Tim Ma
General Physiotherapist, Acupuncture Master’s Candidate, Certified Pilates Instructor
As a passionate general physiotherapist, I have developed a special interest in working with neurological conditions and athletes. My journey has taken me from being a personal trainer to a strength and conditioning coach, and now, a skilled physiotherapist. I am also nearing the completion of my Master’s in Acupuncture, which will enable me to provide a more holistic service and achieve better outcomes for my patients.
I believe in walking the talk and bring extensive experience to effectively communicate and connect with my patients. I am a skilled manual therapist and emphasize simple, yet effective exercises to ensure long-term results. My approach to care is rooted in quality, taking the time to listen, assess, and treat each individual thoroughly.
In addition to English, I can consult in Cantonese and Mandarin.
