A Personal Plan for Spinal Health

Living with scoliosis can feel like carrying a question that never quite goes away. Will the curve change? Can discomfort be reduced? What should be done each day to support the spine? OCHK offers a considered answer through its scoliosis programme, combining detailed assessment, hands-on treatment and scoliosis-specific exercise for adolescents and adults in Hong Kong.

The programme is designed to be personal. It recognises that two people with the same diagnosis may have very different needs, goals and daily realities. Some may want to manage pain and stiffness; others may want to maintain confidence in sport, work or everyday movement. OCHK begins by listening, assessing and explaining, then builds a plan around what matters most to the individual.

Who We Are

OCHK, the Osteopathic Centre Hong Kong, is a hands-on osteopathy clinic with locations in Central and Quarry Bay. The team works with people experiencing back pain, neck pain, postural strain, sports injuries and scoliosis, always seeking to understand the broader pattern behind a person’s symptoms.

The scoliosis programme is led by Stephen Watts, Founder and Clinical Director of Osteopathic Centre Hong Kong. A British-trained osteopath with more than 20 years of experience, Stephen has completed the Schroth Best Practice Course in Melbourne and the SSOL Schroth Practitioner course in Singapore. His approach brings together osteopathy, manual therapy, yoga therapy, SpineCor soft bracing and modern Physiotherapeutic Scoliosis-Specific Exercise principles.

What We Offer

The OCHK Scoliosis Programme includes:

  • Detailed osteopathic assessment and hands-on treatment

  • Schroth-based scoliosis-specific exercise

  • Education and home exercise planning

  • Monitoring and referral guidance where appropriate

  • SpineCor soft bracing in selected cases

Osteopathic treatment may address spinal, ribcage, pelvic and hip mobility, soft-tissue tension, breathing mechanics and functional limitation. Advice may cover posture, sleep, desk setup, sport and daily activity. Exercise focuses on postural awareness, three-dimensional correction, strength, flexibility and control, giving patients practical tools to use beyond the clinic.

When It’s Useful

This programme may be the right choice for:

  • Children and adolescents during growth and development

  • Adults with scoliosis-related discomfort, stiffness or reduced mobility

  • People seeking a clearer explanation of their spinal health

  • Those who want a structured exercise plan they can continue at home

  • Patients who need guidance on whether further assessment or specialist input is appropriate

  • Anyone looking for a combination of hands-on care, education and movement support

Why Choose OCHK

OCHK’s strength lies in its integrated, assessment-led approach. Rather than offering a single solution, the clinic combines osteopathic treatment, Schroth-informed exercise, education and referral guidance. This allows care to evolve as the person’s needs change.

Patients are treated as partners in their own care. They receive clear explanations, practical strategies and a plan that can be understood and maintained. Where a curve appears to be progressing, symptoms are unusual, neurological signs are present, or imaging or surgical opinion may be needed, OCHK provides appropriate referral guidance. This balance of expertise, empathy and clinical responsibility sets the clinic apart.

Every spine deserves careful attention and a plan that makes sense. Discover how OCHK’s scoliosis programme can support assessment, treatment and long-term management.
