Love your food? Not a gym person? Tried dieting before?

Good. Let’s start where you are.

Managing your weight does not have to mean becoming a gym enthusiast, following an unrealistic diet or signing up for an expensive slimming package.

At The Pain Relief Clinic, we provide practical, doctor-led Medical Weight Management designed around your health, lifestyle and real-life limitations.

Whether you are new to medical weight management or already receiving treatment elsewhere, start with a medical consultation to understand the options that may be appropriate for you.

A Medical Clinic, Not a Slimming Centre

Our approach starts with your health.

We are not here to promise a particular number of kilograms lost or sell everybody the same expensive slimming package.

Instead, we start by asking:

Where are you now?

What have you already tried?

What makes managing your weight difficult?

Are hunger or food habits getting in the way?

Do pain or physical limitations make exercise difficult?

What medically appropriate options are available to you?

Then we work with you to develop a practical way forward.

“Just Eat Less and Exercise More.”

If it were always that simple, weight management would be easy.

Most people already know that nutrition and physical activity matter.

Knowing what to do and actually being able to do it consistently are very different things.

Perhaps you:

• Love your food
• Eat out frequently
• Work long hours
• Struggle with hunger or appetite
• Don’t like gyms
• Have little time to exercise
• Have tried dieting repeatedly
• Find restrictive diets difficult to maintain
• Have knee or back pain when exercising
• Have an old injury
• Have previously lost weight and regained it

Different people struggle for different reasons.

That’s why we start with a different question:

What is making healthy weight difficult for you?

---

Start With a Doctor

Medical Weight Management at The Pain Relief Clinic starts with an assessment by a licensed medical doctor.

Your consultation may include discussion of:

• Your current weight and weight history
• BMI and relevant health indicators
• Previous weight-management attempts
• Eating and lifestyle patterns
• Hunger and appetite
• Current physical activity
• Current medications
• Relevant medical history
• Knee, back or other physical limitations
• Previous medical weight-management treatment
• Your personal health and weight-management goals

The objective is not simply to tell you to “lose weight.”

It is to understand why managing your weight has been difficult and what reasonable options may be appropriate for you.

---

Medical Weight Management Has Changed

Nutrition and physical activity remain important foundations of long-term health.

But medical weight management is no longer necessarily limited to giving everybody the same advice to “eat less and exercise more.”

For suitable patients, there are prescription medical treatment options that a doctor may consider as part of an overall weight-management plan.

At The Pain Relief Clinic, your doctor can assess whether medical treatment is appropriate for you and discuss its potential benefits, limitations, risks and alternatives.

Prescription treatment is not appropriate or necessary for everybody.

Treatment is prescribed only following individual medical assessment.

---

What Is Included From S$288/Month?*

For qualifying Medical Weight Management plans, the monthly programme includes:

Doctor Management

Medical assessment and appropriate ongoing monitoring by our doctor.

Prescribed Oral Weight-Management Medication*

For qualifying patients, prescribed oral weight-management medication is included within the advertised starting monthly programme price.

There is no need to pay the programme fee and then discover that qualifying oral medication is an additional monthly charge.

Treatment choice and dose remain subject to medical assessment and may affect pricing.

Lifestyle Guidance

Practical advice designed around your existing lifestyle rather than expecting you to completely change your life overnight.

Access to In-House Physiotherapy

If knee pain, back pain, previous injury or physical limitations make activity difficult, our physiotherapy team is available where appropriate.

Additional Options

Depending on your individual needs, additional services such as DEXA body-composition assessment, nutritional counselling, physiotherapy and investigations can also be considered.

---

Why Is The Pain Relief Clinic Helping People Manage Their Weight?

It’s a reasonable question.

For years, we have seen patients being advised:

“Lose some weight.”

“Exercise more.”

“Walk more.”

“Strengthen your muscles.”

These may be sensible recommendations.

But there can be an obvious problem.

What if your knees hurt when you exercise?

What if your back aches when you walk?

What if an old injury stops you exercising?

What if strenuous exercise simply isn’t realistic for you right now?

