David grew up in the Tampa Bay area and was an avid cyclist during his adolescent years. In college, he studied dance and chemistry. Upon graduation, he performed with ballet companies for three years. He also became a massage therapist, specializing in Structural Integration and Myofascial Therapy for 10 years. His clients were mostly athletes from various sports, As his clientele grew and began to include specialized populations such as hospice, he became interested in the treatment of long term conditions. He learned Manual Lymphatic Drainage and added it to his practice for this purpose. Ironically, he practices both the deepest (Myofascial) and the lightest (Manual Lymphatic Drainage) of massage techniques. Each is a valid and effective treatment for the appropriate client. While one has an anatomical approach, affecting the deep fascial structures that provide stability and support to the body, the other has a physiological emphasis, addressing the fluids within the skin and bloodstream and lymph structures. He believes each session should produce a positive change or shift, in terms that make sense to the client on both a personal and physical level.
