Sylvia Chen

Sylvia’s Profile

I completed my Bachelor of Physiotherapy from La Trobe University, Australia, in 2000, and have since worked across various clinical settings in Melbourne. My early career focused on acute trauma and accident care, particularly rehabilitation following surgery or injury.  

In 2011, I relocated to Hong Kong and began working at an international hospital, treating  clients in the Maternity and Orthopaedic wards. My work involved providing manual therapy  for musculoskeletal conditions and conducting Pilates training for a diverse range of clients, including antenatal and postpartum women, individuals recovering from orthopaedic or soft  tissue injuries, and post-surgical patients. 

In 2015, I joined Posture Plus, where my main interests include providing hands-on  treatment and incorporating Pilates Plus method to treat clients with neck or back pain.  When appropriate, I also offer ergonomic guidance to prevent repetitive injuries. 

Having 2 children has deepened my passion for supporting prenatal and postpartum  women. I enjoy helping women prepare their bodies for child birth and assisting them in  regaining their strength and mobility. 

Recognizing the importance of postnatal care, I focus on helping new mothers nurture their  bodies as they adapt to the physical demands of caring for a newborn. My approach  emphasizes core strengthening, back pain prevention, and addressing Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation), all while improving posture. Additionally, I support their transition  back to work or pre-pregnancy sports through the Pilates Plus method, which integrates  specialist physiotherapy knowledge with Pilates method. 

To expand my skills in the area of Women’s Health, I have completed post-graduate training  in Sydney. I am fluent in both English and Cantonese.
