ABOUT US
OUR STORY
Tan Hands Physiotherapy in Carlingford grew from my passion for hands-on care. For me, physiotherapy is about truly using my hands – through massage, manual therapy, and mobilisations – to assess you better, help you feel better and get you on your path to recovery faster. This passion led me to establish my clinic in 2009 and build a team of equally dedicated physiotherapists.
Having served the Carlingford community for over two decades, my aim is to provide a welcoming, professional environment where you are truly heard and receive effective, hands-on treatment combined with the latest advancements in clinical practice. My team and I are committed to continuous learning to ensure we offer you expert care for your body.
My passion for truly understanding and helping my patients led me to embrace the ConnectTherapy clinical framework. This approach aligns perfectly with my belief in the body's interconnectedness. By thoroughly assessing how you move and function in your daily life, we can pinpoint the primary factors contributing to your pain or limitations. This comprehensive understanding allows us to provide you with the most effective and personalized care.
We've made it easy to connect with us online, book appointments, and access services like convenient payment through HICAPS for claims with your insurance provider.
And we love to get your feedback and hear your stories. Please feel free to send any feedback (good or bad) directly to me.
Wishing you the best on your path to better health.
Sincerely,
Derek Tan
