Sports Medicine. Performance Medicine.
Personalized to You.
Helping you recover, stay active, and perform at your best—through injuries, illness, and everything in between.
For anyone who wants to stay active, get back to what they love, or simply feel their best.
We care for active people across the lifespan, from young athletes to adults pursuing fitness, longevity, and performance. Whether you are dealing with an injury, working toward a performance goal, returning to activity, or facing an unexpected illness or minor injury, our care is tailored to you.
Your goals do not have to be competitive. If something matters to you, it matters to us.
Who We Serve
Our Approach
Expert care. Personalized to you.
At NW Sports & Performance Medicine, we believe good sports medicine starts with understanding the person, not just the injury. We take the time to understand your health, lifestyle, activities, and goals so that your care fits your life—not the other way around.
As a board-certified Sports Medicine physician with a Certificate of Added Qualification in Sports Medicine (CAQSM), I combine specialized sports medicine training with detailed physical examination, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, evidence-based treatment, procedural care, and individualized return-to-activity planning.
Whether you are recovering from an injury, working toward a performance goal, or navigating an unexpected illness or acute injury, my goal is to understand what is holding you back and create a thoughtful, personalized plan to help you move better, stay active, and do more of what you love.

Meet Dr. Natalie Wu
Sports Medicine Physician | Athlete | Founder, NW Sports and Performance Medicine
I am a fellowship-trained Sports Medicine physician with a background in Emergency Medicine and training at Stanford University School of Medicine. My practice focuses on evidence-based, non-operative care for sports and musculoskeletal injuries, performance goals, and helping people stay active throughout every stage of life.
I am also an athlete. I competed in collegiate Track & Field, qualified for USATF Nationals eight times, and competed nationally with the Stanford Triathlon Team. I have continued to pursue endurance sports throughout my medical career, including triathlon and ultramarathon, and am a Ironman and Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run finisher.
My experience as both a physician and athlete shapes how I practice: I want to understand not only what hurts, but why it happened, what is keeping you from your goals, and how we can build a realistic path forward.
Medicine should help you do more of what you love.
