Relieve pain. Regain control. Feel like yourself again.
Lower back pain is one of the common and complex issues, affecting millions worldwide and interfering with daily activities. Whether caused by lifestyle, injury, or chronic conditions, addressing it promptly is crucial to maintain quality of life and prevent long-term health issues.
At Total Health By Hong Kong Sports Clinic, we offer evidence-based physiotherapy for lower back pain to give you lasting relief and let you live pain-free.
Why Use Physiotherapy to Treat Lower Back Pain?
Poor posture, muscle strain, depression, joint aging, degenerative alterations within intervertebral discs, and being overweight can lead to lower back pain. It influences deep into your daily routine and affects the functionality of the spine, muscles, nerves, and other body structures.
Physiotherapy evaluates the root cause of pain, prevents future flare-ups, restores mobility, and improves posture. At Total Health By Hong Kong Sports Clinic, we offer evidence-based treatment and customized rehabilitation programs to assist you in improving your strength and mobility.
Conditions We Treat at Total Health By Hong Kong Sports Clinic
Our physiotherapists assess and treat various conditions, including:
Sciatica
It is a painful condition that results from compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve. The pain radiates from the lower back via the hips and down the legs. Its symptoms include sharp pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness in the leg, often worse when bending/sitting.
We use a combination of stretching, manual therapy, and targeted exercise to ease the sciatic nerve and restore mobility.
Disc Herniation (Slipped Disc)
A disc herniation is caused by pressure on the spinal disc, irritating nearby nerves. Its symptoms include sharp back pain, muscle weakness, numbness, and radiating pain into the arms or legs. Physiotherapy focuses on strengthening core and spinal muscles, relieving nerve pressure, and restoring mobility via posture correction, education, and targeted exercise.
Arthritis of the Spine (Spinal Osteoarthritis)
It occurs when the protective cartilage between the facet joints wears down, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It is common in elderly people. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in restoring movements, reducing inflammation, and maintaining independence.
Postural Strain & Sedentary Lifestyle
People spending long hours at desks or on digital devices experience back stiffness and muscle imbalance, recurring discomfort, and excessive stress on the lower back, neck, or shoulders. Our tailored mobility and posture retaining programs are popular among expats and Hong Kong office workers, restoring balance and preventing future strain.

I was suffering from a protracted migraine last month, which no amount of painkillers mitigated, so I came to Total Health for a chiropractic session with Dr Elaine Leung, who ended up fixing the issue by diagnosing the trigger of my migraine as being a cervical clog-up (as opposed to a neurological problem). She was attentive and knowledgeable throughout our sessions, sharing both useful information about my condition and insights into the chiropractic profession. Her colleague, Dr Jayson Chu, who shadowed 2 sessions and provided assistance on the side, was also helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr Elaine Leung and the Total Health team for anyone who seeks relief from physical ailments like migraines and chronic pain. They really are consummate professionals that I cannot thank enough!Posted on Google![]()

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! I cannot thank my therapist Moriah enough! Two weeks ago I had a sudden onset of severe lower back pain. Moriah provided incredibly patient, attentive and professional treatment. She quickly identified the exact cause of my pain and effectively relieved it using a variety of techniques. More importantly, she gave me so much encouragement throughout the treatment. If you are looking for a reliable therapist, look no further than Moriah!Posted on Google![]()

