How to Correctly Sit Down and Stand Up by Physiotherapist Kenny Mark

About Kenny Mark: Kenny acquired his physiotherapy skills from studies in New Zealand, Australia and Canada. He is also certified to practice acupuncture. In past work experiences, Kenny often found that there is just not enough time to thoroughly treat his patients. It has been much more satisfying to have the opportunity to work one-to-one with his patients at Fairview Physiotherapy as he has discovered greater success with his patients by being able to provide personalized attention to them. Kenny has a special interest in sports injuries, headaches, whiplash, and neck/back injuries. Kenny’s treatment philosophy incorporates manual therapy, acupuncture and exercise to produce the best treatment results. He finds acupuncture to be especially beneficial in dampening the patient’s pain, allowing him to utilize his manual therapy techniques more effectively. He speaks Cantonese fluently.

Kenny Mark 簡史: Kenny畢業於新西蘭,澳大利亞和加拿大。他也是一名受專業認證的針灸治療師。在過去的工作經驗,Kenny經常發現沒有足夠的時間來徹底治療他的病人。他對現在Fairview物理治療可以與病人一對一接觸更令他滿意。因為他已經發現他為病人提供個性化的療程將會有更大的收穫。 Kenny有特殊的興趣: 運動損傷,頭痛,頸椎過度屈伸和頸部/背部受傷。肯尼的治療理念結合手法治療,針灸和運動,以產生最佳的治療效果。他認為針灸是特別有利於抑制了患者的痛苦,讓他更有效地利用他的手法治療技術。他會說流利的廣東話。
