From Frustration to Passion

Yun-Perng participated in a variety of sports when he was in school. He often played his best, but he would hold himself back sometimes because he was fearful of developing calf cramps. That frustration spurred him to help himself and to understand his physiology.

​

He was drawn towards Physiotherapy because it involved movement and rehabilitation. He wanted to help himself by improving his own muscle physiology and since then his passion for Physiotherapy grew. Yun-Perng developed a strong interest in the subject of pain and movement. He now uses modern pain knowledge and recent research to help rehabilitate people with pain or movement difficulties.

​

Whilst undergoing his training in the UK, Yun-Perng gained invaluable practical experience through his numerous clinical attachments with the National Health Service. In addition, he had previously interned at various hospitals across Malaysia and Singapore namely Gleneagles Intan Medical Centre (Kuala Lumpur), Penang Adventist Hospital, Singapore General Hospital and Changi General Hospital. Using his skills to serve the community, he has also volunteered at the Special Children Society of Ampang and National Stroke Association of Malaysia (Ampang) on a number of occasions.

​

Yun-Perng was also involved in the Maybank Malaysian Open (Badminton) 2015 where he was a part of the physiotherapy team assisting the German players. He has also shared his expertise on elderly rehabilitation by giving talks on Manual Handling and Transfer Techniques at Hospital Sungai Long and during The Star Fit for Life Exhibition 2016. In 2017, he did a talk about Musculoskeletal Conditions at Tomei Group, Malaysia and about Physical Activity at Progressive Insurance. Since 2017, he has done numerous talks about Fall Prevention, Injury Prevention, and The Right Posture to Work From Home and he was an invited conference speaker for the Music Heals Conference at Univeriti Putra Malaysia.
