Tell us about your background in physiotherapy.
I graduated from my Bachelors degree in the UK. Upon graduation, I worked in the NHS doing rotations as a Junior Physiotherapist before coming back to Hong Kong. I started off in the community delivering in-home visits for the elderly before entering into private practice. I was exposed to the world of physiotherapy from a young age, being sent to a UK boarding school at the age of 12, sustaining injuries from a wide range of sports – from rugby to hockey to tennis. From the moment I was being assessed by the physiotherapist, I really appreciated the holistic and biopsychosocial approach they took for me and my successful rehabilitation journey.
What are your interests/areas of expertise in physiotherapy?
It varies! I don't limit myself to one area of physiotherapy or treatment approach. I believe in more of a flexible and adaptable way of working by learning as much as possible from each individual case. It is important to bear in mind that not one size fits all. I also like to adopt a mix of Eastern and Western techniques in order to aid quicker recovery.
What is the most fulfilling part of this job?
As a physiotherapist, it is so rewarding to see the smile and getting a thank you at the end of an individuals' rehabilitation journey. Knowing that you have made a difference, even if it is a slight difference in someone's life.
Tell us about a life-changing experience or adventure you’ve been on.
When I went to a mentally and physically disabled orphanage in Xian China one summer, there were extremely limited equipment and resources available. The 2 and a half weeks I spent there really tested my resourcefulness, creativity and communication skills.
It was a short but definitely memorable experience that opened my eyes fully to later on pursuing a career in healthcare. I strive to use the same compassion and enthusiasm with every client I work with.
What are your personal interests?
I enjoy all sports, but the one I have been playing the longest and enjoy the most is tennis! In my spare time, I also go to the gym and practice mindfulness, as mental health is equally if not more important than physical health.
