Hi, I’m Clifford Cheung.
“This isn’t just a business for me — it’s a passion. My work is reflection of what I believe in. As well as treating pain, I aim to help everyone to be more empowered and clearer in their road to recovery.”

Cliff is the founder of Rejoice Family Physiotherapy and has over 15 years of experience in a wide range of settings, having worked in aged care, public and private hospitals and private clinics.
He was the Senior Orthopaedic Physiotherapist in North Shore Private for 5 years, being the designated Physio for Shoulder and Elbow surgeons in the hospital.
This is where he developed his special interests in complex shoulder and elbow conditions, having completed the Dr Lyn Watson Shoulder Course in 2013.
Having completed the Thoracic Ring Approach course in 2018, Cliff diagnoses and treats using the Connect Therapy framework (developed by Dr LJ Lee), which aims to find the root cause of the problem instead of just symptom management.
He is also skilled in Dry Needling, having the qualifications to perform Integrated Dry Needling on his patients since 2014.

My Approach
There has been more and more recent research showing that we feel pain because of a wide range of factors integrated together (Integrated Systems Model for Disability & Pain (ISM)). Therefore, best patient-centred care involves addressing the integrated function of multiple systems in the body.
We use the ConnectTherapy™ approach developed by Dr LJ Lee2014. This approach is the evolution of the Integrated Systems Model, where by finding out which task is meaningful for you to work in, and from assessing your movements with that task, find out the “driver” for your problem.
This makes our treatment highly patient centred, as we explain to you how your impairments can be explained by what we see, feel, and hear. Then it allows us to make treatment plans that are centred on your values and goals.
