1. Chemistry and Teamwork
Talk about chemistry and team work. Physio & Sole Clinic’s Physiotherapist Wesley Chee and Podiatrist Fiona Hu were colleagues in Changi General Hospital. The joy, laughter and frustration(sometimes) of working together has gone some way back. The familiarity with their working styles have served them well at the clinic with constant discussions on how to better serve the patients happening almost on a daily basis!

And, did you know the founders of Physio & Sole Clinic, Wesley Chee (Chief Physiotherapist) and Fiona Hu (Chief Podiatrist) are married with 2 kids?
The two were colleagues at a local hospital before deciding to venture into private practice. It was also because of the professional interactions they had (and still having) that they conceived the idea of combining the expertise of both professions in the treatment of their patients. This approach has since rubbed off onto the rest of the team at Physio & Sole Clinic.
2. Champion Sportsman

Wesley Chee is a true blue sportsman. His resilience and go-getter mentality stems from his training as a competitive canoeist during his younger days. He has since retired from competitive kayaking after deciding to be a Sports Physiotherapist. Wesley used to be an Under-19 kayaking champion and had finished 4th at the National Canoeing Championships(2002).
Wesley also represented his school in badminton. When he worked in a local hospital, he would take part in the badminton competition at the annual sports meet. He was the defending mixed doubles champion for several years.
3. First Local Podiatry Practice
Fiona Hu is the first Singaporean Podiatrist to start a private practice. Before Physio & Sole Clinic started, all other podiatry practices in Singapore were foreign owned. Fiona strongly believes in grooming and growing the local podiatry community. She has served as an active member of the Podiatry Association of Singapore and was the youngest serving president of the association (2013-2015).
4. Highly Specialised Physiotherapists
Wesley belongs to a rare breed of physiotherapists who are highly specialised in the treatment of pain arising from bones, muscles and joints (musculoskeletal issues). He is trained in post-graduate programmes from Australia. The difference between these programmes as compared to entry level physiotherapy programmes is that they are taught advance assessment and treatment skills, and are rigorously trained to ensure patients recover faster, better and safer.
5. Gatekeeper Of The Profession
Wesley has set strict and high standards in the way he practises physiotherapy. He is always seen reading up scientific evidence to keep himself abreast of the latest developments in treatment methods. Given his dedication to keep standards high within the profession, Wesley is also passionate about making quality physiotherapy care accessible to more patients, ensuring they receive effective, evidence-based treatment that supports long-term recovery and wellbeing.
