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.
