Philosophy of care
“A physical therapist is a skillful facilitator, communicator and motivator of patient recovery. I focus on maximizing function, combining manual skills, exercise, kinesiology, biomechanics and education with the patient playing the most significant role in their recovery through a cooperative role. I want my patients to be actively engaged in participation of their rehabilitation and as more honest and open communication with their rehab professional.”
Why David went into therapy
“I have an admiration for the shared simplicity and complexity of human anatomy and physiology, and I have a strong desire to help people.”
Favorite advice to give patients
“Do your prescribed exercises!”
