Dr Nathan Wu
Osteopath
Clinics: Ferntree Gully & Seville
Specialities: Sports rehabilitation, injury recovery
Nathan is an osteopath who is passionate about helping people manage pain, understand their bodies and get back to doing the things they enjoy.
Nathan completed his Bachelor of Health Science / Applied Science (Osteopathy) at RMIT University and has gained experience working with a wide range of people, including athletes, older adults, office workers and tradespeople. These experiences have helped shape his approach to care, where he considers not only a person's physical symptoms, but also the biological, psychological and social factors that may influence their recovery, along with what they want to achieve.
A hands-on approach to recovery
Nathan combines hands-on osteopathic treatment with education and exercise rehabilitation, tailoring his approach to each person's individual complaint, goals and lifestyle.
For Nathan, helping someone recover isn't just about managing their pain. He wants his patients to leave feeling more confident and informed about what they're experiencing, with a clear understanding of their treatment plan, expected timeframes and how their recovery relates to their personal goals.
He takes the time to listen to his patients, explain what may be contributing to their symptoms and work with them to develop a clear and realistic pathway forward.
Exercise, sport and rehabilitation
Nathan has a strong personal interest in exercise and sport. Having played volleyball and spent many years training in the gym, he has a practical understanding of exercise, movement and gym technique, and enjoys applying this knowledge to rehabilitation.
He is particularly interested in developing his skills in sports rehabilitation and injury recovery, while continuing to broaden his experience across a wide range of conditions and patient groups.
Outside the clinic, Nathan enjoys volleyball, bouldering, hiking, travelling and watching movies.
Nathan is committed to continually developing his clinical knowledge through current research, mentorship and further professional development. His long-term goal is to make a positive impact on his patients while eventually supporting and mentoring the next generation of osteopaths.
Nathan is primarily based at Rapid Recovery Ferntree Gully, with appointments also available at Rapid Recovery Seville.
