AUSTRALIA ACUPUNCTURE AND SPORTS PHYSIO
INJURY IS NOT JUST A PROCESS OF RECOVERY.
IT'S A PROCESS OF DISCOVERY.
PHILOSOPHY
Helping our clients to restore their health with our expertise is what we do everyday.
Optimising recovery time with a faster return to their favourite activity is the primary goal of the treatment plan.
Prevention is key to the clinical pathway developing physical resilience, accentuating body awareness through education.
RECOVERY
01
PAIN & INJURY
The road to recovery from an accident, injury, operation or if you are experiencing chronic, pain can be daunting and frustrating.
We are here to support and provide the help you need along the way, to make this an enriching journey.
02
ASSESS
The aim of the first session will be to listen to you explain to us about your problem, ask questions to differentiate the diagnosis which helps us to understand your condition better.
A physical examination based on that information will then be carried out. Together we will make a plan that suits you as an individual.
03
TREATMENT
We take a holistic approach to our treatment by complimenting traditional physiotherapy treatments with the combination of different disciplines and techniques such as pilates, yoga based exercises and Integrated Oriental Manual Therapy.
The skill of selection and application of different techniques, with appropriate clinical decision is vital in maximising its therapeutic effectiveness and benefits.
04
RESTORE
Recovery goes beyond getting you pain free.
Through restoring balance and harmony in your body, our aim is to optimise self healing and injury prevention.
Building resilience enables recovery and creates tolerance to that once pain inducing activity.
05
OPTIMISE
We prescribe movement as medicine.
Optimisation is the 'silver lining' to the injury experience.
It can be an opportunity to correct the imbalance within the body that created the pain experience.
By creating a shift in this balance, we create a more efficient movement pattern that reduces pain and facilitates an optimal speed of recovery.
This is usually reserved for professional athletes, but it is also available to those that wish to play a more active role in self care.

As an Australian trained physio and accredited acupuncturist, Yann grew up in Hong Kong , Singapore , Melbourne and London. Upon graduation, Yann acquired well-grounded knowledge in a wide range of settings such as professional sports, pre/post operation (orthopaedics) , paediatrics, neurological, pre/post natal rehab and Traditional Chinese Medicine acupuncture.
Drawing experience from his near service ending injury that he sustained during his time in the military, Yann recognised the significance of a multi-faceted holistic approach to an injury. This set him on a journey to explore treatment techniques of different disciplines and he was fortunate enough to be mentored by various clinicians notable in their own discipline along his career.
This exposure profoundly influenced his unique treatment approach which crystallizes modern scientific evidence-based practice knowledge and manual handling of Physiotherapy, with Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Chiropractic Manipulation.
With over a decade of experience, including being the consulting physio for a number of ‘S&P 500’ companies and International sports events. The list of clients under Yann's care ranges from world renowned athletes, government officials, celebrities and public figures to the urban dwellers of this bustling city of Hong Kong.
Specializing in rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injury Yann commits to every single client experience with the same level of passion and dedication.

Rosena qualified as a Chartered Physiotherapist in 1994 and completed her basic grade rotations in NHS (UK) hospitals. She achieved her Masters Degree in Sports Injury and Therapy in 2000 and worked in private clinics, before setting up her own clinic Johnston Clinic Ltd (UK).
For the first 10 years of her career, Rosena held official appointments with various sports teams and provided pitch side / match side/ event physiotherapy at National and International events.
For the next 10 years, Rosena built on her Elite Sports knowledge of acute single joint injury and pain (ankle / knees / shoulders etc) and focused on more complex issues surrounding hip/back pain, in particular working with those determined to avoid the surgeon’s knife!
Rosena studied with Sarah Key from Australia, who devised the 5 stages of spinal breakdown and she became an accredited practitioner in the Sarah Key Method in 2010. This has revolutionised her approach to helping patients take back control of their condition through learned exercises and understanding of behavioural patterns contributing to their pain.
She has supplemented her expertise through extensive travel overseas and gained insight into different medical models of care, cultural differences and expectations surrounding exercise and pain. She has developed and implemented the training and development programme of sports physiotherapists and exercise physiologists in Singapore and overseen the effectiveness of services provided for weight management, RSWT (radial shockwave therapy)& ACL rehabilitation.
Rosena likes to work with motivated individuals, who will benefit from her extensive knowledge and background. Now in her 3rd decade of being a physiotherapist she offers this simple advice if you want to get better:
“The key to getting out of pain is to identify and change the pain inducing behaviour!”
She looks forward to seeing you at her clinic soon!
