Dave is a vastly experienced Physiotherapist and has been practicing for over 25 years. With two degrees to his name, one in Human Movement Studies and one in Physiotherapy, Dave has a wealth of knowledge to draw on. At the start of his career Dave worked as a full time Physiotherapist in professional football. He was on the medical team for Barnet, AFC Bournemouth and the England U18 squad. Treating many well known players throughout his time in football including Michael Owen, Steven Gerrard, Joe Cole, Peter Crouch and Eddie Howe. As well as working in football Dave has also worked as a consultant Physiotherapist with the English Institute of Sport treating elite athletes from various disciplines to help rehabilitate them back from injury.

Dave then moved into private practice progressing to partner in a large multidisciplinary clinic before deciding to set up his own practice. Physio Fitness was then born in 2010 and has gone from strength to strength ever since.

Dave’s clinical interest is in degenerative injuries, sustained as part of the aging process, such as Arthritis. Dave is passionate in exploring various methods to promote a balanced, healthy lifestyle as we age allowing us to continue with our hobbies of choice. Over the last few years this has guided Dave towards cold water immersion and breathing techniques. Dave is a trained Wim Hof instructor and teaches this both at the clinic and across the country.

Away from the clinic Dave continues to play 11 a side football, is a keen cyclist and walker out in the Dorset countryside and escapes away to snowboard whenever he can.
