Physiotherapy

Tired of the pain of slow recovery after a surgery or an injury? Try the new advanced technique of Pilates Physiotherapy treatment by O:RIN studio Hong Kong. O:RIN offers certified physiotherapist that incorporates Pilates, GYROTONIC®, and Manual Therapy with physiotherapy for better quick rehabilitation.

Physiotherapy, also known as physical therapy, is a science-based therapeutic approach that provides physio HK treatment for people suffering from a disability, illness, or injury. It is a beneficial physio treatment that can help to relieve pain and other long-term injuries and conditions. But when this effective physio Hong Kong technique is incorporated with other beneficial exercises by a qualified physiotherapist, the results are sure to multiply by ten folds.

This is what O:RIN Physiotherapy Hong Kong has to offer. A professional physiotherapy treatment is conducted by our registered physiotherapist in Hong Kong, who is also certified in teaching body-mind workouts. So, this means you get to reap the benefits of physio as well as sessions that provide increased stability and mobility of the spine and joint area.

If traditional therapy has failed to provide you with any benefit, try our special physio treatment led by a qualified physiotherapist, that is a perfect combination of various body-mind exercises.

O:RIN Physiotherapist - Karie

In 2008, Karie graduated from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University with first-class honors and was named on the Dean’s List. She went on to earn a Master’s degree in Manipulative Physiotherapy after that. She also holds a Diploma in Clinical Acupuncture, from which she received the Academic Excellence Award of the Year after graduating with honors. She is also a certified Pilates rehabilitation instructor, and she is currently working as a mentor-in-training (MIT) for the international academy – Polestar Pilates, assisting in the teaching of certification courses.

Read more about Karie

Karie began her physiotherapist career in Hong Kong’s public hospitals, where she was exposed to a wide range of clinical situations and experiences. In 2014, she opened her practice, focusing on a patient-centered, holistic rehabilitation approach during physio treatment.

Karie as a physiotherapist is particularly interested in treating musculoskeletal issues such as neck and back pain, sports injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation. Karie considers manual physio therapy one of the most effective approaches for assisting patients’ recovery, as evidenced by her broad clinical training in Australia. However, she believes that a musculoskeletal illness can only be treated through physio if both soft tissue and joint problems are addressed; as a result, she takes advantage of the opportunity to expand her knowledge and skills in myofascial treatments with the Structural Integration School – Anatomy Trains.  Aside from treating patients with her hands during physio, Karie is a certified professional acupuncture practitioner who believes it may aid with pain reduction and healing in both acute and chronic diseases.

Karie argues that exercise is an integral part of the rehabilitation process during physiotherapy treatment. She began her physiotherapist adventure in 2009 and has since earned certifications as a BASI Pilates, DMA Clinical Pilates, and Polestar Pilates (comprehensive/rehabilitation) instructor, as well as becoming an MIT for Polestar. Karie additionally incorporates GYROTONIC® exercises into her physio and rehabilitation programs since she recognizes the system’s significant influence on body movement re-education.

Treatment Reviews

My physiotherapist in HK – Karie, has relieved my pain and restored my movements. From not being able to tie my shoelaces without extreme pain to pain-free HIIT Training sessions.

– Andy T

I was diagnosed with scoliosis when I was 11; since then, I have tried numerous ways and physio treatment to help with this problem. Until my doctor recommended me with body-mind exercises, I started building body awareness and understanding how we can take control of our movement. Physio treatment classes with Karie helped me with finding my core strength, building up my alignment, and alleviating stress.

– Joannie Y

Thank you to my physiotherapist – Karie, for helping me recover from the injured knee and the pain-free back that I have restored from all these private physio Hong Kong sessions with you.

– Aaron X

Frequently Asked Questions

Here our physio HK specialists answer the most frequently asked questions to help you understand our physiotherapy treatment. So, let’s begin:
How do I sign up for physio HK?
A doctor referral letter is a must for each client to sign up for the physiotherapy session before the first class. Then you may fill in our Q&A form and book an appointment for your specialized physio session.
Can I claim insurance for the physio treatment?

Physiotherapy treatment provided by O:RIN Physiotherapy Hong Kong Studio is covered by insurance. We can provide you with an official receipt that has your full name for the physiotherapy treatment sessions you purchase with the signature of our registered physiotherapist Hong Kong.

* Please note that physio HK clients should confirm the details with their health insurance providers first. O:RIN Physiotherapy HK will only provide the documentation needed.

Can I join private body-mind exercise training and physiotherapy HK sessions simultaneously?

We recommend clients stick with physiotherapy sessions first, especially if they have injuries or other medical conditions that require care and attention from a fully qualified physiotherapist in Hong Kong.

But if you grow more fond and interested in body-mind exercises (I know, we all do) and the physiotherapist’s schedule doesn’t allow it, we can also arrange a professional body-mind exercise instructor for you. Of course, O:RIN Physiotherapy HK works collaboratively as a team: the physiotherapist HK and the assigned instructor will communicate thoroughly and ensure the physio exercises are complementary.

How about Group Reformer Class? Can I join it while receiving physio treatment?

O:RIN Physiotherapy HK does not recommend clients with injuries or other medical issues to join Group Class. If your finances allow, we will always suggest you stick with the physiotherapy treatment as your physiotherapist is most familiar with your body condition. The Group Class instructor might not be able to personalize the class for you.

