About Me
My name is Alvin Lim, a physiotherapist based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and the Founder of Alveolus Life, as well as co-founder of VL Therapy. My clinical work integrates manual therapy, breathwork, and movement, helping clients overcome pain, restrictions, and chronic stress patterns. I also incorporate visceral manipulation, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) to support nervous system regulation and functional performance. My work has been featured in the Journal of Orthopaedic Disorders, and I have been invited to share my expertise on local television, radio, podcasts, and newspapers.
I primarily work with entrepreneurs, C-level leaders, and athletes who experience high stress, burnout, sleep issues, anxiety and performance plateaus. My goal is to help them restore balance, improve HRV, enhance focus, regulate stress, optimise mental clarity, improve recovery and return to peak performance through science-based breath training. I offer sessions both online and in-person, and I am expanding into corporate wellness programs, group coaching, and retreat-style experiences.
My journey with breathwork began in 2018, after a personal turning point that led me to study the science of breathing. The first book that shaped my practice was “The Oxygen Advantage” by Patrick McKeown, which opened the door to integrating breathing mechanics into physiotherapy and performance training. Outside the clinic, I have a lifelong passion for martial arts, having practiced karate, Chinese kickboxing, Krav Maga, Kali, and occasional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—has also shaped my understanding of breath, movement efficiency, and mental resilience. I also enjoy scuba diving and exploring movement through different disciplines.
I plan to continue deepening my expertise through future certifications such as Buteyko.
I welcome clients who are busy professionals, athletes, high performers, and anyone seeking to improve their physiology, stress resilience, and overall wellbeing.
