Hi there! I’m Shoban, and I have been a physiotherapist for over 12 years, all of which I have spent working in Singapore. I graduated from King’s College London in 2012 and made the decision to move from London to Singapore to start my career. It was a bit of a crazy idea, but it turned out to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.
I began working at Changi General Hospital before transitioning into private practice in 2015, where I have worked in several different clinics. In 2020, I co-founded my own clinic and grew it into a thriving multidisciplinary musculoskeletal and return to sports centre. I recently stepped away from that business venture because I realised my true passion lies in working directly with patients.
I am particularly interested in treating hips, knees and ankles, and I am incredibly passionate about helping amateur and professional footballers get back to the game. I firmly believe that there is a version of football for everyone, regardless of age, injury or circumstance, and I am here to help you keep playing. It genuinely concerns me when patients feel they need to give up the game due to injuries or age because I know there is a way for everyone to continue enjoying football.
“Excellence is not a singular act, but a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.”
My experience as a football physiotherapist is extensive. I have worked with Hougang United in the SPL and AFC from 2022-2024, and I am currently with Tampines Rovers as their lead physiotherapist since 2024. My role involves caring for injured players, covering training, and being one of the guys who runs onto the pitch during match days if a player goes down.
Beyond the realms of work, I am a dad to an active toddler who keeps me on my toes. When I am not spending time with my family or playing football, you can find me enjoying anything football-related—whether it’s FM, FPL, or catching up on the latest Fantasy or Science Fiction books.
