Beyond clinical practice and product development, Professor Wong has consistently sought to translate professional medical knowledge into practical tools accessible to the wider public. The recognition reflects not only his professional achievements, but also his belief that health knowledge should be shared, empowering individuals to better care for themselves and their families.

In line with this mission, Professor Wong announces the launch of "The Pain Management CEO," a new video series personally hosted by him. The series is designed as a public-facing platform to pass on Traditional Chinese Medicine wisdom, guiding audiences toward a more informed, self-directed approach to managing pain in everyday life.

Making Health Knowledge Accessible

For decades, Professor Wong has focused his research and clinical work on chronic pain, post-exercise recovery, and circulation-related conditions commonly experienced in modern urban environments. He has observed that many pain conditions are not sudden occurrences, but the result of accumulated stress, postural imbalance, and lifestyle habits—issues that can often be managed more effectively with early awareness and consistent care.

"Pain is not something to fear or suppress," Professor Wong explains. "It is the body's way of communicating. When people understand what their pain is telling them, they can take timely action and prevent minor issues from becoming long-term problems."

This philosophy underpins his approach to public education, equipping individuals with the knowledge to recognize early warning signs, respond appropriately, and maintain physical balance over time.

A Framework for Self-Directed Pain Management

At the core of Professor Wong's work is a structured Upper–Middle–Lower Pain Management philosophy, developed through years of clinical experience. The framework encourages early intervention and continuous care, helping the body restore circulation, balance, and functional stability rather than relying solely on short-term relief.

"The Pain Management CEO" builds on this framework, encouraging viewers to see themselves as active decision-makers in their own health journey, the "CEO" of their body. Within the series, CEO stands for Care for Every Opportunity, underscoring the belief that every physical signal is a moment for timely attention and adjustment. Through clear explanations and practical demonstrations, the series shows how Traditional Chinese Medicine principles can be applied safely and effectively in daily routines.

From Expertise to Everyday Practice

The video series comprises 20 episodes, each focusing on a common pain condition or management challenge faced by urban populations, including neck and shoulder tension, lower-back discomfort, joint strain, post-exercise soreness, and chronic pain patterns.

Each episode demonstrates the use of Herbalgy's pain-care solutions, Touch-Cool, Herbalgy Medicated Balm, Herbalgy Analgesic Plaster, Carthami Flos Pain Relieving Oil, and Carthami Flos Analgesic Plaster, alongside simple self-care and massage techniques. Central to the series are the principles of dual herbal treatment and the "day-oil, night-plaster" system, offering a balanced rhythm of care that supports mobility during the day and recovery during rest.

By presenting these practices in an accessible and practical format, the series aims to bridge professional medical knowledge and everyday life.
