If you are unfortunate to injure yourself during sport, or getting out of bed too fast, you may…read morefind that you need to visit a physiotherapist. Your doctor will more than likely have their own recommendations, but if you are coming directly, I would recommend ASA Physiotherapy Clinic. With five locations across HK from New Territories to Island, there will probably be a branch near you.
I recently needed some treatment, and visited Dr Stephen Wong at the Central branch. Dr Wong was really cheery and good natured, which made me feel instantly at ease, and his consultation was very thorough. He prepared a comfortable and easy to follow treatment plan involving ultrasound, electrical therapy and exercise, which was administered by his nursing staff.
Depending on your insurance, you may be covered, either outright or "pay first, claim later". If you are not covered, treatment only costs HKD600 per session, per affected area. Be warned, the clinic only takes cash or cheque. No EPS, no credit cards!
The services they offer as part of their physio, include; acupuncture, manipulative therapy, laser therapy, ultrasound, hot & cold therapy, deep thermal therapy. To be honest, I have no idea what half of these are, but the doctors will guide you in what is best for your injury.
Hopefully you will never need physio, but if you do, I would recommend paying ASA a visit.
