CCTV footage will form part of the evidence of a physiotherapist from Sydney’s north shore who is alleged to have ‘massaged’ the breasts of a female patient without her consent.
Wah Fu Wong, also known as Ray Wong, was charged with two counts of sexually touching a female patient without her consent, one being an aggravated charge as she was under his care, in May.
Wong, 37, from Chatswood is the head physiotherapist and director of Active Motion Physiotherapy and Wellness Clinic on Blaxland Road.

The physiotherapist, who has pleaded not guilty to the charges, was excused as his matter was heard for a brief mention at Burwood Local Court on Monday.
In court, his lawyer said he maintained his not guilty pleas and that CCTV footage will be used as evidence at his hearing.
Magistrate Greg Grogin said, “These are fairly serious charges.”
According to police facts, Wong is alleged to have “placed both his hands on top of the woman’s breasts and massaged them” between 10am and 1pm on May 13.
Wong who specialises in pelvis and foot biomechanics and neuromuscular functions has a second clinic on Spring Street in Chatswood.
He has previously worked with a range of professional athletes and at Castle Towers Medical before opening his Ryde physiotherapy in 2010, according to his clinic’s bio page.
His bail conditions include not being able to perform any physical treatments on female clients in person and not to contact the complainant.
In a previous statement Wong said: “These allegations against me are completely untrue. I have run a professional physiotherapy practice without incident for 10 years and everything I have done in my practice has been in accordance with the principles of delivering the appropriate treatment to my clients. I look forward to defending these spurious allegations in court and clearing my name”.
Wong will appear at the same court next April for his hearing which is expected to take one day.
