About AMP Lab
AMP Lab started in 2009 and is among the first few to offer preventive health and conservative treatments. The treatments or interventions are administered by either an exercise physiologist, a sports scientist, or a physiotherapist in Singapore, depending on the client’s needs. Or, they could be administered by more than one practitioner under a single pathway.
Our mission is to get you moving and living life to the fullest. And we believe that we can do this through prescribing the right exercises and conservative treatments. Every client will be supported by a specialist on their health and fitness journey for the best outcome.
Attitude, Mind, and Performance
At AMP Lab, AMP stands for Attitude, Mind, and Performance—but more importantly, it reflects how we believe real, lasting health is built.
It starts with Attitude. Most people don’t struggle because they don’t know what to do—they struggle with getting started or staying consistent. Whether it’s finding time to exercise, managing pain, or simply taking better care of yourself, it begins with the decision to show up. As practitioners, we don’t just treat—we help you build that mindset, step by step.
Then comes the Mind. This is about becoming more aware of your body—how you move, how you feel, and what your body is telling you. Instead of blindly following exercises, we help you understand why you’re doing them. This makes your training and recovery more intentional, and far more effective.
Finally, Performance is the result. Better strength, smoother movement, less pain—these are not rushed outcomes, but natural progressions when attitude and awareness are in place.
What makes AMP Lab different is that we see you as more than just an injury or a session. We guide you to build habits, confidence, and understanding—so you don’t just feel better for now, but stay healthier for the long run.

Kiki Ruan
Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) Practitioner / ScarWork Therapist
Kiki is an Anatomy Trains Structural Integration (ATSI) practitioner and ScarWork therapist.
Her work focuses on the fascial network, addressing how patterns of tension, compensation, and restriction develop across the body rather than at a single point of discomfort. Where appropriate, she incorporates ScarWork to support the integration of scar tissue and its impact on mobility and overall function.
She works with individuals experiencing postural strain, recurring discomfort, movement restriction, and residual tension or scar-related limitations following injury, supporting improvements in movement, coordination, and the body’s ability to adapt to load.
Her sessions are structured and collaborative, helping clients better understand their body and how it changes over time.