If you insist on joining Group Class and present a medical certificate proving your physical capability to attend the class, you may also book for it at O:RIN. We also recommend you consult our physiotherapist or other professional healthcare providers.

How much are the physiotherapy sessions?
O:RIN’s private physiotherapy trial is $750, 55mins long. After having your first physiotherapy session, you may consider our physio treatment deals at different rates. For more information, you may request the price list at O:RIN studio or message O:RIN Physiotherapy HK through WhatsApp.
What kind of problems can Physiotherapy help to solve?

People come to O:RIN Physiotherapy Hong Kong for many different reasons and purposes! Some are looking for (workplace) injury or surgery rehabilitation, some need sports physiotherapy, some receive pre-or-postnatal physio training.

Below are some common injuries or health issues our physiotherapist Hong Kong treats:

  •       Scoliosis
  •       Back pain
  •       Slipped disc
  •       Sciatica
  •       Muscle overuse syndrome
  •       Muscle tears
  •       Knee surgery

If you are still unsure about joining our physiotherapy treatments or private body-mind exercise sessions, message O:RIN Physiotherapy HK through WhatsApp for more information about our Physiotherapy or specific Physiotherapist HK sessions.

What's the difference between the physio-led Pilates/ GYROTONIC® class and the ordinary body-mind exercise classes​

Medical and Health Expertise

Physiotherapists in Hong Kong are experts in anatomy, movement, and injury management. These areas of physio knowledge allow the physiotherapist HK to modify, adjust and choose the safest and the best physio or body-mind exercises for an individual. In our Physio-led body-mind exercise classes, our physiotherapist offers expertise as a medical and health professional.

Catering to unique physique and specific injuries

Specific body-mind exercises are great for improving muscle strength and flexibility. However, although instructors of non-physio HK private classes are aware of the medical history of clients, they are not as specialized as a trained physiotherapist HK to look into details of one’s injuries and specific medical needs. This is where our physio treatment stands out from the rest.

Safety 

A physically active and healthy person with no injuries or medical conditions can enjoy and benefit from a typical non-physio body-mind exercise class. Yet, individuals that are injured and have not exercised in a while might be more injury-prone. It is thus safer and highly recommended for these clients to attend our physiotherapy class with the full attention of a physiotherapist in Hong Kong.

Our physiotherapists avoid certain exercises for a person, for instance, with back pain due to a slipped disc, while not restraining all movements in the area to foster recovery during physio in Hong Kong. A qualified physiotherapist is thus crucial to ensure clients’ safety and achieve maximum results.

Why choose O:RIN for physiotherapy?

When it comes to physio treatments, O:RIN does not believe in shortcuts to bring temporary transformation or Band-Aid solutions; instead, our physio focuses on the symptoms to treat the issue or injury. On one hand, we utilize physiotherapy in HK to relieve pain and stiffness. On the other hand, our physiotherapist incorporates body-mind exercises into physiotherapy treatments to give you a more balanced muscular body, preparing you to experience relief from injury. This type of physio in Hong Kong not only allows you to target the discomfort now, but it is a long-term relief and prevention to other health issues you might be facing.

O:RIN's unique approach to physiotherapy in hong kong​

At O:RIN Physiotherapy Hong Kong, we believe in restoring energy and mobility for clients to move their bodies freely during physio treatment. Together with the fundamental principles of an array of body-mind exercises, our physiotherapist with multidisciplinary knowledge provides you with body assessment, diagnosis, manual physio HK therapy, and health education as well.

You might be shocked to learn how closely body-mind exercises and physiotherapy are related. It’s natural to put your fitness on hold as you recover from an accident and focus on putting your body back in functioning order through normal physio. However, body-mind exercises are more than simply a great workout regimen; many physiotherapy programs include comparable movements, and body-mind workouts can be a great way to start your rehabilitation during physio in Hong Kong. Clinical body-mind exercise instructors are common among physiotherapists, and they make many of the activities that aid in physiotherapy rehabilitation more accessible.

A variety of therapeutic methods are implemented by our physiotherapist HK. In her physio Hong Kong sessions, is designed to allow full range of motion and stability. While Pilates stabilizes your muscle, GYROTONIC® mobilizes your spine and joints three-dimensionally, spiraling away from the pain.

Dedicated to all the women of O:RIN ❤️
A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make sure everything runs smoothly, and I am so lucky to have a team who goes above and beyond to do this. Even when I take time off to travel, I know that the studio is in capable hands.
You are the one holding up this studio! On International Women’s Day (and every other day too!) I hope you know how much I appreciate everything you do.
Love,
Karen x

From rendering to reality 😍
Designing each studio is a bit like giving birth to a new baby for us 😆 The process is something we deeply enjoy, from concept stage, to choosing every single pattern, tile, fabric, furniture and more.
It’s so satisfying to see it come to life and once it’s done we always feel like doing it all over again!

I tried Classical Pilates in Vancouver last month 😊
What we often practice in the studio these days is Contemporary Pilates, which incorporates modern knowledge of the body.  Many exercises are influenced by physical therapy and have been modified to accommodate injury rehabilitation.
Classical Pilates stays close to Joseph Pilates’ original work. Exercises are taught in way that he developed them and in exactly the same order too.
I definitely think Classical Pilates isn’t easy to understand and follow, but it was fun to explore new things. Have you try Classical Pilates before, share your experience with us below. 🤗
