visceral Manipulation

This is an integrative approach from the Barral Method that looks at the structural relationships between the viscera (our organs), and their fascial or ligamentous attachments to the musculoskeletal system. It is an organ-specific fascial mobilisation technique that is based on the premise that free movement within the body is vital, and thus any restriction will adversely affect health.

The goal of Visceral Manipulation is to help the person's body return to normal function and thereby remove compensatory symptoms, whatever their source, leading to improved health and optimal body functioning.

Explore Counselling and Psychotherapy for Mental & Emotional Health

It’s important to note that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all approach. A holistic approach may include a combination of body-based therapy, mental health approaches, as well as alternative approaches such as sound bath meditation, breathwork, yoga and more. By working collaboratively with a therapist, individuals can feel empowered to take an active role in their overall well-being.

Common Conditions We Work With

At Soma Haus, we support individuals dealing with a wide range of health concerns. Using our multidisciplinary and somatic approach that works alongside conventional treatment models to support clients in addressing untreated or overlooked symptoms and accessing the deeper layers of health and well-being.

Questions people ask us

If yours isn't here, ask — there's no question too small, and nothing you're expected to know in advance.

How much does physiotherapy cost in Singapore?

At Soma Haus, physiotherapy is $250 for a 50-minute session at our Joo Chiat and Tanjong Pagar clinics. Craniosacral therapy starts at $130 for a 50-minute session, or $160 for a first visit, rising to $200 and $250 with a senior practitioner. Remedial bodywork and lymphatic drainage are $180 (75 minutes) or $220 (90 minutes). A sliding scale is available on individual sessions for anyone who needs it.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist?

No. In Singapore you can book private physiotherapy directly, without a referral, and that includes booking with us. A referral is only needed for subsidised treatment at a public hospital. If a doctor has already referred you, or you've had scans or reports done, bring them along — they give your physiotherapist a useful head start.

What is the difference between physiotherapy and craniosacral therapy?

Physiotherapy is a licensed, science-based profession that uses assessment, hands-on treatment and exercise to restore movement and function. Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, fully clothed form of bodywork rooted in osteopathy that works with the nervous system. At Soma Haus, craniosacral therapy is offered as a complementary adjunct to physiotherapy rather than a replacement for it. More on what craniosacral therapy involves.

What happens in a first session?

A first physiotherapy session begins with an assessment — how you move, what hurts, and what your body has been compensating for. First craniosacral visits are 75 minutes rather than 50, to allow time for a fuller consultation. Sessions take place fully clothed on a treatment table, and you may ask for someone you trust to be present.

Is craniosacral therapy supported by evidence?

The evidence base is limited and mixed. Some studies suggest it may help with certain chronic pain conditions and with the experience of stress, but they are generally small, and some of the mechanisms proposed by the modality's early founders are not well supported by current research. We offer it as complementary work alongside physiotherapy, and we would rather say that plainly than overstate it. We go into the research in more detail here.

Can I claim physiotherapy on insurance or MediSave?

MediSave does not generally cover outpatient physiotherapy at a private clinic. Some private insurance plans and corporate health benefits do, often depending on whether treatment follows an accident, surgery or a doctor's referral. We can provide an itemised receipt to support a claim — it's worth checking the specifics with your insurer before your first session.

How many sessions will I need?

That depends on what you're working with, and it's something your physiotherapist will talk through with you after the first assessment rather than promise beforehand. People working with long-held chronic pain often find a course of sessions more useful than a single visit, which is why packages are available for clinical Pilates and strength training.

Where are your clinics?

Soma Haus has two locations in Singapore: 281 Joo Chiat Road, Level 3, and Block 7 Tanjong Pagar Plaza, #02-107. Both are open seven days a week by appointment only. Reformer sessions take place at Tanjong Pagar.

Still not sure where to start? Book a discovery call and we'll talk it through — no pressure, no hard sell.
