Physiotherapy · Da Nang
Find the movement.
Fix the pain.
Hands-on physiotherapy built on the Kinesiopathological Model (KPM). I find the movement that keeps loading the painful tissue, test it by changing it, then retrain it in the tasks you do every day.

Why it hurts
Injuries don’t come out of thin air
Every injury happens for a reason. Find that reason and fix it, and the relief lasts. Skip it, and the pain keeps finding its way back.
Traumatic
A bad landing, a fall, a tackle, a knee that twists and tears an ACL. The moment is obvious. But how you moved before it, and how you move after it, plays a big part in how well you recover and whether it happens again.
Non-traumatic
A movement habit repeated thousands of times. A desk posture held for years. A lift that has been slightly off for months. Nothing dramatic happens, until one day the tissue stops coping and starts to hurt.
Either way, the pain is where the story ends, not where it starts. Rest, painkillers and injections can quiet it for a while. But if the reason is still there, so is the problem, and it tends to come back the moment life asks the same thing of your body again.
Find the root cause. Fix it. That is the only way I know to get relief that lasts.
So I don’t chase symptoms. I look for the movement or habit that keeps loading the injured tissue, settle the pain with hands-on treatment and the right exercises, then rebuild how you move until the old pattern is gone and the new one holds under the load your life asks for.
Where it hurts
What I treat

Low back
Back pain when sitting, bending or standing. Sciatica-type leg pain. Flare-ups that keep coming back.

How it works
Diagnose the movement first
Pain tells you where. Movement tells you why. Every plan starts with a kinetic diagnosis: the movement or position that provokes your symptoms, confirmed by changing it and feeling the symptoms change.
of 04
Movement assessment
A full kinetic assessment of how you sit, stand, bend, reach and lift. It can run past an hour if your case needs it.
of 04
Your plan
A kinetic diagnosis, a corrective exercise plan, a strategy to ease your symptoms and an estimated number of sessions.
of 04
Retrain and load
Practise the corrected movement in the tasks you actually do, then load it until it holds without pain.
Why most sessions are practice: in a trial on chronic low back pain, practising corrected movement inside everyday activities led to modestly greater improvement in daily function than general strength and flexibility exercise, and the difference was still there a year later (Van Dillen et al., JAMA Neurology, 2021).
What to expect
Active care, not just pain relief
Many clinics treat pain with machines, massage or injections. You lie down, it is done to you, and it often feels better for a while. My sessions ask more of you, because the aim is to change why it hurts.
Passive treatment
Heat packs, electrical stimulation, ultrasound, massage, cupping, steroid injections.
- Your role: you lie down while the treatment is done to you.
- Focus: the spot that hurts.
- A session: often the same routine every visit.
- Between sessions: little or nothing to do.
- Results: often short-term relief, because whatever keeps irritating the area has not changed.
Movement-based care
How I work, using the Kinesiopathological Model.
- Your role: you move, I test, and we practise together.
- Focus: the movement or position that keeps irritating the area.
- A session: each one builds on the last, from correcting the movement to loading it.
- Between sessions: a short home program and small changes to how you sit, stand and lift.
- The goal: you need me less over time, because the cause has changed.
Come ready to move. Wear clothes you can bend and squat in, expect to work during the session, and expect homework. In your first session we test whether changing a movement changes your symptoms, so you see the logic from day one.
Hands-on treatment still has a place when it supports the exercise. For low back pain, the UK’s NICE guideline recommends exercise, allows manual therapy only as part of a package that includes exercise, and advises against ultrasound, TENS and interferential therapy (NICE NG59, updated 2020). Steroid injections can calm pain in the short term, but they do not change what keeps irritating the tissue. In tennis elbow, people given a steroid injection were less likely to have recovered a year later than people given a placebo injection (Coombes et al., JAMA, 2013). In side-of-hip tendon pain, education plus exercise did better than an injection (Mellor et al., BMJ, 2018).
Programs
Four ways I can help
Every program starts with the same evaluation. What changes is the goal we build toward.
Back · neck · shoulder · elbow · hip · knee · foot
Pain care
For pain that comes and goes with how you move. Find the movement that drives it, correct it, then retrain it in your daily tasks.
Read: Back pain when you sit vs when you stand →Hip and knee arthritis
Joint health
A conservative plan for early hip and knee arthritis, with a yearly re-test against your first measurements so changes are caught early.
Read: Hip and knee arthritis: moving well with the joints you have →Tendons · overuse · return to sport
Sport injury
Tendon and overuse injuries, then a staged return to your sport with clear criteria for each step.
Read: Jumper's knee: loading the tendon back →Desk work · physical work
Work-related pain
For pain built at work: long hours sitting, lifting, or the same task all day. We assess the postures and movements your job asks for, then change them.

Real cases, real progress
Short videos from real sessions: what each client came in with, the movement we found, and where they got to.

Safety first
When to see a doctor first
Physio is the right first step for most aches and pains. See a doctor before booking, or call 115 in an emergency, if you have any of these:
- Numbness around the groin or buttocks, or new trouble controlling your bladder or bowel
- Weakness in a leg or arm that is getting worse
- Back pain with fever, unexplained weight loss or a history of cancer
- Pain after a fall, a crash or another major injury
- Chest pain, or pain that does not change at all with movement or rest
If your intake form shows any of these, I will tell you and point you to the right doctor before we start.
Questions
Before you book
Do I need an X-ray or MRI first?
Usually not. Most problems can be diagnosed with a hands-on assessment. I refer you for imaging if there are red flags, a major injury or signs of structural damage that need a medical opinion.
Can I keep training while I rehab?
In most cases, yes, with changes. Training the right muscles and movements usually helps recovery, and your plan says what to modify.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on the problem. You get an estimate at the end of your evaluation, before you pay for anything more. Complex injuries that need more than 6 sessions get a discount on follow-ups, explained on the pricing page.
Can we do it online?
We can talk your case through first in a free consultation, in person or by phone. The assessment itself needs to be hands-on, in person at My An Sport Center.
After rehab
Out of pain. Now what?
Rehab ends when the movement holds under load. From there, keep building.
