Ian Sung

Senior Physiotherapist
"Pain isn't something to fear, it's simply information. The key is understanding it, managing it, and using movement as a tool for recovery."

Ian believes that true recovery goes beyond just relieving pain, it’s about identifying the root cause, optimising movement, and building long-term resilience. His approach combines advanced assessments, precise manual therapy, and functional movement training to create personalised treatment plans that address each client’s unique needs. Rather than relying on quick fixes, he focuses on sustainable recovery strategies that empower clients to regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their bodies.

This philosophy aligns seamlessly with TSquared Physio’s commitment to science-backed, movement-driven, and highly personalised care. By integrating the latest research with a deep understanding of biomechanics, Ian ensures that every client receives a tailored plan designed for lasting results, not just temporary relief.

Ian takes a detailed, client-focused approach to treatment

Ian takes a detailed, client-focused approach to treatment, ensuring that each plan is tailored to the individual's unique needs. He believes that asking the right questions and paying close attention to small details is key to understanding the root cause of symptoms. By carefully assessing a client’s movement patterns, symptom behavior, and lifestyle factors, he identifies the underlying issues rather than just addressing surface-level pain. Ian also emphasises educating clients on their recovery options, helping them choose between a quick but temporary fix or a slower, more sustainable long-term solution.

Be Moved By The Inspiring Transformations Of Our Clients

Achieve your goals, become your best self.

Jac

After months of persistent sciatic pain and being repeatedly told that surgery might be the only solution, Jac’s recovery journey became one of patience, education, and rebuilding trust in movement. Through structured physiotherapy focused on spinal stability, mobility, and understanding pain, she gradually regained control over her body and daily life. What once felt limiting and uncertain slowly transformed into confidence, allowing her to move, work, and live with far less fear and discomfort.

Jac says and we quote, “With the right guidance and consistency, I went from struggling with constant pain to finally moving freely and confidently again.”

Virginia

For Virginia, recovery became about far more than simply reducing pain, it was about understanding her body and regaining control over how she moved and lived each day. After struggling with chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain that eventually led to numbness in her fingers, physiotherapy helped her shift from fear and uncertainty to confidence and self-management. Through consistent rehabilitation, movement awareness, and guided strengthening, she was able to return to sleeping comfortably, caring for her child, and moving through daily life with far greater ease and control.

Virginia says and we quote, “I realised recovery was not just about getting rid of the pain, it was about learning how to manage my body with confidence again.”

Hayley

After living with chronic ITB syndrome for more than two years, Hayley’s recovery journey became about far more than just reducing knee pain. Through a deeper understanding of posture, movement patterns, and core control, she gradually rebuilt strength, stability, and confidence in her body. What once felt like a recurring limitation evolved into a long-term transformation, allowing her to return to lifting, training, and movement without constantly fearing re-injury.

Hayley says and we quote: “When I realised I could move, squat, and train again without fear or discomfort, that’s when I knew my body was finally recovering.”

Maria

Maria’s recovery journey was not just about healing a knee injury, it was about rebuilding confidence in movement after months of fear, uncertainty, and limitation. What initially felt like an inevitable path toward surgery gradually transformed through structured physiotherapy, movement awareness, and progressive strength training. As she began to better understand how her body moved, she regained not only mobility and physical strength, but also the confidence to return to training and daily life without fear.

Maria says, and we quote, “After three weeks, the snap was gone. I could train again. I felt strong. I felt confident.”

Chang Yi

After years of intense athletic training and relying on temporary fixes, Chang Yi found lasting relief at TSquared Physio.

Under Ian’s holistic guidance, which included dry needling, manual therapy, and corrective exercises, Chang Yi addressed the root causes of his pain, improved his posture, and gradually returned to pain-free movement.

Chang Yi says and we quote, “It’s a very, very different experience; the treatment was very targeted and helpful as Ian aligned it with my goals as well because I didn’t just want to be pain-free. I wanted to get back into my sport.”

Annabelle

Annabelle, a dedicated professional, was training intensively for dragon boating when wrist pain and back stiffness began to interfere. Initially, she hesitated to get help. Like many athletes, she worried that a professional might simply tell her to stop.

Eventually, she reached out to Ian at TSquared Physio. She wasn’t just looking for pain relief; she needed a way to stay active while addressing the root of her symptoms.

Annabelle says, and we quote,“He worked with me, not against me,” she said. “There were tweaks to my technique, my warm-up, even how I braced in the boat, but I could still train.” This flexibility helped her feel empowered, not restricted.

Vincent

"I learned that pain doesn’t always mean damage. And strength isn’t just about muscle, it’s about control, awareness, and adaptability."

Three years after surgery, Vincent’s pain returned, only different. This time, there was no backache. Instead, a deep, electric pain radiated from his glute into his legs. It was sciatica, triggered by the re-herniation of the same discs. That's when he made physiotherapy his lifeline and started working with Ian at TSquared Physio.

Vincent says, and we quote, “I’m not chasing pain relief anymore. I’m chasing capacity, the ability to live fully, with confidence in how I move.”
