Motion Focus Physiotherapy - Joanne Leung

I really appreciate that Joanne carefully assessed my issue and provided unrushed treatment. She patiently explained the cause and demonstrated stretch and strengthening exercises. If the pain persisted after a week to return. My pain and mobility improved. Very happy with the professional service and absolutely great value for money. Highly recommend.

Best physio I have been to in HK. I have been in HK 10 years, and have seen maybe 4-5 physios in that time, including fancy ones in Central, as well as an expensive Chinese Medicine guy in Kowloon who covered me in mud and blankets with heat lamps etc. Joanne by far is the best. Few reasons: 1. I have recovered from pain and injury faster with Joanne than any other. This may be due to many reasons, i myself am getting fitter and healthier, but for whatever reason, Joanne treatments + instructions / homework sorts me out quicker, and with less sessions, than anyone else. 2. She is never selling me more sessions. All others would see me, and say that I need XX more sessions, "shall I book you in now??" - Joanne has never done this. Frustratingly, she tells me to go do the exercises that she has told me, and don't come back. What I want is to just pay my money and she fixes my problems but seems she is correct in saying that I have to fix them myself! Haha. Further, the exercises she gives actually work. These are life long solutions. 3.Final reason that I say that she is the best is something she said during my previous session, and this is really what prompted me to write this review: during my previous session with her, I was lying on my front, she was working my back and shoulder, and just during casual conversation about my aches and pains, she suggested that I maybe go see a mental health therapist! I casually mentioned this to a friend of mine afterwards and he was pleasantly shocked at this, which made me realise just how unique a physio Joanne is. Joanne's point to me was that whilst I still had some physical weak spots that need some work, she was of the view that since I had come in with a list of small pains from ankle to knee to hip to shoulder, many of my issues could be coming from a high-stress life, and maybe working that through with a mental health professional would reduce some of my physical pains. Thinking about it, this is obvious, but for a physio to suggest it? Rare. Very rare. My friend was quite taken aback when I recalled the story. So yeah, Joanne is genuinely great: effective, caring, unselfish, nice to talk to, all those things you want from a health professional. Oh, and to top it off - her dear Mum is on reception and she is so sweet. So you are immediately relaxed when you enter and also when you leave, I consider it part of the overall treatment. They make an effective pair.

This is not my first time going to a physiotherapist, but my very first time meeting one as good and as caring as Joanne. She is knowledgeable and friendly. I appreciate that Joanne listened to my problem, and made a great effort to diagnose and assess my shoulder sprain. Her kneading and acupuncture was effective in stretching my muscle and relieving the pain. Not to mention that she has such a great personality and I genuinely enjoyed talking to her. Highly recommended.

To put it succinctly, Joanne is an excellent physiotherapist! I have seen other physios in the past and more recently have even tried chiropractors as well but the results were ineffective, not to mention very costly. It seems most will just want to scam you and push you into buying their packages, but when it comes down to it, they do very little work on you and leave it mostly to the machines. If you want someone that actually diagnoses your problem, well-experienced, is hands on and genuinely cares about your well-being and recovery then I would highly recommend trying Motion Focus Physiotherapy. The added benefit is that Joanne can cater to both locals and expats (speaks perfect Cantonese and English) and the other staff there are very kind and accommodating.

I am most impressed by Joanne’s professional knowledge and her skilful kneading and manipulative therapy for my hand injury. Coupled with her cheerful disposition and friendly reception at the clinic, I felt less pain in the therapeutic course of over 5 months. She also taught me effective home exercises to maintain muscular and joint flexibility. The clinic facilities are comprehensive and up-to-date. All these have contributed to my speedy recovery. A big thank you to Joanne!
