BSc Physiotherapy (HKPU)

Languages spoken: English and Cantonese

Michael combines a deep scientific background with a passion for movement to help clients perform at their best. Michael holds a BSc (Hons) in Physiotherapy from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Before transitioning to physiotherapy, he spent years working across the medical and healthcare sectors in both the UK and Hong Kong. During his physiotherapy training, Michael earned a scholarship to Curtin University in Perth, Australia, gaining hands-on experience treating elite university athletes as well as individuals managing chronic conditions.

Michael has since built a diverse clinical background across musculoskeletal health, post-operative rehabilitation, and sports medicine. Certified in acupuncture, his approach to patient care is grounded in improving quality of life, blending manual therapy with functional training exercises to achieve movement efficiency, and empowering individuals with the tools and independence they need for long-term health.

Michael works with a broad spectrum of clients—from young athletes and post-surgical patients to older adults looking to stay active and mobile.

Michael has a thorough understanding of sports performance across a multitude of sports. He previously served as the lead physiotherapist for the Hong Kong Women’s National Rugby Team in the lead up to and during their 2017 World Cup campaign in Ireland. Notably this was the first time a Hong Kong team ever qualified for a Rugby World Cup. He has also helped guide his clients to international paddling competitions (Rowing, Dragon boat, Outrigger canoe, Surfski), completing the Hong Kong 4 Trails Ultra Challenge, reaching the World Championships of Hyrox, getting qualified for Kona Ironman and playing at the elite level of golf and tennis in Hong Kong, to name a few.

His first hand understanding of high-level athletes comes from his own experience competing in tennis, ultra-running, and paddling sports. Outside the clinic, Michael remains an avid enthusiast of endurance sports and outdoor training, so you may see him out on the trails or on the water in future
