Alex gained extensive experience in physiotherapy from his 15 years’ practice in public hospitals and a private clinic, with focused areas in orthopaedics, neurology and stroke. He specialised in manual therapy (both western and eastern approach), and therapeutic exercise.

He then spent 3 years working in a private physiotherapy centre, returning to the Prince of Wales Hospital in 2015, when he was promoted to the position of Physiotherapist I.
