Meet Dave!

David (Dave) is a leading Sports Physical Therapist in Fairfield County helping people to get back to the training they love. Dave completed his Certified Functional Manual Therapists in the United States and he passed with honors.  There are only 11 CFMTs in Connecticut, and Dave was a mentor to four of them when they were residents. Less than 1% of physical therapists achieve this rigorous certification.

 Dave is a former collegiate athlete and D1 gymnast, rock climber, pole vaulter, sprinter, hurdler, trail runner, fitness model, olympic lifter, powerlifter, and all-around athlete. He specializes in treating patients with acute (recent), chronic (old and nagging) and complex (nobody else can fix) injuries. In his free time, Dave enjoys working out, outdoor activities, and rock climbing.

 Dave offers you 20+ years of experience to help you get back to doing the things you love to do in life faster with longer-lasting results. During each session, we provide one one-on-one, hour-long, hands-on treatments in private rooms. We won’t just give you a hot pack and push you off to an aide to do some exercises. We will find the root cause of your pain and teach you how to fix your injury to stop it from coming back.
