Spine Physiotherapy Geelong
With over 20 years in the industry, David is an experienced and skilled Physiotherapist.
For his first Physiotherapy job, David joined the innovative team at Spinal Management Clinics of Victoria. The role involved the exclusive management of chronic neck and back pain and provided the stimulus for a career long passion for helping patients with all varieties of spinal pain.
Since being inspired by his early work, David has worked diligently to maximise his skills and knowledge in the management of back and neck pain. His extra efforts to improve have included two post-graduate degrees, numerous professional development courses and the involvement in a number of university run research projects.
Clinically, David has worked in a wide variety of settings including football clubs, hospital wards, outpatient rehab, private practices and a multidisciplinary pain management program. That wide variety of settings has helped David understand treatment requirements at all stages of care.
When not working in the clinic, David also consults on the Clinical Panels at both WorkSafe Victoria and the TAC. David is also a casual tutor at LaTrobe University assisting the post-graduate Masters students on the Pain Sciences subject.

David works out of Geelong Rehabilitation Centre's Newcomb Clinic.
