Physiotherapy
-
AFTC's main focus is on musculoskeletal problems, which
includes sports injuries (e.g. knee pain, sprain ankle),
spinal problems (e.g. low back pain, neck pain), overuse
syndromes (e.g. tendinopathy) etc.
Manual therapy, electrophysical therapy, traction
therapy, taping and strapping, as well as acupuncture are
different treatment approaches, and the selection of approach
is based on a detailed assessment performed by our experienced
registered physiotherapists. In order to tackle the causes of
the problem - especially recurrent injuries - postural and
biomechanical assessments will be performed, and exercise
therapy will be emphasized as a key component to your
recovery.
-
Acupuncture
- Acupuncture is good for pain relief, muscle spasm release
and reduction of swelling. A number of our physiotherapists
are accredited by the Hong Kong Physiotherapy Association to
provide acupuncture treatment if necessary.
-
Pilates
- Our fully-equipped Pilates Studio provides Pilates-based
therapy as well as fitness oriented Pilates training. Pilates
is a set of core conditioning exercise program originally
invented by Joseph Pilates in the early 1920s with the aim of
rehabilitation and postural refinement. It is now used
worldwide as one of the most popular exercise programs in the
fitness industry. Pilates is also commonly used by
physiotherapists, as part of the exercise rehabilitation
program.

Fitness
Training
- Fitness training is important for clients with
musculoskeletal problem. Our Accredited Trainers will work
closely with our physiotherapists, to provide safe and
effective exercise prescriptions to our clients.
-
Dietetic
Consultation
- Dietitians play an important role in our weight management
process. As some of our musculoskeletal problems ¡V such as
knee pain, low back pain - are caused by overweight, AFTC
provides dietetic consultation in order to provide a holistic
wellness treatment. Consultation, diet advice and education
will be used to facilitate the weight management program, and
clients' progression will also be monitored by our registered
dietitians.
-
Podiatry
- Lower limb dysfunctions and low back problems are commonly
derived from our feet, and that's why our experienced
podiatrist is available to provide thorough biomechanical
assessment and consultation. If necessary, custom-made insoles
will be prescribed for the correction of biomechanical faults.
