Sports Injury Rehabilitaion

 Dr Dave melds chiropractic and sports physiotherapy to provide support for the healing process, and transitioning you back to activity quickly and safely.

Injuries  can occur, and repetitive stress commonly builds up in the body during  training. I help by reducing recovery time and encouraging proper  biomechanics throughout the healing process.

Whether you're a professional athlete or a weekend warrior, we can help you recover from sports injuries and get back in the game. This includes explosive and endurance athletes, to maker's, artists, gardeners, builders, young soccer players, marathon runners, and gym enthusiasts.
