Dr. Paul Fong, D.C.
Founder & Chairman
Dr. Fong, with over two decades of experience in private practice focused on spinal health, identified a critical gap in awareness, especially among children.

With a committed team of board members and volunteers, the charity aims to make spinal health a collective priority in Hong Kong, promoting regular spine checks and early detection of conditions like scoliosis.
