Khang Nguyen Physiotherapist

Introducing Khang Nguyen.

Hi, I’m Khang! I hold a Bachelor of Applied Movement Science and a Master of Physiotherapy from Victoria University. My research project focused on optimal injury prevention for “Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (shin splints)”. Here at Primal®, I combine a deep clinical understanding of biomechanics with a genuine passion for the stories and goals of every patient I meet. I also work across Primal® Braybrook and Primal® Derrimut helping patients restore movement, reduce pain, and return to performance.

When I’m not in the clinic, I’m cleaning up after my dog or exploring new ways to physically challenge myself. I grew up immersed in swimming, racquet sports, karate, bouldering, and volleyball. Currently I’m quite invested into Muay Thai. I find the grit and diversity of character in combat sports gyms incredibly truly inspiring. It’s also super humbling being beaten up by people smaller and shorter than you.

Fun Fact: I once completed a half-marathon on zero sleep with only one month of proper training.
Professional Disclaimer: As your physio, I officially recommend you never, ever do this.

My interest is rooted in high performance environments. My experience at the Melbourne Victory Football Academy gave me a front row seat to the full spectrum of athlete care. I’ve managed elite players through every stage of their recovery. Immediate assessment at the point of injury, rehabilitation with tailored in gym recovery programming and finally performance with in game supervision and proactive injury prevention. I understand the frustrations of being sidelined by injuries when being active is such a big part of our goals and what keeps us happy.

My favourite part of this job is witnessing the unwavering optimism of my patients. Seeing someone stay positive despite a significant injury is inspiring, and it drives me to work even harder to help them reach their goals.

In our sessions, expect me to dive deep. I want to understand you as a person, your journey, your priorities, and what truly moves you.

Whether you are an elite athlete or just wanting to pick up your little ones pain free, I apply that same mentality to your journey. I don’t just aim to get you back to your baseline; I want to help you exceed it.
