Jingqi Wang joined the UP team in the summer of 2024. Originally from Harbin, she received her degree at the Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine followed by obtaining her Master’s at Hohai University.

Along with helping other’s to heal, Jingqi enjoys Pilates – she appreciates how the practice helps to enhance body awareness. It also allows her to better understand and guide her patients in performing specific movements, while bringing her the added benefit of helping to maintain her own health.

This is one of the biggest reasons why Jingqi decided to join UP – she loves how the clinic embraces educational concepts while providing patients with high quality medical services through innovated teaching methods paid with scientific treatment plans. She adds that, “UP also offers a wealth of authoritative educational resources, allowing therapists to continuously improve in their professional field … the work environment is warm and friendly, with colleagues offering mutual support and assistance. The atmosphere is filled with enthusiasm and vitality, fostering a collaborative and positive work culture that inspires and motivates everyone.”

Her passion for her work and personal growth is resounding in how she helps others, along with the words he shares. Read on to learn more about Jingqi’s care for patients and how she pursued his career into physical therapy:

I first decided to become a physical therapist because even when I was a child I always felt that professionals in the healthcare industry possessed a kind of ‘halo effect.’ They help patients regain their health through their expertise, and this ability deeply moved me. I hope that through my efforts, I can help more people restore their health and improve their quality of life.

Throughout my childhood, my biggest role model was my mother. She not only worked diligently but also consistently upheld the principles of integrity and kindness. She taught me how to face challenges, how to care for others, and always lead by example, encouraging me to pursue my dreams. From her, I learned so much—not just about career aspirations, but also about attitudes and values in life. I firmly believe that someone who excels in one field can also achieve excellence in others.

I once treated a middle-aged female patient who suffered from shoulder pain and limited mobility due to a rotator cuff injury. She was unable to perform daily activities like dressing and combing her hair, which significantly impacted her quality of life. She had tried various treatment methods before, but with little success.

When I first saw her, I conducted a thorough assessment and, based on her physical examination results, developed a personalized treatment plan for her. After several months of treatment, her pain significantly decreased, and her range of motion improved considerably. This experience deeply reinforced my sense of value as a physical therapist and strengthened my commitment to helping patients. I realized that physical therapy is not only about restoring physical function but also about helping patients regain their confidence and independence in life.

I believe that a patient’s understanding of rehabilitation directly affects their willingness to actively engage in treatment. Many patients, due not fully recognizing the importance of rehabilitation, miss the optimal window for recovery and ultimately need more time and effort to make up for what they have lost. As a physiotherapist, our responsibility is to help patients properly understand the progression of their condition and implement scientific intervention methods.

As a physical therapist, I believe that rehabilitation is a personalized process that requires a comprehensive assessment of the patient’s physical condition, needs, and goals. I focus on scientific, systematic treatment methods and continuous improvement in my professional field, combining patient education to help them gradually restore function, enhance self-management skills, and ultimately achieve comprehensive recovery.