This can create a frustrating cycle:

Pain or physical limitation

↓

Less movement

↓

Reduced physical activity

↓

Managing weight becomes more difficult

↓

Getting active becomes harder

↓

Even less movement

Simply telling somebody to “exercise more” does not necessarily solve the problem.

At The Pain Relief Clinic, we can consider both sides of the equation.

---

Knee or Back Pain Making Exercise Difficult?

This is one area where receiving weight-management care at The Pain Relief Clinic can be particularly useful.

We have an in-house physiotherapy team that can work alongside the doctor when physical limitations interfere with your ability to exercise.

Depending on your needs, physiotherapy may help with:

• Knee or back problems affecting activity
• Previous injuries
• Reduced strength
• Physical deconditioning
• Finding more manageable forms of activity
• Progressive strengthening
• Improving confidence with movement
• Building exercise around your current capabilities

You do not automatically need physiotherapy because you are managing your weight.

It is simply another tool available when it adds value to your individual programme.

---

Don’t Like the Gym?

That’s okay.

Exercise has important benefits for health, fitness, muscle and long-term weight management.

But you do not have to suddenly become someone who loves strenuous workouts.

There are many ways to become more active.

For some people, the starting point may simply be increasing everyday movement.

For others, lower-impact activities may be more appropriate.

And for someone with knee, back or other musculoskeletal limitations, physiotherapy-guided activity may help identify more manageable alternatives.

Start with what you can realistically do.

Not what social media says you should be doing.

---

Love Your Food?

We are not here to tell you never to enjoy it again.

Long-term health changes need to work in the real world.

Your management may include practical discussion around:

• Food choices
• Portion awareness
• Eating patterns
• Eating out
• Meal planning
• Protein and nutritional adequacy
• Hunger and appetite
• Sleep
• Daily routines
• Sustainable lifestyle changes

Where useful, additional nutritional counselling or structured nutritional support can also be considered.

The objective is not to create the perfect diet.

It is to find an approach you can realistically live with.

---

Know More Than Your Weight

Your weighing scale tells you how much you weigh.

It does not tell you everything about your body.

Where appropriate, DEXA or other body-composition assessment may provide additional information about factors such as fat mass and lean mass.

This can help establish a baseline and may be useful for monitoring changes in body composition.

Your doctor can advise whether body-composition assessment would add useful information in your individual situation.

---

Weight Management Shouldn’t Just Be About Losing Kilograms

A smaller number on the weighing scale is not the only consideration.

Depending on the individual, broader goals may include:

• Improving body composition
• Maintaining muscle
• Becoming more physically active
• Improving strength and physical function
• Reducing barriers to movement
• Improving lifestyle habits
• Managing weight-related health risks
• Developing habits that are more sustainable
• Maintaining progress over the longer term

Your appropriate goals depend on your individual circumstances.

---

New to Medical Weight Management?

Start where you are.

You don’t have to start dieting before seeing us.

Come as you are.

Your doctor can assess your health, understand what you have struggled with and discuss the options that may be appropriate for you.

FROM S$288 / MONTH*

Doctor-managed programme with qualifying prescribed oral weight-management medication included.

Already Receiving Weight-Management Treatment Elsewhere?

Looking for another option for your ongoing care?

You are welcome to consult us too.

Perhaps you already understand medical weight management.

Perhaps you have been receiving treatment for several months.

Perhaps your current programme has become expensive.

Or perhaps you would simply like another doctor to review your ongoing management.

Bring along information about your current treatment where available, including:

• Current prescription or medication information
• Current dose
• Previous doses
• Relevant blood-test results
• Previous investigations
• Treatment history
• Side effects or concerns
• Your progress so far

Our doctor can review your current situation and discuss appropriate ongoing management.

There is no automatic continuation of any particular medication or dose. Treatment remains subject to individual medical assessment.

The advertised “from S$288/month” price applies to qualifying oral Medical Weight Management plans. Prescription medication is supplied only where clinically appropriate following consultation and assessment by a licensed medical doctor.

Treatment choice and dose are determined by the doctor and may affect pricing. The advertised starting price should not be interpreted as guaranteeing a particular medication, treatment or dose.

DEXA, physiotherapy, nutritional counselling, investigations and other additional services may incur separate charges unless expressly stated as included.
