You’re the 5th health professional I see for my testicular pain. And you’re the first one who could really identify my problem and fix it. I’m now pain-free. I will be forever grateful.
Robert G.
The pain really ruined my sex life. But with the sex log tool you gave me, I was better to understand my triggers and using the stretches you gave me, I’m finally able to have sex again.

This is very hard one me. My girlfriend doesn’t understand me. You’re the first person who really understands me. Nobody ever asked me the questions you’re asking me.
Your instructor.
Di (Woody) Wu
M.Sc PT, MMed, MBBS, Cert. MDT
Di Wu trained as a medical doctor and completed his residency in Beijing. He practiced as an Orthopedic Surgeon for several years, before establishing himself in Montreal, Canada. In Montreal, he attended physical therapy school at McGill university where he was the first man to enrol in the pelvic floor course. He adapted his learning from that course, which solely focused on women, to be able to effectively treat men.
Over the past decade, drawing inspiration from his background as a doctor and as a PT, he has built a framework to help him get repeatable and reliable treatment results for treating male pelvic pain. After almost a decade of refinement and conducting studies to corroborate the findings, Di has solidified the framework. He now shares his knowledge and passion about male pelvic pain nationally and internationally with PTs who are interested in treating male pelvic pain.

What do patients think of the treatments given by an IPC certified physio?
Our patient, Dr. James McDaniel, has a special background as an ankle and foot surgeon. Treating another colleague, another medical professional, is not easy. The treatment has to make sense and has to be very structured. This is what IPC offers. Structured clinical reasoning, fun and engaging treatments.
16 hours of content you won't find anywhere else. Practical and applicable in clinic. And it's fun!

Q&A

You bet! At IPC, we follow the zero to hero philosophy. This means that even if you haven't had any pelvic floor training before, after taking the course you will be comfortable treating your male patients.
In addition, our practical lab, which is included in the course will allow you to practice on real people, so when you see your first patient in the clinic you will already be comfortable.
-
No! At IPC, we know that pelvic floor treatments in women versus men is very different because if we consider the anatomical, physiological and psychological aspects, there are big differences.
Of course, there are some commonalities, but it’s different enough that it warrants a specific training specialized in male pelvic health in order to be able to learn how to treat male patients successfully. A simple analogy is to compare baking a pie to baking a cake. Just because you can bake a pie doesn't mean you can bake a cake and vice versa, although both acts are related to baking.
-
Yes, during our last course in Chicago, several physios had over 10 years of pelvic health experience and some even completed their APTA residency in pelvic floor (the highest level of continuing education for pelvic health), and the Masterclass still transformed their practice.
The reason the Masterclass transformed their practice is because the information taught in the course is unique and based on the latest evidence.

You can ask your questions directly to the course instructor Woody at di@ipc.health.
Your patients will be grateful for the new treatments you will have learned.
My experience with Di Wu and the difference he has made in my health in a very short time is beyond my expectations. After seeing multiple physiotherapists and doctors for a hernia problem that was causing specific pain, numbness and discomfort in my back, lower abdomen and groin area, I was referred to Di Wu. From the first visit (in Laval, then Montreal), I was able to see the level of expertise and knowledge he has for the pelvic area by doing evaluations and tests that went far beyond what others had tried. Even in the first visit, he made me do exercises that almost immediately reduced my pain. Every visit since has brought noticeable improvement with new exercises, and a more thorough understanding of my issues each time.
What I appreciate most is the knowledge he shares and how he helps you understand your body better so you can age in better health. His examples, explanations and analogies are very helpful and understanding what happened, what is currently happening and where you are ultimately going physically. The pain and discomfort related to my hernia is now 90% gone after only 4-5 visits, and I feel confident I now have the tools to manage things if I temporarily feel discomfort. As a 37 year old who values his health immensely, I was worried I may struggle with regaining my full health and mobility. However, I now feel I will age better thanks to the care I have received. I have even achieved something I have tried unsuccessfully for years to learn through meditation, yoga and other methods: how to breathe properly during exercises, in my everyday life and during anxious moments. His explanation of breathing and the effect it has on your body physically has allowed me to better understand the mind-body connection and apply breathing exercises.
I can't recommend Di Wu enough if you have issues and have tried different options and are looking to receive the best expertise possible. You are rewarded with the efforts and patience you put in with these exercises, and rest assured, the tools you are given are invaluable.
