He subsequently completed a Master of Science in Sports Medicine and Health Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, as well as a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Physiotherapy at Hong Kong Metropolitan University.

 

He is currently completing a Postgraduate Diploma in Modern Acupuncture for Rehabilitation at HKU SPACE. Through ongoing professional development, he continues to expand his knowledge of acupuncture and contemporary rehabilitation, allowing him to consider a broader range of appropriate treatment options for his patients.

 

Clinical and Sports Experience

 

Wills has provided sports medical support to Typhoons Rugby Football Club since 2018. In recognition of his long-term commitment and contribution to the club, he received the Neil Bowler / Clubman Award in 2025.

 

He has also worked at a range of sporting events as an on-site clinical sports trainer and physiotherapist, supporting athletes from different sports and competitive levels. His experience includes acute injury management, sports injury rehabilitation, return-to-sport preparation, and sports taping.

 

Following his physiotherapy degree, Wills worked for one year in the rehabilitation ward at North Lantau Hospital. He provided physiotherapy for patients recovering from stroke and cardiothoracic conditions, gaining valuable experience in functional rehabilitation, mobility training, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation, and restoring independence in daily activities.

 

Since his student years, Wills has been actively involved in the SPEAR Programme under the Department of Physiotherapy at Hong Kong Metropolitan University. He currently serves as one of the programme’s physiotherapists, providing sports injury support and medical coverage for the university’s basketball, taekwondo, and rugby teams. He also assists with the organisation of PHICIS and sports taping courses, contributing to the development of sports physiotherapy knowledge and practical skills among physiotherapists and physiotherapy students.

 

He has also recently been invited to serve as a Team Physiotherapist and Part-time Lecturer for the Hong Kong Sports Performance and Functional Fitness Federation.

 

Treatment Philosophy

 

*Helping patients regain control of their bodies.*

 

Wills believes that physiotherapy should go beyond short-term pain relief. Effective rehabilitation should help patients understand their bodies, identify the underlying contributors to their symptoms, and develop the skills and confidence needed to manage their condition over the long term.

 

His goal is to help patients restore movement, rebuild confidence, and return safely to daily life, work, training, or sport in the best condition possible.

 

Treatment Approach

​

• Wills uses ongoing observation, detailed assessment, and movement analysis to identify the potential underlying contributors to pain, injury, or functional limitation, rather than focusing only on symptoms.

 

• Treatment and rehabilitation plans are tailored to each patient’s condition, physical capacity, daily demands, and individual goals.

 

• Depending on clinical needs, treatment may include exercise therapy, movement-control training, functional rehabilitation, sports taping, and other appropriate physiotherapy interventions.

 

• Exercise is used progressively to help patients develop better body awareness, improve movement control, build strength, and restore functional performance.

 

• Each session prioritises movement quality over simply increasing exercise volume. Wills pays close attention to movement details and adjusts exercise selection and training load according to the patient’s response, ensuring rehabilitation remains safe, manageable, and effective.
