She began her career at Tan Tock Seng Hospital, working in the Outpatient Musculoskeletal Clinic, managing patients with spine, shoulder and knee conditions before transiting to the Neuroscience Unit as a Senior Physiotherapist. Pursuing her passion in neuroscience, she developed special interest and expertise in the rehabilitation of stroke, acquired brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases and vestibular conditions. She was also active in contributing to clinical education, and nurturing budding clinicians in the area of neurophysiotherapy, and is recognised with awards like the TTSH Clinical Educator Outstanding Award and the National Healthcare Group Teaching Excellence Award.
As Principal Physiotherapist , she led the therapy team at St. Hilda’s Day Rehabilitation Centre (DRC), where she helped upskill the rehabilitation team, enhance clinical care, and introduce transdisciplinary care in collaboration with community nurses and occupational therapists. Laodamia also led clinical audits, and played a key role in securing grants to introduce tele-consult services and improving patient care systems, especially during the pandemic. Today she still holds strong her belief in enhancing community rehabilitation for the elderly and those with chronic neurological conditions.
Registered in Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong, she continues to engage in professional development and has delivered workshops and talks on balance, vestibular rehabilitation, and neuromuscular disorders. Beyond her practice, Laodamia volunteers in teaching rehabilitation therapists in China and Sri Lanka and remains active in community outreach.
