Testimonials

  • "I have been experiencing pain in my back for the past 3 ½ years due to an injury from working out. I have tried different types of treatment with very limited results and was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. After my first appointment with David I felt significantly better. I have continued treatment and my back is doing better than at any time in the past 3 ½ years. I also had extreme tightness in my legs that developed while working from my home office during COVID-19. The tightness was gone after the first session and has not returned, which is simply amazing. In addition, I have a long-term issue with my foot that he has begun to address. I have seen some improvement in an area where I thought I needed to just live with the pain. The techniques that David uses are not painful in any way, which is different from my previous experience with Myofascial Release Therapy. I highly recommend David for anyone who is dealing with chronic pain."

  • "As a physical and craniosacral therapist myself, I appreciate David’s skill, knowledge and professionalism. When I first saw David, I was limping terribly and was waiting for a knee replacement. This limp caused strain throughout my body. His total body approach addressed the knee pain as well as my gait and spine tension. David’s approach helped me recognize the tension patterns throughout my body caused by the limping gait. I continued sessions with David after knee surgery as my body changed during recovery. Each session began and ended with a whole body assessment and review of my symptoms. David’s presence and individualization of the therapy added a deep healing experience to the treatment."

  • "David listens very carefully to what my problems are and I feel that he really brings improvement, most notably in misalignments of my feet, hips, and ribs that no other health practitioner was able to solve, or maybe understand. Generally, I am sleeping better. David has also brought me relief for headaches or nausea. I find it quite a miracle."

  • "It’s been difficult to find someone to treat me for pain. I have had 4 spinal surgeries and in 2011 I was diagnosed with transverse myleitis, my spinal cord is continually inflamed and often causes pain. I read about myofascial release, and then did a search and found David on line. He’s helped me move forward at a greater pace than any other professional. It’s really worth the long drive. It is truly amazing to me that David’s therapy helps me so much and I feel very lucky to have found him. David does a more newly developed system of therapy and it is hard to find people who are able to do it well."

  • "I had a bad fall a dozen or so years ago, and have had three back and neck operations over the years. I am in fairly constant pain, especially my shoulder. So when, after a long photo shoot, David invited me to ‘try the goods’, I went for it. After that hour, which has been more than two months ago, I have not felt a twinge of pain in my shoulder. Sounds like a miracle, but there you have it. I’m going to David regularly to work on other areas."

  • "Living with multiple chronic illness and permanent nerve damage that cause severe pain and dizziness for many years, I found myself grasping at straws to help myself. I am very sensitive to the medicines the neurologist prescribed. The pain and dizziness had become unbearable and I rarely had a better day. Having always been a strong and positive person I was not willing to give up on having a better life at the age of 61. Having tried acupuncture, the TENS unit, calmare treatments, cervical shots, PT, and various medicines among things over the years with limited success, I truly felt like giving up on ever feeling better. Then my husband and I attended a health and wellness fair at Colonial Heritage community where we have been living for 2-1/2 years, where we met and spoke with David and his wife Linda about integrative manual therapy: a noninvasive therapy that included craniosacral therapy and other therapeutic light touch techniques. Having lived with severe pain from a cervical fusion, spinal cord stenosis, spondylosis and cord damage for many years, along with small fiber peripheral neuropathy, I would welcome any relief from my symptoms. The most important thing was that I would not be further injured in any way. I can’t say enough to express my appreciation and gratitude for David’s sincere efforts in helping me to live a better life."
