He has a strong foundation in dealing with acute and chronic low back and neck pain, repetitive strain and rotator cuff injuries, in addition to all other musculoskeletal and neurological impairments that may occur from everyday and/or recreational activities. Tuan’s philosophy in rehabilitation is simple: concise assessment allows for precise detection of the root to the problem. Treating the cause and not the symptom equates to quicker recovery. Incorporating strength training to weak muscles and ensuring adequate flexibility to tight muscles will reduce the chances of future injuries or re-injuries. Balance and harmony in life is the key to healthy living.

While in Montreal, he gained experience as a Kinesiologist in multiple domains. He developed physical activity programming for children with special needs at Montreal’s Mackay Centre and for a summer camp at the Montreal Association for the Blind. He also gained experience designing and supervising exercise programs for seniors while working at a cardiac rehabilitation program and at a community centre for seniors. Tyler then moved back to Toronto where he received his Masters in Physical Therapy from the University of Toronto, acquiring a vast amount of training in orthopedic and sport physiotherapy while treating both hospital inpatients and outpatient clients.

Tyler’s style of therapy is a mix of both manual therapy techniques such as joint mobilization and myofascial release, along with active therapy where he uses specific and individualized progression of exercises to restore function, prevent re-injury and/or optimize performance. He has experience in numerous areas such as overuse injuries (eg: tennis elbow or rotator cuff tendinopathy), disc herniation, post-operative care (eg: joint-replacement or ligament repairs), sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction, back pain, whiplash associated disorders, weight loss, return to sport training, ligament sprains and muscle strains. Tyler believes that there is no textbook presentation of an injury or condition and therefore, no standardized treatment protocol. As such, he feels that to effectively manage his clients’ needs, treatments must be individualized, with special attention given to his client’s personal goals, abilities and time constraints. Tyler’s career as a physiotherapist has been the most rewarding experience of his life and he takes great pride in helping his clients to get out of pain and back into their lives.
