2024 Jan. 11-12 “Movement Solutions for Transitioning to High Threshold Training for Peak Performance” This was a course organised by the Taiwan Physical Therapy Association, which I interpreted for Mark Comerford before moving to Australia. This was the most challenging interpreting I have ever undertaken. I had to translate and demonstrate high threshold training and show how to train reaction agility by dodging a ball.😂 A few key points to review： ◼︎Weakness or loss of motion are not directly related to injury recurrence. Movement Control is the key!◼︎strong / weak ≠ control / uncontrolled◼︎Strength training & motor control training are distinctly different processes◼︎Central V.S. Peripheral fatigue◼︎Clinical Guideline for Recruitment Training ◼︎Muscle classification ◼︎What go wrong in the presence of pain an pathology ◼︎Graded motor control retraining◼︎Strategies to make the Transition from Low Threshold Motor Control Training to High Threshold Core Strengthening◼︎7 rehab stage for peak performance1. Control of direction2. Control of translation3. Control through range4. Control of extensibility5. Control during spinal & girdle ROM6. Control during overload training7. Control during high-speed movements ◼︎Make high threshold transition by adding…• Fatiguing resistance• Speed to the point of fatigue• Fatiguing unstable base training (proprioceptive challenge) ◼︎Assess for ‘strength’ deficiency – “weak link” ◼︎Control…

I feel privileged to be invited by the Taiwan Physical Therapy Association to assist and translate the Visceral Manipulation 2 and 3 courses alongside Daniel Chang and Hou Bo-ren, taught by Pierre Vey. I also want to express my gratitude for the trust placed in me by all the students. Pierre Vey is my third instructor in Visceral Manipulation (VM), and each teacher brings their own distinctive teaching style and clinical techniques. Pierre delivers the course content through precise anatomical and biomechanical analysis, sharing the principles of assessment and treatment in Visceral Manipulation, as well as elaborating on the intricate relationships between visceral fascia and various systems. Pierre’s perspective on viscera and bodily movements aligns with my own belief that “compensation is not the issue, but rather being trapped in one compensation could pose a problem. The body should have the freedom to choose.” Pierre Vey’s clinical tips:“Approach patients with a perceptive mind and a knowledgeable brain.” I am so glad I got the chance to meet Erin, the Australian teacher who instructs CST (CranioSacral Therapy), and also delighted to have the opportunity to make some new friends during the courses.Learning always fills me with vitality! ■ Appointment / Collaboration…

I’m thrilled to have been invited once again to give a lecture on “Emerging Physiotherapy – Physiotherapy for Performing Artists” and share my experiences in supporting performing artists with undergraduate and graduate students at the Department of Physical Therapy and Assistive Technology in National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University. We delved into discussions about musicians, dancers, rhythmic gymnasts, actors, and more, all of whom can benefit greatly from physiotherapy. Every performing art form possesses its own unique and remarkable aspects that demand careful consideration in the realm of physiotherapy. And truth be told, I still have so much to learn. What I genuinely want to convey to the students are the methods of self-learning and self-improvement, empowering them to enhance their professional skills in the realm of performing arts physiotherapy. Two hours just flew by, and there are so many topics I would love to share. Maybe next time, we should have a full-day!

I choose to close my studio in Oct and all the processes were finally done last week. I feel happy and relieved that this phase was over and it’s time to move on. / When I was asked to provide my title and self-introduction for an invited lecture, I suddenly realized I am neither the lead of Asia Hub nor a tutor. And now, I am not an owner of a studio either. Who am I without all these titles? What’s my value? Do I still have a successful career? Is there anyone still willing to sit in the audience and to listen to my lecture? I worked so hard to gain what I had. Am I rolling down to the bottom of the hill before reaching the peak? I talked to my family and friends about my self-doubt, and I tried to face my own feelings instead of just considering what others thought about me. I found I can slow down without worrying so much and I am much more delighted. Besides, there is no drop of the number of patients, lecture invitations, collaborate invitations, and the followers on social media, which even keeps increasing. THANK YOU SO MUCH…

On the first working day of this year, I want to give myself a huge round of applause! During the Lunar New Year holiday, I refrained from checking any work-related messages, emails, or making any work-related posts. It was a true holiday! At last, I have learned how to take a break. I feel that this is an important milestone for me in achieving the balance between work and life. 🥂 Previously, I was accustomed to non-stop work, and during the vacation, I felt guilty at times. (Maybe this is a part of culture.) But then I realized, why feel guilty? Taking a break and resting is perfectly reasonable! While others had their holidays two days earlier, I gave myself an extra two days off, and today is officially my first day back to work! 🧨 After spending several days sitting in front of the computer playing computer games during the holiday, my whole body felt tight. I truly admire those who have to sit in front of a computer every day for work. (According to my dad, playing games requires more dedication than working, so in reality, work doesn’t involve sitting for that long.) On the first day of…
