About David

​

David is a highly qualified and experienced Chartered Physiotherapist, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Acupuncturist.

He graduated from Cardiff University with a First-Class Honours degree in Physiotherapy and has since developed a diverse and advanced clinical portfolio spanning elite sport, private practice, and NHS environments.

​

Professional Experience

​

David’s career has included work across high-performance sport and multidisciplinary clinical settings, including:

​

• Cardiff City Football Club

• Welsh Netball and Super League Netball

• Ironman and Ultra-endurance events

• Competitive surfing environments

• NHS clinical services

• Private practice and event physiotherapy provision

​

This breadth of experience allows him to confidently manage clients ranging from general population presentations to elite-level athletes competing at the highest standards.

​

Integrated Rehabilitation & Performance Philosophy

​

Throughout his career, David has refined a distinctive approach that integrates injury rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, movement re-education, and selected principles drawn from both Western and Eastern therapeutic models.

His clinical work spans diverse movement disciplines including:

​

• Football

• Dressage

• Rhythmic gymnastics

• Golf

• Tennis/Squash

• Surfing and Stand-Up Paddle-boarding

• CrossFit

• Triathlon

​

Central to his practice is a deep understanding of movement mechanics, loading strategies, and performance progression. His passion lies in re-educating movement patterns, identifying inefficiencies, and building structured pathways that optimise both recovery and performance longevity.

​

Bridging Rehabilitation to Performance

​

David has a particular interest in advanced rehabilitation and “bridging the gap” between injury recovery and return to play.

He works closely with individuals who are driven to train, compete, and perform — guiding them not only back to activity, but toward levels of function and resilience that exceed pre-injury capacity.

A key component of his work involves maintaining training around injury wherever appropriate, reducing detraining effects, and addressing both the physiological and psychological impact of injury. This integrated approach ensures individuals remain engaged, empowered, and progressing throughout the rehabilitation process.

​

Relocation to Cornwall

​

In 2019, David relocated to Cornwall, bringing with him extensive experience from elite sport, clinical practice, and performance environments. He now applies this expertise to support and develop the local community — from aspiring athletes to seasoned competitors and active individuals.
