How Dr Wu treats spasticity
​Dr Wu begins with a comprehensive assessment of tone patterns, current function, personal goals and therapy needs. When appropriate, he performs ultrasound‑guided botulinum toxin injections to improve precision and comfort. Each patient then receives an individualised rehabilitation plan advice on therapy, stretches and medication optimisation. Follow‑up appointments review progress against goals and fine‑tune the dose and target muscles as needed.
