MCSP, BSc (Hons), Grad Dip Phys, Dip MDT, Dip Injection Ther, Cert Ed, NLP Master Practitioner, Cert Life Coach.

I was brought up in Barnstaple, North Devon and qualified as a physiotherapist in 1987. I then moved to Canada to live and work, where I gained a lot of experience working in various areas of rehabilitation. I returned to live in Barnstaple in 1990 and developed useful skills and experience in many areas of physiotherapy that would become so useful to me later.

I set up my own business in 1996 supplying rehabilitation services to a range of clients including G.P. practices, Government organisations such as the Royal Marines and the Police and also the general public. Since that time I have expanded to work with Barchester Healthcare Group providing services to staff and residents in their residential and nursing homes. I also work with health and fitness clubs and provide occupational rehabilitation to local businesses.

I began working with David Sanders several years ago and was impressed with him as a person and with his background and experience. I enjoy working with him and know we make a great team.

Our aim is to show as many people of all ages and abilities how to help themselves and become independent and self reliant. I have developed this web site because it will allow us to provide this service to a much larger audience.

MCSP, MSc, BSc, Grad Dip In Sports Physiotherapy

David graduated from Coventry University in 1992 gaining a degree in Physiotherapy and then spent the following 9 years developing specific skills related to the assessment and treatment of musculo-skeletal injury and rehabilitation. In 1997 he was awarded a Diploma in Sports Physiotherapy from Queen Mary and Westfield College in London.

Since 2000 he has developed a specific interest in pain and pain management and obtaining an MSc in this area in 2003 from Leicester University.  He also worked at the Bath Pain Management Unit that has both a national and international reputation for its work with adults and adolescents suffering with various chronic pain problems such as spinal pain and fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome. This has given him an extensive experience in the various aspects of pain management including:

  • Physical exercise and activity
  • Pacing
  • Goal setting
  • Mood management
  • Relaxation

David also gained excellent experience in cognitive-behavioral therapy and in understanding the numerous factors that may be involved in the development and maintenance of chronic pain.  This experience has given him the skills to manage the detrimental effects of this troublesome and often debilitating problem and enable people to take steps towards a more active and fulfilling lifestyle.

In the last three years his clinical work has been equally divided between chronic pain management and musculo-skeletal outpatient physiotherapy.
