Hiking and Physiotherapy: How to Prepare Your Body for the Trails in Hong Kong
Hong Kong's diverse landscape offers a hiking experience for everyone. However, the unique characteristics of the trails, including their often steep inclines, uneven terrain, and sometimes humid conditions, can pose significant physical demands on the body. Lower limb injuries account for nearly half of all hiking-related incidents in Hong Kong. These often include sprains, strains, and fractures, particularly affecting the ankles, knees, and hips.

Your head is pushed forward, your shoulders are rounded, and people keep telling you to stop slouching. You might blame hours of scrolling or desk work for your posture. But here’s the truth: there’s no such thing as “bad” posture. Forward head posture isn’t inherently harmful and doesn’t directly cause neck or low back pain. Your body is built to slouch sometimes, so stop being your own posture police!
