Tuyen Nguyen – Primal Myotherapist

Introducing Tuyen:

Hello! My name is Tuyen, and I am a Myotherapist here at Primal Physiotherapy. I completed my studies at RMIT with a Diploma of Remedial Massage and an Advanced Diploma of Myotherapy. I’ve been in the industry for a couple of years and I will continue working towards always learning and accumulating knowledge as a Myotherapist, in hopes to go back and teach Myotherapy in the future.

Growing up I was a Ballet/Jazz dancer and swimmer. Nowadays I am constantly chasing the feeling of performing and dancing, so I began doing aerial Silks and competing in both Silks and Pole dancing. Outside of the clinic, you can find me training in the gym, training silks, or planning for my next food travel adventure!

I knew I always wanted to choose a career where I could work with a wide range of people and that’s within the healthcare industry. I have a great fascination with the anatomy and physiology of the human body, and also with the techniques of manual therapy including deep and soft tissue massage, dry needling, cupping and gentle mobilisations to provide pain relief and improved mobility. I enjoy taking a holistic approach, and educating my clients on what’s going on within their body and how I can provide that relief, to create a positive and long-lasting impact.

For several years I was a swimming teacher and it piqued my interest in working with pediatric clients and young athletes. A big achievement of mine within my career is having the privilege to participate in sports events including junior basketball programs, competitive swimming events and powerlifting competitions, providing Myotherapy treatments and sports massages for the athletes.

Throughout my Myotherapy career, it’s been very rewarding seeing clients go from presenting with a symptomatic issue, to then result with no pain and back to activities they once loved. I believe in being an observer in both my professional life and in my personal life. I believe it’s important to have an eye for detail, there’s no linear formula when it comes to my treatment, because every person and body is different! I enjoy being able to problem-solve and hear what a client is presenting me with so that I can create individualized treatment plans for my clients, helping them towards their goals of recovery.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, and I hope to see you soon here at Primal.
