Chien Yu Hiung “Jimmy”
Jimmy graduated with a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of South Australia in 2019. Having a thirst for knowledge and new discoveries, he often finds himself questioning topics that he is unfamiliar with and seeks out answers. Jimmy firmly believes that understanding patients’ goals are the key to successful therapy and long-term outcomes. Being a sports trainer during his university years had provided him with a solid foundation on sports injuries, rehabilitation process and pain management techniques. He is well versed in manual therapy, dry needling, exercise prescription and random trivial knowledge. Jimmy strives to provide the best practice by keeping up to date with the current best research evidence which is then incorporated into patient care based on their functional goals (with a smile and sense of humour).
