29 Years of experience:

David brings 29 years of clinical experience and extensive continuing education to the treatment table. This is somewhat unique in a profession where the average durration of a massage therapist's career is 5-7 years.

David's work is specific, therapeutic, and relaxing; addressing functional limitations and tension held in the body. David draws from his detailed study of anatomy, muscle and meridian function, orthopedic assessment, and intuitive observation.

Local soft tissue work is performed within the context of relaxing the nervous system and helping to unwind broader patterns of contraction or fixation.

David's goal is to deliver effective treatment while creating a relaxing restorative experience.

David received his BS from the University of Colorado, Boulder, 1988.

He worked collaboratively out of Mountainview Chiropractic Center in Boulder, CO for 28 years, 1998 to 2025.

Modalities:

Precision Neuromuscular Therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is the best way to address soft tissue pain, ischemia, adhesions, nerve entrapment, and associated loss of motion and strength.

Neuromuscular Therapy employs functional assessment to identify issues. Treatment includes trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques, myofascial therapy, attachment point therapy, and deep specific massage strokes.

Advanced Myofascial Therapy

Myofascial Therapy works to release connective tissue restrictions. The goal is to reduce adhesions and provide more opportunities for movement. It looks at postural, structural, and functional imbalances which impact wellbeing.

Shiatsu Therapy

Born from the Zen Shiatsu tradition, this style works gently yet deeply with the meridian system to support improved chi flow, help regulate the autonomic nervous system, and re-connect to inner and outer energetic resources. Mobilizing chi clears stagnation and leads to expansion, better flexibility, adaptability, vibrancy, and suppleness in responding to life. In Shiatsu we are touching the whole: body, mind, emotions, spirit. We interrupt habitual patterns and re-establish connection with the ever-luminous field of chi. Deeply relaxing, Shiatsu sets the optimal state for the body to heal itself.

Shiatsu is hands-on work addressing the more subtle energetic anatomy, and thus the subtler aspects of who we are. It can support us in things we can't touch with our hands, like immune function, vitality, digestion, elimination, flexibility in life, coping with challenging emotions, decision making, emotional safety, worry, and quality of sleep, just to name a few. Shiatsu can be especially effective in helping unwind the unconscious patterns of mental and emotional stress we can carry in our bodies and in our lives.
