Welcome!

My name is David and I combine hands on therapy with astute listening skills and physical assessment. I have continued to develop my expertise since 2007 with a focus on educating clients on how to better manage pain and improve strength and range of motion where possible. My approach is holistic, with an understanding that our diet, sleep quality, previous injury and mental and emotional state are just some aspects that can influence our musculoskeletal system. I have collaborated with health professionals since 2007 at a private physiotherapy rehabilitation clinic in Adelaide where I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience while working in this reputable healthcare setting.

I am supportive and skilled, I listen to what the person and their bodies have to say and craft each massage to suit the individual.

Philosophy

“Our body has an innate ability to heal itself. Due to physical or emotional traumas or otherwise, this ability can be reduced, often accompanied by some form of compensatory habit in the musculoskeletal system. My role is to bring awareness, facilitate restoration of balance and function, improve lymphatic drainage and offer guidance for continued healing and improvement.”
