Lee Si Hooi
Senior Physiotherapist
Ms. Lee Si Hooi graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy with Honours (Distinction) from the National University of Malaysia in 2013. She is an AHPC-registered physiotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience across public and private hospitals, outpatient clinics, and home-based rehabilitation settings in Singapore.
Si Hooi began her career at National University Hospital (NUH), where she gained extensive experience in cardiac rehabilitation, pulmonary and vascular rehabilitation, critical care, and the management of patients with complex medical conditions. She also completed clinical rotations in geriatric and neurological rehabilitation.
She subsequently worked as a Senior Physiotherapist at Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital and Heart and Lung Physio Clinic, providing rehabilitation for patients across hospital, outpatient and home-based settings.
Her key areas of clinical experience include:
- Geriatric Rehabilitation: Helping older adults with frailty, reduced mobility, muscle weakness and physical deconditioning improve their strength, balance and functional independence.
- Post-Hospitalisation and Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Supporting patients in regaining mobility, strength and confidence following surgery, prolonged hospitalisation or a period of reduced activity.
- Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation: Providing rehabilitation for patients with heart and respiratory conditions, including exercise conditioning, breathing exercises and chest physiotherapy.
- Neurological Rehabilitation: Managing patients with neurological conditions, including stroke, with a focus on improving mobility and daily function.
- Chronic Disease Management: Supporting individuals with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease through appropriate exercise and rehabilitation.
With her extensive hospital experience, Si Hooi understands the challenges faced by elderly patients and individuals with multiple medical conditions, particularly during the transition from hospital to home.
In the home rehabilitation setting, her approach focuses on helping patients regain practical abilities that matter in everyday life, such as getting out of bed, walking safely around the house, transferring independently and improving their overall mobility.
Her rehabilitation approach emphasises individualised exercise programmes, patient safety and functional recovery, with the aim of helping patients maintain their independence and quality of life within their own homes.
Si Hooi is proficient in English, Mandarin and Malay, and can also communicate in Hokkien, Cantonese and Teochew, allowing her to communicate effectively with elderly patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
