About

​I hold a BSc.(Hons) Sport & Exercise Science degree from Leeds Beckett University, with specialisation in sport and exercise injury prevention and rehabilitation. Along my journey I have obtained additional experience, knowledge and qualifications in sports massage therapy and personal training.
​
I have worked with professional, semi-professional and amateur athletes most prominently footballers, runners, cyclists, triathletes and freedivers, assisting them to achieve their goals and stay injury free in their respective sports. Most of all I simply enjoy helping people get better!

I have developed a distinctive treatment programme that combines soft tissue therapy (massage) with strengthening / rehabilitative exercises to ensure a more complete, long lasting and holistic treatment for the client.

I now live in Dahab, Egypt and and am happy to offer my experience and services to the wonderful people that live or visit here.

Overview of Treatments

Through experience I have found the best way to rehabilitate from a physical injury is by incorporating a range of complimentary treatments and therapies for the client, including:
  • Massage (sports / deep tissue / remedial / relaxation)
  • Osteopathic Techniques
  • Personal Training (strengthening / mobility / stretching / ROM exercises)
  • Injury Rehabilitation Exercise
  • Myofascial Cupping
  • Assisted Stretching
  • TENS & EMS Treatments
  • Acupressure
  • Exercise Prescription (utilising Rehab My Patient™ Software)​

Combining soft tissue therapy (massage) and exercise rehabilitation following an injury is a fantastic way to get back to fitness quickly and to prevent further injuries from happening. 

Testimonials

I have a disk degeneration problem and as a result my vertebrae can easily slip and fracture. I suffer from chronic tightness and discomfort as a result. NOTHING relieved the aches, until I started getting sports massage treatment with David monthly and working with him to strengthen my back muscles. David is incredibly calming and caring, he will go above and beyond to make sure you’re getting the right treatment for YOU. I can’t recommend him enough – and actually regularly do!
