MEET OUR FOUNDER,
IVY YEUNG Po Yee

Why, you ask? Well, that’s because as a physiotherapist, I’ve received so many blessings from my mentor, family, friends, colleagues and patients:

My mentor

I have to thank my mentor for my first eureka moment in physiotherapy.

Back when I was still a physiotherapy student, a patient complaining of back pain sought my help.

As I was so new to the field, I focused my assessment and treatment only on the back.

If it hurts in a particular area, that must be where the problem is, right? That’s not always the case which I found out when clinical educator stepped in. Walking me through the other structures (which could have caused the pain, but didn’t hurt), he helped me realise that there’s just so much more for me to learn about physiotherapy.

He treated those structures, and ‘ah-ha’, the pain was indeed gone!

His guidance left a deep impression on me and sparked my passion for tracking down not only the source of pain but also the cause of pain. Because only then will the treatment be effective.

My family and friends

On my journey of learning and maturing, my family and friends have always been there for me.

They allowed me to practise on them when I was still new and inexperienced, for which I am just too grateful for.  

Sometimes, they wouldn’t approach me for help even when they were actually in pain, worried that I might be too tired to treat another patient after work.

My colleagues

In my years of practice as physiotherapist, I have had the privilege to work with some great practitioners who helped me sharpen my clinical reasoning and treatment skills. Whenever I was challenged with difficult conditions, they were always happy to lend their expertise and propose viable solutions. For their help, I’m grateful.

My patients

Most patients, true to how they are called, patiently tolerated my examinations – which, admittedly, at times could be long. Many have even opened up and shared their life stories with me, treating me as a friend.

I hope to pay all these blessings forward by helping people regain and improve their mobility.

In doing so, I hope to give them the ability to spend quality time with loved ones once again; excel in their jobs just like before; lend a helping hand to those around them; to pursue things in life they are passionate about.
