Combining Medical Knowledge & Personal Experience

As a physiotherapist and movement coach, my specialism is in assisting individuals in improving their bodily movement. Through the integration of my knowledge of physiotherapy and my personal experience in various movement practices such as dance, Pilates, and GYROKINESIS®, as well as my personal journey of overcoming pain, I provide comprehensive physiotherapy and movement training sessions. These sessions not only alleviate pain, but also enhance overall movement health.

My Philosophy - Movement Health

Long-term health, quality of life, athletic performance, injury prevention, and training outcomes are all interconnected with the way we use our bodies. The key to achieving movement health, effective pain management, promoting holistic health, preventing injuries, and achieving exceptional performance is to maintain control over our bodies and possess a variety of movement patterns.

Training & Experience in Performing Arts

With more than 15 years of ballet and Chinese folk-dance training, and 3 years of rhythmic gymnastics training, I have cultivated a keen sense of to the body and movement. After graduation, I attended the Dance Teacher & Health Professional Intensive Workshop with Lisa Howell in Australia. I have served as a physiotherapist/training consultant for the international tour of The Lion King musical, as well as a dance instructor at Chung Cheng High School where I taught courses on dance injury prevention. Additionally, I have developed and delivered professional training courses for dancers. I have aided numerous professional and amateur performers such as dancers, rhythmic gymnasts, gymnasts, ice skaters, pianists, cellists, accordion players, singers to overcome pain, surpass themselves, and breakthrough bottlenecks.

Professional Development in Physiotherapy & Movement Science

Since my university days, I have been dedicated to studying movement science and continuously honing my skills. I have completed professional education courses in various movement disciplines and manual therapy and have received guidance from world-renowned physiotherapists like Mark Comerford and Dr. Sarah Mottram, providing me valuable insights into physiotherapy and movement science.

Experience in Clinical Practice & Movement Teaching for 10 Years

With a decade of clinical practice and experience of teaching movement, Pilates, and GYROKINESIS® classes, I utilize comprehensive assessments, precise manual therapies, and diverse movement training to assist chronic pain patients in eliminating pain and restoring their quality of life. I help individuals from all backgrounds - general public, professional/amateur performing artists, and athletes - prevent injuries, delay aging, and surpass their limits.

Teaching Professional Courses

I was invited by Mark Comerford, founder of UK-based CMS Professional Education Institute, to be the first accredited tutor in East Asia in 2016. As a senior tutor, I taught courses on physiotherapy and movement training, such as Kinetic Control and Movement Science Practitioner, in Taiwan, China, Macau, and Hong Kong. Additionally, I have taught course at the Physiotherapy department in National Yang Ming Chio Tung University and National Taiwan University. Furthermore, I have organized professional development courses for dancers and dance teachers. With over 1200 hours of teaching experience, I have shared my expertise with more than 650 professionals.

Relieve Pain, Achieve Movement Health, and Excel in Performance

I provide physiotherapy at a clinic, alongside individual and group movement training classes. My goal is to empower my clients to lead better lives by promoting "Movement Health" through the power of movement.
