Physiotherapist

B.App. Sc. (Phty)

My name  is Colin Sau, director and physiotherapist at Evolution Health Clinic.

I'm excited to be part of your journey towards peak health and vitality. With over a decade of experience and a track record of successfully treating thousands of clients, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every individual I work with. I don’t just tackle symptoms—I dive deep to uncover and address the root causes of your discomfort.

My Approach: Remediate, Empower, Evolve. 

Remediate - I first start by finding the pain source, most of the time it is not where you think it is. I assess holistically meaning, I look at your WHOLE body not just the injured area. Doing so allows me to identify underlying dysfunctional movement patterns.

I am then able to implement my hands on techniques to restore normal movement and reduce your pain.

Empower - An exercise program follows to ensure you perform in a functional manner.

Evolve - Your pain is now managed. The insight you gain with me unlocks another level of performance that you never thought you had.

My Specialty

My field of interest is jaw pain and temporo-mandibular joint disorders and I have trained under the Dento-Myo-Arthopathy Concepts, a course that has been recently developed by dental specialists and TMJ physiotherapists. This field of study is quite niche and not many health professionals can perform specific hands on treatment techniques for the jaw. Check out my blog to learn more about TMJ issues.

I also offer calisthenics coaching, gym coaching for those wanting to develop a program that will optimize their performance.

Read my blog to find out more about what calisthenics is all about.

Why did I become a Physiotherapist?

Movement is everywhere in life. We need it, and it is one of the most important things in life. However when you no longer are able to move like you did before or you want to perform better, a physio can help you with that. This led me to study physiotherapy. This course has brought me skills to be able to understand human movement in every aspect. I can treat those that cannot walk, to athletes at the top of their game. In that regard, I am able to empower you to get over an annoying injury to maximising what your body can do.

The key is within you. I am here to help you find it.  

Interests

Calisthenics, gymnastics, motor sports.

Additional

I can speak Chinese (Teochew).
