Biography
After graduating with distinction in 1996, Aaron gained valuable experience working for three years in public hospitals in Hong Kong and England, before returning to Hong Kong in 2000 to enter private practice. To improve his knowledge base and skill sets, he completed a PgD in Sports Medicine and Health Science at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2005. Aaron has extensive sports physiotherapy experience covering rugby, football, cricket, hockey, golf, triathlon, tennis and adventure racing. He is the head physiotherapist for the Hong Kong national rugby XV, having covered more than forty test matches across three continents and a dozen countries. He is a qualified Clinical Pilates instructor and an NASM certified personal trainer. Committed to a fast and effective path of recovery for his patients, Aaron believes strongly that functional core strength and good biomechanics are integral to efficient movement and improved performance. This requires a holistic approach with accurate assessment guiding targeted manual therapy and individual exercise programmes for each patient. Always a keen athlete himself, Aaron still plays football weekly and recently became a very late starter in Muay Thai boxing!
