User:Ben Fung
Raised in San Diego, California - Dr. Ben Fung grew up skateboarding, snowboarding, and surfing. In his free time, he pursued musical instruments, was enthused by martial arts, and engaged in the endless exploration of "how the world works" as fueled by a tireless curiosity. After graduating secondary school, young Benjamin was conferred degrees from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) in Bioengineering (Bio-medical Engineering) and Psychology. Wishing to achieve a career which integrates the movement science, bio-physics, and medical applications with a compassionate understanding of the human experience, soul searching ensued. The usual course was followed; from the initial excitement, to the mid-path frustration, to the final eureka moment. The journey brought him from academic tutoring, to teaching secondary school, to seeking a professional music career, to bartending, to surf-bumming, all the way to the final goal - becoming a Physical Therapist.
Having himself been a patient of Physical Therapists in the past for a shattered ulna, sprained ankle, and a severe low back injury from snowboarding, the young Benjamin was encouraged by family, friends, and Physical Therapist co-workers to apply to graduate school for Physical Therapy. In 2009, the dream was realized and an Alpha Chi honor's doctorate in Physical Therapy was conferred to Doctor Ben Fung.
In 2010, the American College of Sports Medicine was kind enough to publish and present Dr. Fung's thesis: Aerobic and Anaerobic Work During Kettlebell Exercise: A Pilot Study (ACSM Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, Volume 42:5 Supplement). Since then, Dr. Fung continues to speak nationally on the science of kettlebell exercise, founded San Diego's Best Alternative Exercise Studio Finalist, "Kettlebell and PhysioKinetic Fitness" through Sharp Healthcare, established Kettlebell Therapy™ as a gateway to network with clients, patients, and enthusiasts. Additionally, he remains active in healthcare advocacy through social media and relishes the frequent opportunity to promote proactive pursuit of best health for all individuals.
Dr. Fung is happily married to a wonderful and lovely wife. They enjoy dates seeking local San Diego cuisine hot spots, walking through Balboa Park, Coronado Island, Disneyland, and casual strolls through local beach spots.
Currently Dr. Fung serves as the Director and Chief Practitioner for Kettlebell Therapy™, the Rehabilitation Director for the Remington Club in Rancho Bernardo, and a compassionate clinician to the clients & patients of his exclusive fee-for-service private practice.
