His approach incorporates elements of periostial bodywork, interconnectedness technique, cranio-sacral therapy, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and acupressure, all tailored to the individual. After relocating to Sarasota, Florida more than 12 years ago, Dave continues to provide specialized treatment for clients dealing with chronic pain, injury-related tension, and long-standing musculoskeletal issues.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
First thing is the greeting, and the the intake form. Once that's done we move into the treatment room. You'll tell me the symptoms that you are experiencing. I'll explain what I'm seeing, and what treatment path I decided to take. I'll leave the room and you'll get on the table and I'll start the treatment. I don't believe in deep invasive work. You will at times feel discomfort, but it will never be excessive. Many client fall asleep during the session. I will ask questions throughout the session. When done we will discuss how you feel now. Then we will discuss treatment plans.
