Be careful of this sinseh in tampines street 32 market… i strained my neck from bad sleeping posture… he say i pulled my shoulder… did tuina, followed by cupping, then guasha and ended with accupuncture on the whole back… total bill was $221 for 1.5hr treatment with a bottle of cream and meds (5 pkts of powder

I bought 2 packages (massage & acupuncture) from this clinic mid last year because i injured my hand. The acupuncture cost me $220 per session.

Some elderly Singaporeans are taking matters into their own hands, in their bid to get Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM, covered under Pioneer Generation Package (PGP) subsidies. In a written parliamentary reply earlier this month, Health Minister Gan Kim Yong described TCM as a form of "complementary medicine", and said the subsidies would not apply at TCM clinics. About 20 elderly Singaporeans have, however, signed and handed in a petition to MP for Marine Parade GRC, Tin Pei Ling, whom they hope will push their cause. Under the PGP, pioneers who visit general practitioners (GPs) on the Community and Health Assist (CHAS) scheme will get subsidies, and this could be for ailments ranging from the common cold to chronic conditions.
