I would like to thank Prohealth Sports And Spinal for helping me address my lower back pain due to desiccated and bulging disc. My physiotherapist, Cha Mangubat, was really amazing as after just a few sessions with her, the pain on my lower back subsided. She did not just focus on my lower back but to the overall concerns that I have on my shoulders and heel. I did 12 sessions with her and now I can do long drives again without any discomfort. The home flexibility and strengthening exercises she gave me do a lot of wonder in my day to day activities.
Also, there appointment process was a breeze. I constantly get reminders on days before my scheduled therapies. The facility itself was very clean and bright. I am very happy that I chose Sports And Spinal for my therapy. A big thanks again to Cha and to all the staff of Prohealth!

I have had numerous physiotherapy sessions with Cha Mangubat in an effort to overcome severe back issues stemming from bulging discs in both cervical and lumbar spinal sections. It’s been a long and laborious effort but happy to be in a much better condition now and with clear guidance on how to maintain this going forward.
Thank you Cha for your effort in bringing me back to a normal life where I can do things I could do before.
Tell us about your background in Physiotherapy.
I finished my bachelor’s degree in Physical Therapy in the year 2014. I took my Master’s degree 2 years later with a specialization in Neurorehabilitation.
What are your interests?
My current area of interest is spinal manipulation and neuromuscular facilitation.
Tell us about a life-changing experience or adventures you’ve been on.
One of the recent major life changing events for me was when I decided to transition from the academe to the clinics. It was a huge leap for me since I have been with the academe for more than 5 years, which is most of my career, and that’s more on the theoretical aspect. The decision to change setting was because I know science continues to evolve and I felt that I would be able to fulfil my purpose as a physiotherapist with continued learning in the clinics.
What is your area of expertise?
Work and sports injuries, particularly spinal conditions as well as neurophysical therapy.
What is the most fulfilling part of the job?
One of the biggest fulfilling experiences as a physiotherapist is when a patient thanks me that they are able to do as simple as their daily routine without experiencing any physical difficulty or pain. To see them be able to walk without a limp or to see them move without wincing in pain is something that inspires me to fulfil my role as a movement expert.
