41- Men's Pelvic Health using MDT with Di Wu


Listen Later

💭” There is supporting evidence using MDT in the pelvic population. People are aware that spine issues can refer to pain in the pelvic area but there is not a good way so far to rule out the spine efficiently.” - Di Wu

MDT, MSc(A), MMed, BMedSc, and Director of the V-Active clinic where he provides services for a wide diversity of health conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, male pelvic-related issues, vestibular problems, chronic disease management, and sports injuries. He also has a background as a medical doctor in orthopedic surgery in China, specializing in trauma and spine injuries. As a physiotherapist, Di has developed a strong interest and focus in helping men suffering from pelvic pain and dysfunction.
