Motion Metrix Running Assessment
is the latest and quickest 3D running gait assessment tool imported from Sweden. With Motion Metrix, we can evaluate the same parameters measured by traditional motion capture systems without conducting a full day of testing at a specialized biomechanics lab
Invented by a group of elite runners, computer engineers, and scientists from varying fields (including physics, mathematics, and biomechanical engineering), this 3D assessment tool captures amateur to elite running performance
The assessment identifies a runner’s body biomechanics, running form, mechanical forces, and impacts within different body planes. Scores are then calculated for running economy, elastic exchange, and stride rating respectively. Results are used not only to improve running performance, but also to identify present or potential dysfunctions in biomechanics that inform the creation of tailor-made running or rehabilitation programs
Isokinetic Training
APS physiotherapy and Sports clinic is the only private clinic in Hong Kong that own Cybex isokinetic assessment and training machine
Exercises consisting of movements done at a constant speed. Isokinetic exercises help train specific muscles to gain strength, endurance and elasticity in a safe and accurate way.It is specially benefit for post-op rehabilitation likes: ACL reconstruction and shoulder reconstruction surgeries
Manual Therapy
is defined as a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific hands-on techniques, including manipulation or mobilization to diagnose and treat soft tissues and joint structures for the purpose of modulating pain; increasing range of motion (ROM); reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation; inducing relaxation; improving contractile and non-contractile tissue repair, extensibility, and/or stability; facilitating movement; and improving function
Radial & Focus Shockwave
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT)is a non-invasive procedure for the treatment of acute and chronic pain of the musculoskeletal system. Acoustic shockwaves are characterized by a pressure surge with an extremely short rise time, which is then followed by an exponential drop in pressure and a brief phase of negative pressure. The shock waves used in ESWT focus or develop in the target tissue at the point where the pain is originating from. They cause an improved local blood circulation and metabolism. The primary means by which extracorporeal shock waves affect living tissue is based on the transformation of mechanical stimuli into biochemical or biomolecular signals
Conditions treatable with ESWT
Chronic pain is recognized as a worldwide epidemic. Common conditions such as tennis elbow, calcaneal heel spurs, calcification of the shoulder joint and ischemic muscle bands (trigger points) are a major cause of chronic pain. The use of ESWT to safely and successfully treat these conditions is supported by a wealth of clinical experience and scientific evidence. In addition, shockwave technology is a valuable diagnostic tool for the precise localization myofascial trigger points
Exercise Therapy
Exercise Therapy uses specific stylised movements to improve the way the body functions. It focuses on moving the body and its different parts to relieve symptoms and improve mobility – and of course levels of fitness. You can use exercise therapy for the prevention and management of pain and along the way, get to know your body and the way it works better
Acupuncture
is an alternative medicine methodology originating in ancient China that treats patients by manipulating thin, solid needles that have been inserted into acupuncture points in the skin. According to Traditional Chinese medicine, stimulating these points can correct imbalances in the flow of qi through channels known as meridians
The classical Chinese explanation is that channels of energy run in regular patterns through the body and over its surface. These energy channels, called meridians, are like rivers flowing through the body to irrigate and nourish the tissues. An obstruction in the movement of these energy rivers is like a dam that backs up in others
The modern scientific explanation is that needling the acupuncture points stimulates the nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will either change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system
Electrotherapy
is used for relaxation of muscle spasms, prevention and retardation of disuse atrophy, increase of local blood circulation, muscle rehabilitation and re-education electrical muscle stimulation, maintaining and increasing range of motion, management of chronic and intractable pain, post-traumatic acute pain, post surgical acute pain, immediate post-surgical stimulation of muscles to prevent venous thrombosis, wound healing and drug delivery. Our electrotherapy machine are mainly made in Germany and United Kingdom
Health Seminar
the meeting of a group of people with a professional or expert for training, discussion, or study on a particular health related subject
Insole Making
is defined as a clinical approach utilizing skilled, specific hands-on techniques, including manipulation/mobilization to diagnose and treat soft tissues and joint structures for the purpose of modulating pain; increasing range of motion (ROM); reducing or eliminating soft tissue inflammation; inducing relaxation; improving contractile and non-contractile tissue repair, extensibility, and/or stability; facilitating movement; and improving function
