Since graduating, David has worked in private practice and with elite athletes at Cardiff City Football Club, specialising in injury rehabilitation and return-to-sport performance.

Treatment philosophy

David believes that every athlete is individual. Whether you are a competitive club player or someone who has just discovered pickleball, your treatment plan, rehab programme and coaching sessions are built around your body, your sport and your goals – not a generic protocol.

Evidence-based, athlete-centred care

Treatment is grounded in current research and informed by real-world experience working with elite athletes and everyday players alike.

Sport-specific from day one

Assessment, rehabilitation and coaching all consider the specific demands of racquet sports. Getting you back on court – and keeping you there – is the measure of success.

Injury is rarely bad luck. Understanding why it happened is the first step to making sure it doesn't happen again.

A former county-level golfer and keen all-round sportsman, David brings first-hand sporting experience to every consultation and coaching session. That background – combined with clinical experience at Cardiff City Football Club and in private practice – means patients and players get a physiotherapist who genuinely understands what it means to compete and what it takes to get back to doing it.
