Episode description

💭“It’s difficult to treat contractile dysfunction because people are not identifying it correctly. “ - Duc Nguyen

👉🏻 Our guest is Duc Nguyen, PT, Dip. MDT. Duc earned his physiotherapy degree at McGill University in 2009. Ever since he has developed an expertise in the assessment and treatment of musculoskeletal problems, a field he is still very passionate about. Since his graduation, Duc has taken various courses in biomechanics, pain science, and manual therapy, but became especially interested in the “Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy” (MDT) system, in which he obtained his Certification in 2013. From the moment Duc started applying the MDT principles, he has seen a marked acceleration in his patients’ recovery. This motivated him to pursue and obtain the Diploma in MDT in 2016. He continues to work in private practice and sees a variety of spinal and extremity cases.
