How we work
How we track your progress
Where it matters, we measure — so you can see what has changed instead of relying on how it felt on the day.
Strength measured through the whole movement
Isokinetic testing records torque across the entire range of motion, where manual muscle testing is static and captures only the strongest part of it. That matters most after a knee injury, when 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.
What we treat
Conditions we treat
Each condition has its own page covering what treatment involves and what the evidence says.
Five steps, start to finish, so you know what you are walking into.
01
Before you come
You do not need a referral to see a physiotherapist. Bring one only if you are claiming through Medicare EPC, DVA or workers compensation — those pathways each need their own paperwork. Bring any scans or imaging reports you already have.
02
Assessment
We talk through your history and what you are trying to get back to, then assess movement, strength and the affected joints to work out what is driving the problem.
03
Explanation
You get told what we found and what the options are, including where the evidence is mixed. Where surgery is on the table, that decision is made between you, your doctor and your physiotherapist together.
04
Treatment and a plan
Treatment may include manual therapy, exercise prescription, load management or hydrotherapy. You leave with a plan you can follow, not just an appointment for next week.
05
Measuring progress
Where it is useful — knee injuries in particular — objective strength testing gives a number to track against, rather than relying on how it feels on the day.
How you can pay
Bring the paperwork for whichever pathway applies to you and we will sort the claim at the appointment where the scheme allows it.
Hydrotherapy runs at University of Canberra Hospital and John James Hospital by arrangement. Both pools have assisted entry, accessible bathrooms and accessible parking.
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.
Book an appointment
