David has 30-years’ experience in the conservative management of patients presenting with an array of sports, spinal and musculo-skeletal injuries. Over this time David has utilised his own experience in high-level competitive rowing as well as extensive experience covering a range of sports including rugby, gymnastics, football, basketball and netball to assist athletes of all sports, ages and abilities, to participate injury-free to the best of their capability. A hallmark of David’s practice is continuing professional development, demonstrated by his undertaking of the Masters of Sports Medicine, publishing research on ‘Shin Splints’, presenting research on Non-surgical management of ACL injuries, mentoring of undergraduate physiotherapy students and the strong relationship with Specialists developed over many years.

As well as extensive experience in the treatment of sporting injuries and post-surgical rehabilitation, David has experience treating workplace and motor vehicle injuries, acute post-surgical joint replacement rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery patients. Over the past 12 years David has incorporated rehabilitative ultrasound imaging (RUSI) assessment and rehabilitation of core abdominal and back musculature into this conservative approach. The integration of RUSI into the practice has also meant the more accurate (and speedy) rehabilitation of shoulder, hip, men’s and women’s health issues.
