Hi, I’m David.
I am a physical therapist with a deep passion for helping those in pain get out of pain. Medical training teaches us to see ourselves as parts, so it's easy to lose sight of the whole. My knack is meeting you where you are, and seeing whatever issues you bring in light of your whole experience and life. The science of the human body can meet intuition and presence.
I'd love to hear from you.
How it works
What I Do
What is
physical therapy?
Physical Therapy is a broad set of modalities that improve movement, restore function, reduce pain, and prevent and repair disability through non-surgical and non-drug interventions.
I came to be a physical therapist because it worked for me, where other modalities had either done nothing or only helped a bit, before I went back to a steady state of pain.
What was the difference? At its core, physical therapy is premised on the ancient knowledge that the body itself is the healer. Unlike most of western medicine, its aim is to put the patient in control--no need for drugs, or surgery, just a simple set of tools to help you recover and improve. PT can help facilitate the healing that the body wants to happen, and we have a lot of ways to do that. Easy, straightforward and universal. So why choose me?
The Catch. . .
Unfortunately, much of PT has lost its way. Big Box PT where a given therapist sees 2, 3, or even 4 patients at a timehas become pretty standard. It has dramatically lowered the quality of PT. Lots of PTs are still great; it's honestly the fault of the American Medical System. Sorry to go there so directly and right away, but I want you to know that I offer something different: one-on-one treatment that doesn't see you as a specific body part with a specific injury, but as a whole person who lives, breathes, eats, moves, loves, dreams, and yes, suffers.
This approach can lead to dramatic improvement in a short amount of time, and most importantly it is premised on you recovering your independence--your mind-body is the healer, I am the facilitator.
