Our Story

NovaHealth TCM began in 2015 as a single clinic with a clear vision: to combine the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with modern technology. From our humble beginnings in Singapore, we set out to provide safe, effective, and personalized healing rooted in centuries of tradition.

Today, NovaHealth TCM has expanded to 10 branches across Singapore, a milestone made possible by the trust and support of our patients. This growth reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and our commitment to raising the standard of care in the TCM industry.

As Singapore’s population continues to age, the demand for quality healthcare is rising. However, in many developed countries, there is a shortage of qualified therapists. We saw this challenge not as a limitation, but as an opportunity to rethink how care is delivered.

This led to the introduction of EMMA, which stands for Expert Manipulative Massage Automation. EMMA is an intelligent robotic Tuina system that delivers deep tissue therapy with precise pressure and consistent technique. It has become the signature feature of NovaHealth clinics and a core part of our treatment approach.

EMMA is supported by scientific research and was featured in a Mayo Clinic-affiliated clinical study that explored its effectiveness in enhancing musculoskeletal recovery. You can find the study here: PubMed ID: 37698255.

At NovaHealth TCM, we believe that technology and Traditional Chinese Medicine should work together to improve health outcomes. We use innovation to enhance, not replace, the human touch. Every patient deserves access to treatments that are not only grounded in tradition but also supported by science.

Looking ahead, our goal is to lead the way in TCM innovation in Singapore. By blending natural healing methods with cutting-edge technology, we help our patients move better, feel better, and live healthier lives.
