Alongside my clinical work, I competed as a professional badminton player on the national circuit. This first-hand experience gives me valuable insight into the physical and psychological demands of high-level sport, including injury management, load monitoring, and return-to-play planning.
Having worked across grassroots, semi-professional, and elite sporting environments in rugby and football, I have a strong focus on movement quality and identifying the root causes of persistent muscle and joint issues. My approach combines hands-on treatment with evidence-based rehabilitation, alongside techniques including acupuncture, sports massage, shockwave therapy, and myofascial cupping to help patients move, recover, and perform with confidence.
Fluent in both Cantonese and Mandarin, I also integrate aspects of Eastern and Western treatment approaches to provide holistic, personalised care tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Whether treating sports injuries or everyday musculoskeletal concerns, I am committed to delivering tailored rehabilitation that supports long-term recovery, resilience, and performance.
Specialisation:
I specialise in the assessment and treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, including sports injuries and post-operative rehabilitation. My approach is active, individualised, and designed to support patients from the early stages of recovery through to full return to sport and performance, with a particular interest in back pain, shoulder conditions, and lower limb injuries.
Approach:
My approach is patient-centred and guided by the latest research, using movement and education to support recovery and performance. With experience in elite-level badminton, I understand the demands of both everyday function and high-performance sport, helping individuals return to activity with confidence through tailored, honest, and practical rehabilitation.
