David is skilled at treating chronic and complex issues and he believes an effective treatment requires an extensive look at your health and injury history coupled with a thorough assessment.

David’s treatment style is unique and you will likely be moving during treatment. Please bring or wear active clothing so he can access the area of concern and you can comfortably move. Treatment will happen while you are clothed.
