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.

David’s clinical framework can be summed up as: “just because something is tight doesn’t mean it needs to be stretched, just because something is sore doesn’t mean it needs to be massaged; what hurts is rarely the source of your pain or dysfunction”.
