Our Services
Manual Therapy
Manual therapy techniques are carefully selected by a physical therapist after a thorough assessment and palpation of the patient's individual condition. These techniques may include joint mobilization therapy, manual traction therapy, manual stretching, fascial relaxation, or posture relaxation, among others, all aimed at relaxing tense muscles, correcting joint mobility disorders, and relieving soft tissue spasms.
Acupuncture
Modern acupuncture is a treatment method that involves the precise insertion of fine needles into specific points of the body to promote natural healing and alleviate pain. This method is based on the principles of anatomy, physiology, and neuroscience, and aims to stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues to improve function, reduce tightness and reduce inflammation.
Superinductive System
BTL Super Inductive System is a high-end technology made use of SIS Therapy™ which is a focused high-intensity electromagnetic field targeting the muscles exclusively. This therapy is capable of delivering immediate pain relief without any irritation to the skin or sensory tissue. Its therapeutic benefits encompass a range of applications, including pain relief, fracture healing, spasticity reduction, myostimulation, and targeted joint mobilization.
Radio-Frequency Diathermy
Radiofrequency therapy (RF) is a treatment that uses high-frequency electromagnetic energy to generate selective tissue hyperthermia. We combined it with the use of Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), which turns out to be an excellent modality for myofascial release, regeneration, and healing.
Focused Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy
Focused shock waves are acoustic waves that can transmit high energy to painful spots in the myoskeletal system. The therapy allows for adjustable penetration depth with a constant maximum intensity, making it suitable for both superficial and deep-lying tissues. Shock waves stimulate cells and release growth factors, promoting tissue regeneration, particularly in tendons and ligaments. This makes it an excellent modality for calcified tendons, tendinopathy, and chronic soft tissue injuries.
High Intensity Laser Therapy
Our High intensity laser, Class IV medical grade laser, is advanced laser technology in the modern era. Its high power and ideal wavelength of 1064nm allows for effective light penetration deep into the tissues. It offers a powerful form of pain management, healing, and regeneration at the cellular level through a natural process of energy transfer with a gentle and pleasant feeling. High intensity laser in pulsed mode can be effective for acute injury and pain as it allows for higher peak power delivery and shorter treatment times, making it ideal for treating acute conditions.
Ultrasound therapy
Ultrasound therapy is to use high-frequency vibrations to penetrate into the superficial affected area to generate micro-heat energy, thereby stimulating the wound cells, accelerating the wound healing process, and achieving anti-inflammatory effects. The use of the Unique HandsFree Sono® applicator with Rotary Field Technology ensures that the ultrasound energy is distributed equally and effectively across the affected area, which reduces risks such as hotspots which are typical for some stationary ultrasound technologies.
Interferential Therapy
Interferential Therapy (IFT) uses two sets of medium-frequency electrical currents with slightly different frequencies that are passed through the painful area to interfere with each other and create a set of low-frequency currents. This stimulation of nerves is done without causing any painful sensations to the patient, making it an effective and safe therapy for local large area ache and radiculopathy.
Body Composition Analyst
Our Body Composition Amalyser is more than just a regular scale - it's a comprehensive body composition analyzer that can help you achieve your health and fitness goals. With its high-precision technology, it can accurately measure not only your weight, but also your body fat, skeletal muscle mass, body fat mass and other important metrics. This makes it an essential tool for tracking progress during physiotherapy treatment and ensuring that you're on the right track.
Pilates / GYROTONIC®
Physiotherapists bring extensive knowledge to Pilates programs, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Their custom routines are tailored to challenge clients while minimizing injury risk, using a holistic approach to incorporate traditional physiotherapy equipment as needed. With their guidance, clients can improve flexibility, core strength, posture, and balance. Similarly, incorporating GYROTONIC® exercises can be risky without proper guidance due to the fluid and continuous movements required. Physiotherapists bring expertise in anatomy, biomechanics, and medical science to ensure safe and effective GYROTONIC® experiences, improving flexibility, neuromuscular connection, coordination, and posture. Choosing professional guidance ensures the full benefits of these exercises without risking injury.
Conditions
Our physiotherapists are trained to treat various conditions. Let us know what you are experiencing and we will tailor individualised rehabilitation programme for you.
Low back pain
Back pain caused by injuries or improper working posture, eg. excessive anterior pelvic tilting, can significantly affect your daily routine and quality of life. Don't endure the pain, especially if it's been persistent. Let us help you regain your mobility and alleviate your discomfort through our effective back pain therapy.
Neck, upper back,
and shoulder pain,
Poor posture, such as poking chin, rounded shoulder, is a common issue among Hong Kong's sedentary population, which may escalate with age and potentially cause pain on neck, upper back and shoulder, and even structural complications such as spinal stenosis or cord compression.
Other Musculoskeletal pain
As physiotherapists, our expertise lies in the management of various pain conditions, such as protruded intervertebral disc (PID), frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, trigger finger, jumper’s knee, and more. We offer personalized treatment options that cater to each individual's unique needs and requirements, ensuring optimal outcomes for our patients.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a complex medical condition that requires attention from healthcare professional. It impacts not only on spine but also causing malalginment on shoulders and hips. As the condition progresses, it may also exert pressure on the nerves, potentially leading to further complications. Please contact our physiotherapist if you have any scoliosis problem.
Pre and postnatal care
Pre and post-natal physiotherapy can assist expectant and new mothers in addressing pregnancy-related discomforts and specific concerns, such as diastasis recti, pelvic floor dysfunction, and lower back pain. It can aid in the strengthening of pelvic floor muscles, improving posture, and increasing overall fitness for a more seamless pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Post Op recovery
At HOLO, we utilize various modalities, mobilizations, and exercises to facilitate faster recovery and improve mobility after surgery. We prioritize proper healing to reduce pain and ensure optimal outcomes for our patients.
Bell's Palsy
Bell's Palsy is a condition that causes paralysis or weakness of the facial muscles, affecting facial expressions, speech, and eating. We use modern acupuncture to improve neuromuscular control of the affected area, reducing pain, and promoting recovery of facial function.
Geriatric Rehabilitation
As individuals age, they become increasingly vulnerable to chronic conditions, functional decline, and injuries. Geriatric physiotherapy aims to manage pain, provide education, and offer personalized exercise programs, including tailored Pilates and GYOTONIC® exercises, to enhance the balance, strength, and mobility of older adults.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease, stroke, and multiple sclerosis can severely impact an individual's quality of life. These conditions often require a comprehensive and intensive rehabilitation program that is tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient.
