What does Yayasan Ipoh list publicly?
Yayasan Ipoh is a non-profit organisation founded in 1982. Its therapy division, the Persatuan Pemulihan Sultan Azlan Shah (PPSAS), is at Lorong Bercham 11 in Bercham. According to its website and a 2022 Ipoh Echo report (accessed November 2026), it lists physiotherapy, electrotherapy, pain management, occupational and speech therapy, hydrotherapy, sports and post-operative rehabilitation, horse riding therapy, day care for special needs children and an orthopaedic specialist clinic [1].
The 2022 report also described it as a PERKESO rehabilitation panel provider. Panel status can change, so confirm it.
What are the opening hours?
The Yayasan Ipoh contact page lists 8am to 5pm on weekdays and 8am to 4pm on Saturday, and Sunday is not listed [2]. Hours can change, so call the centre before you travel.
We did not find current fees on its website. Ask for today’s fee for your situation.
What else is on the Yayasan Ipoh premises?
The Star reported in November 2024 that a private clinic, Klinik Ng dan Singh, opened on the Yayasan Ipoh premises in Bercham to serve disabled children [3]. The setting is built around children and adults with long-term needs, which is rarer than a single-room physio clinic.
This is useful if you need more than one therapy at once, for example physiotherapy with speech therapy for a child.
Who may Yayasan Ipoh suit?
Based on what it lists, these people may find it a good fit.
- A family in or around Bercham who can travel to the centre.
- A parent of a child with special needs who wants therapies and day care under one roof.
- A person who needs occupational or speech therapy together with physiotherapy.
- A PERKESO-insured worker, once the panel status is confirmed.
- A household that prefers a non-profit centre and will ask for the current fee first.
When might home physiotherapy help instead, or as well?
Bercham has terrace and taman houses with stairs, and flats too. For a person after a stroke or hip fracture, the trip to a centre can take more strength than the exercises themselves.
A home visit lets the physiotherapist work on the real front step, the bathroom and the walk to the toilet. A family member can sit in and learn. For a longer discussion, see physiotherapy in Bercham: your options and our home physiotherapy in Ipoh page.
How do we fit with a Bercham centre?
Some families use a centre for the programmes and equipment it has, and add home visits for daily practice. Tell each team what the other advises.
Our Canning Garden centre, near Fatimah Hospital, is opening soon, and home visits are available across Ipoh now. If you cover PERKESO, read PERKESO and SOCSO physiotherapy in Ipoh.
What should you ask any centre?
- Which therapist treats me, and are they registered with the Malaysian Allied Health Professions Council (MAHPC)?
- What is the current fee, and what does it include?
- How long is the wait for a first appointment?
- If I cannot travel, what are the options?
