Osteocare

Osteocare is your modern lifestyle health partner. It was your local corner healing centre founded on principals of traditional “tit tar” treatment which over time evolved with the influence and introduction of new techniques, technology, skills and knowledge into your modern lifestyle health partner. Historically “tit tar halls” worked alongside martial arts centres catering to the injuries and broken bones associated a life of extreme martial arts. Today, Osteocare caters to injuries from active lifestyles such as sports injuries, modern travel such as whiplash from car accidents and even injuries from the more sedentary working lifestyles such as stiff necks and back aches. A modern lifestyle health partner helping patients traverse modern life with more ease and less chronic pain.

While many current modern and traditional healing centres have split into various specialisations such as acupuncture, cupping, reflexology, kinesiology, chiropractic and physiotherapy, Osteocare has embraced new knowledge and sought solutions fit for purpose.

Osteocare offers in many cases, a viable non surgical and non invasive treatment alternatives for its patients. Osteocare is supported not just by a single experienced founder Shifu Erik Leong but also by a team of experienced and qualified practitioners. Spread across 3 outlets (as at the time of print), the team attends to a host of patient needs. A sizable team enables Osteocare to provide different price points depending on the skill level or depth of knowledge required to treat a particular injury. The team is trained inhouse personally by the founder although many team members hold external qualifications in various associated fields such as physiotherapy and acupuncture. The training is ongoing and continuously updated with the founder having to separately open a School of Bone Setting (which has government recognition and international collegiate accreditation) to cater to the ongoing training commitments. The founder has also developed his own wellness program which involves among many treatments, general body alignment which help patients and victims of modern sedentary lifestyles go through daily life with less unnecessary chronic pains and aches

The founder is still very hands-on and continues to treat patients personally and allocates his time across the outlets.
Treatments normally span a few follow-up visits to ensure that a treatment course is complete. Very rarely are spot injuries isolated and there tends to be referral pain or issues which manifest later. Treatments are usually accompanied by traditional herbal poultices to ease pain and speed up recovery.

Osteocare has over 20 years supporting its community and has established its credibility, proven track record and reputation as a local backbone centre of healing. As lifestyles change, Osteocare has positioned itself as your modern lifestyle health partner.

Origin Story

At the turn of the century and the beginning of a new millennium, while many were fearful of the “Y2k”, the founder Shifu Erik Leong launched his new vision. A vision of being a local community health provider grounded on traditional tit tar, expanded by incorporating influences and skills sets from other complimentary therapies as Japanese shiatsu, Thai Wat Poh, western Kinesiology, Chiropractic and Physiotherapy as well as Chinese traditional therapies such as cupping, guasha and acupressure.

It is common to see an Osteocare therapist reading a patient Xray or MRI scan on the lightboard as all clinics are updated with for the use of modern diagnostic tools. It is just as commonplace to see patients in crutches and various body parts in slings and casts having come from hospital for further treatment and fine tuning. Particularly with bone setting, it is a firm belief that with the deep insight on bone structure and connectivity from traditional tit tar, Osteocare has a strong track record of a more comprehensive and speedier recovery aided with the application of traditional herbal poultices.

Treatments at Osteocare has transitioned from traditional strains, sprains and broken bones from extreme martial arts to injuries from active lifestyles such as sports injuries, modern travel such as whiplash from car accidents and even injuries from the more sedentary working lifestyles such as stiff necks and back aches. The founder has also developed his own proprietary general wellness and alignment treatment which is a preventative and health maintenance type of treatment specifically to help patients traverse modern life with more ease and less chronic pain.

Key to a successful health provider is to be available at the point of need and at the time of need. Osteocare has (at the time of print) 4 clinics located in key residential areas to serve the local community. It is supported by several therapists at each location with various levels of experience and depths of knowledge. A sizable team enables Osteocare to provide different price points depending on the skill level or depth of knowledge required to treat a particular injury on a timely basis. Many of the therapists hold external qualifications in various associated fields such as physiotherapy and acupressure. All therapists are personally trained by the founder.

Such is the commitment to provide trained and experienced therapists that Shifu Erik also founded an independent School of Bone Setting. The School has government recognition as well as various international collegiate accreditation. It provides up to advanced diploma level formal awards and is an appointed centre for Warnborough College UK, West Australian Institute of Further Studies, the Australian Institute of Workplace Training and Lincoln University College. In a short time, the School trained more than a hundred students and alumni range from local graduates, neighboring Indonesia and Singapore to Hong Kong, India, Australia and New Zealand as well as the UK, USA and Europe. With the international alumni from the School, Osteocare has a footprint on most major continents.

Inasmuch as Osteocare humbly sought to be a resource for the local community, patients come from far and wide and from all backgrounds and echelons of society. From local neighborhood and interstate residents to international patients who fly in especially for consultation and treatment from Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Middle East, Europe, the USA and UK. Many a local community or religious leader, local and international celebrity, business leader, athlete and member of the royal families count themselves as satisfied patients of Osteocare. Osteocare is also one of the panel physicians for several local state and national sports teams.

Facilitated by continuous updating and upskilling from the School of Bone setting, Osteocare seeks to entrench itself as the modern lifestyle health partner staying relevant and evolving with the changing community lifestyles and requirement.
