After 18 months of pain, depression, and disability, that was not improved with spinal surgery, I was lucky enough to meet David. From day-1 he reassured me I had the potential to make full recovery. I was naturally dubious, yet after just 3 sessions I was already able to bend again and put on my own socks and have since returned to a fully functioning life that is no longer dominated by pain. Knowing where I was and how far I have come in such a short time, this is nothing short of a miracle.
David has done so much more for me than physical therapy. He has taught me about the psychology of chronic pain and given me the tools to rethink this. These tools are applicable to every aspect of life and not just pain. I never anticipated how far reaching the benefits would be. David is a true healer and I’m forever grateful for having met him. I just wish I had found him sooner!

As far as I am concerned 50 years of practice makes perfect. Your ministrations of my knees and back have always had positive results. But you are holistic in your approach and your advice on how to walk, what pain to endure and overcome, and how to maintain a positive mind set to defer the striations of age, live with me every day. I come to you for the physical and leave with the mind healed as well. To be told that inside my crotchety seventy plus year old body there is a supple man wanting to get out gives me succour for weeks.

When I first met David, I had very little understanding of what my condition was. I had long-covid, and after doing a lot of research there didn't seem to be a clear explanation about what was going on in my brain/body. I struggled a lot with anxiety, fatigue, gastro issues & HR problems. David taught me a lot about pain knowledge & introduced me to some amazing books, which had incredible information in them. Explaining what happens in our brain/bodies during chronic conditions. When I first saw David I could just about walk for 20 mins on some days & barely get in an Uber. Less than two months later, I am now able to play football again, go to the gym & start to l live a normal life. He has been a great coach & guidance to get back to full health.
I entered David's practice in despair and in excruciating pain.
I suffered from a herniated disk in my lower back that was compressing my sciatic nerve. I had previously been misdiagnosed, undergone an epidural, and was heading for the surgeon's scalpel.
Fortunately, I was referred to David by a family member and I genuinely owe him a huge debt of gratitude. David is a master of understanding the role of psychology, neurology, and physiotherapy in dealing with the manifestation of pain. He shares this knowledge with his patients and this knowledge becomes the foundation stone of your recovery.
After a comparatively short journey with David, I made a full recovery and I am now able to resume activities that only a few months ago would have been impossible. I also avoided the terrifying prospect of surgery. This is all due to David's guidance and considerable talents.
I would not hesitate to recommend David to friends, colleagues, and family. My only advice would be to listen and to trust the process!
I was introduced to David back in 2001/2 suffering from severe ankle,feet and knee pains. I was a healthy 35 year old but unable to walk 20m without crippling pain.
After numerous mis-diagnosis from medical specialists and a vast range of drugs administered, I was so relieved to discover David’s amazing understanding of the body and mind connection, especially when looking at complex regional pains.
Within a couple of treatment sessions the difference in mobility and reduction in pain was unbelievable. After 6 months I was able to put in a brisk 10km walk along the rocky Devon coastline. He helped me successfully break the spiral of depression that pain brings.
I will always be indebted to David and his incredible knowledge and have recommended his practice to numerous friends and family who have all made dramatic improvements in mobility and pain management.
Thank you.