Review in English & 中文. This is the full version. Firstly, I would like to emphasize Dr. Elaine Leung is a highly skilled Chiropractor & physiotherapist. Besides her craft is top-notch, Dr. Elaine Leung has exceptionally high professional ethics and a conscience. Around mid August this year, my body was having the following issues:- 1.) muscles & fascia under my shoulder blades were out of place, causing my left shoulder bone & left collar bone "shifting" to the left 2.) pelvic fascial displacement 3.) my entire spine seems going to fall apart 4.) having difficult to breathe 5.) barely able to walk Aug 20th: Day 1. My wife accompany me to Dr. Elaine Leung's clinic after the appointment was confirmed. After she heard my body's condition and how things happened, Dr. Elaine Leung study my entire spine and where my body hurts meticulously. She then asked me to stay very relax, and "reset" my entire spine promptly with her magical hands. I was asked to slowly stand up & see if I can walk. It was like a miracle, I can use my legs slowly push my body upward, stand straight and walk with confident slowly within her office. Dr. Elaine Leung then use her hands to further adjust my plevic muscle and certain key muscle in my torso, so that I can seat comfortably as well as able to breathe easily. Dr. Elaine Leung did two things which further gained my trust on her before & after we walk out from her clinic. A.) Before we left her office, she asked me to add her contact number into my phone's and Whatsapp contact list, said she is willing to provide professional advices/ help if my body acting strange or I don't feel well after walk out from her clinic. B.) 30mins after we left Dr. Elaine Leung's clinic, I was having difficulty to breathe when having my late lunch. Text Dr. Elaine Leung via Whatsapp immediately and she replied within 1 minute along with solution to help me breathe. I tried and it works ! Finished my late lunch with joy, and felt grateful. Sept 22nd. My 2nd follow up session with Dr. Elaine Leung. I now can walk for one solid hour continuously before taking a break. Dr. Elaine Leung immediately carefully check my entire spine condition with her magical hands, ensure everything is all good. Then she taught me some exercise to further improve my mobility, perform some tricks to relax the muscle on the left of my neck, re-adjust the spine in my upper torso area and massage the deep muscle in the left of my lower torso area. After I left her clinic that day, I was able to walk much faster, entire body felt much relax and mobility further improved, especially much easier when walking up & down the stairs. To anyone who is having issues with their spine, neck and back pain, do consider consult Dr. Elaine Leung. I feel very lucky to have Dr. Elaine Leung as my Chiropractor. By the way, though Dr. Elaine Leung was born and raised in Australia, she is also fluent in speaking Cantonese. Wishing everyone healthy, and World peace. 首先,我想強調梁綺羚醫生是一位技藝精湛的脊骨神經科醫生和物理治療師。除了她精湛的醫術,梁綺羚醫生還擁有極高的職業道德和良知。 今年八月中旬,我的身體出現了以下問題: 1)肩胛骨下方的肌肉和筋膜錯位,導致我的左肩胛骨和左鎖骨向左「移位」; 2)骨盆筋膜移位; 3)感覺整條脊椎都要解體了; 4)呼吸困難; 5)幾乎無法行走。 感謝我的太太,她透過某社交媒體軟件搜尋「正骨」(軟件自動辨識認為是脊椎矯正療法),找到了梁綺羚醫師。之後我核實了一下,並在8月17日透過谷歌搜尋找到了梁綺羚醫生在香港中環的診所地址。 8月20日:第一天。 預約確認後,太太陪我去了梁綺羚醫生的診所。梁醫生聽完我的身體狀況和事情如何發生後,便仔細檢查了我整個脊椎以及疼痛的部位。她讓我放鬆,然後用她神奇的雙手迅速「復位」了我的整個脊椎。 她要我慢慢站起來,看看能不能走動。這簡直是個奇蹟,我竟然能用雙腿慢慢地把身體抬起來,挺直腰,自信地在診間慢慢走動。 梁醫生隨後用手進一步調整了我的骨盆底肌和軀幹的一些關鍵肌肉,讓我能夠舒適地坐著,呼吸也更加順暢。 離開診所前後,梁醫生做了兩件事,讓我更信任她。 1.)離開診所前,她請我把她的聯絡電話存到手機和WhatsApp通訊錄裡,說如果我離開診所後身體有任何不適或感覺不舒服,她都願意提供專業的建議和幫助。 2.)離開梁醫師生所30分鐘後,我吃午餐時感到呼吸困難。我立即透過WhatsApp聯繫梁醫生,她一分鐘內回覆了我,並給了我一個緩解呼吸困難的方法。 我試了,真的有效! 我愉快地吃完了午飯,心裡充滿感激。 9月22日的那個星期。 我第二次復診。 我現在可以連續走一個小時才需要休息。 從8月底到9月中旬,那段時閒我每次最多只能步行20到40分鐘,之後就覺得很累。 我目前的食慾增加了20%,睡眠質素也大大改善。 梁綺羚醫生用她那雙神奇的雙手法仔細檢查了我的整個脊椎,確保一切正常。 然後,她教了我一些非常輕量的運動和方法來進一步改善我的活動能力,教了我一些放鬆左側頸部肌肉的技巧,調整了我上半身的脊柱,並按摩了我下半身左側的深層肌肉。 那天離開診所後,我走路的速度明顯加快,全身感覺放鬆了很多,活動能力也進一步提高,尤其是在上下樓梯時輕鬆及容易多了。 如果任何人有脊椎、頸部或背部疼痛的問題,不妨考慮諮詢梁綺羚醫生。我感到非常幸運有梁綺羚醫生作為我的脊骨神經醫生。 雖然梁綺羚醫生在澳洲出生和成長,但是她的廣東話非常流利, 她和她的哥哥 (也是脊醫)在香港生活超過 10年。 祝大家身體健康, 世界和平。Posted on Google![]()

I’ve been seeing Dr. Bill for over 3 years, and I cannot recommend him enough. He was an absolute blessing during my recovery from a severe cycling accident. I am now in the post-recovery phase, but I continue to see him regularly for ongoing shoulder and neck pain related to my injuries. What sets Bill apart is his dual expertise in both chiropractic care and physiotherapy. He doesn't just offer a quick fix or a band-aid solution—he gives actionable advice and exercises focused on long-term health and mobility. If you are looking for a knowledgeable practitioner for injury rehabilitation or chronic pain management, Bill is the best.Posted on Google![]()

I came to Dr. Bill with lower back pain and a rounded back and shoulders. Week by week, he focused on my back, and the difference has been incredible. My pain is gone, my posture has improved so much, and I feel far more confident in how I carry myself. If you're dealing with back pain or poor posture, I highly recommend Dr. Bill. He truly changed my life!Posted on Google![]()

之前因為膝頭痛去咗中環 Total Health 搵 Dr. Jayson Chu 佢檢查得幾詳細,唔係一嚟就做治療。除咗治療之外,Jayson 仲帶我做一啲復康同強化exercises,教我點樣自己改善個問題。依家膝頭哥好咗好多,可以打返pickle ball。推薦俾想搵脊醫又想做埋復康訓練嘅人?Posted on Google![]()

Elaine is a great chiropractor and very personable; especially well suited for sport related injuries. I would definitely recommend her for treatment and long term training and rehabilitation plans. The location of her practice is also very convenient for those working / living close to Central.
