Growing up captivated by Jackie Chan's iconic kung fu films, I was particularly inspired by how he portrayed the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in healing and recovery. In The Karate Kid (2010), his character, Mr. Han, uses cupping therapy to treat the young protagonist's injuries, reflecting Chan's real-life practices.
Inspired by Jackie Chan's example, he embarked on his own journey to study acupuncture. He was drawn to the holistic approach of TCM, which not only addresses physical ailments but also nurtures the mind and spirit. Through my studies, he aims to integrate these ancient healing practices with modern wellness techniques, much like Jackie Chan has done throughout his career.

This healing experience sparked a passion for helping others through holistic care.
He has an interest in sports medicine and enjoys the challenge of treating complex conditions. Joe believes that a well-balanced body requires a multi-mechanism approach to healing, combining acupuncture with lifestyle guidance focused on diet, exercise, and long-term wellness.
