How we work
Treatment decisions here come from measurement and published protocols, not from how long it has been.
Strength measured, not estimated
An isokinetic machine holds a limb to a set speed and records the force a muscle produces at every point in the movement. A hand-held strength test is static: it catches the strongest part of the range and nothing else. That matters anywhere a difference between sides needs a number rather than an impression — most of all after a knee injury, where a leg can feel ready well before it measures ready.
The GLA:D® program for hip and knee osteoarthritis was developed by researchers in Denmark and follows a set protocol. Kwong is a registered GLA:D® physiotherapist and runs it alongside ongoing small-group classes.
GLA:D Australia reports an average pain reduction of 36% among program participants, alongside reduced analgesic use, a reduction in perceived need for surgery, and clinically meaningful improvement in joint confidence.
Kwong works alongside sports doctors and orthopaedic surgeons on both operative and non-operative pathways. Where surgery is on the table, that call is made between you, your doctor and your physiotherapist together.

Before you book
Common questions
Do I need a referral to see a physiotherapist?
No. You can book directly. A referral is only needed if you are claiming through Medicare EPC, DVA or workers compensation, and each of those has its own paperwork — see funding below.
Which location should I book?
Health Space Weston runs Monday and Thursday, 9am to 4pm. Bruce Sports Medicine at Hall runs Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. Hydrotherapy runs at University of Canberra Hospital and John James Hospital by arrangement.
Can I claim on the spot?
Private health insurance can be claimed at the appointment through HICAPS. Medicare EPC works differently — you pay the fee at the appointment and claim the rebate back from Medicare afterwards.
What languages do you speak?
English, Cantonese and Mandarin.
What is GLA:D®?
An education and exercise program for hip and knee osteoarthritis, developed by researchers in Denmark. Kwong is a GLA:D® registered physiotherapist and runs the program along with ongoing small-group classes.
Do you see NDIS participants?
Yes, self-managed NDIS participants are welcome.
