Originally from England trained at University of Bradford in 1993 with first years exposed to a hospital setting and patient types.  He was exposed more to Cyriax and selective tension principles but wasn’t satisfied with using it for the spine.  Maitland approach was a large part of his training but he never bought in to its principles.  He was exposed to some McKenzie lectures in his schooling but it was’t until a Part C course that he better understood and began to more accurately use it.  Since 2002 or 2003 he’s been using Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy exclusively.  He underwent the diploma program in Mechanical Diagnosis & Therapy in 2003 and upon completion he wanted to go further and so he pursued a faculty position.

Dave graduated from the University of Bradford England, earning a degree in Physical Therapy in 1993.  Dave relocated to the United States in 1996 and has been the clinic director of Physical Therapy in Motion since 2004.

Throughout his 17 year career, Dave has observed many different philosophies of treatment and has found the McKenzie Method to be the most effective.  He became credentialed in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy through the McKenzie Institute International in 2002, and received a diploma in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in 2003.  Dave has continued to increase his knowledge and expertise in approach by becoming teaching faculty with the McKenzie Institute's USA branch, teaching courses to physical therapists, chiropractors and physicians throughout the United States.

Patient education highlights Dave's personal treatment philosophy.  More can be learned from listening to the patient than any test available, and when the patient understands the reasons and the goals for treatment, there is greater empowerment toward success.

In 1993 she traveled to New Zealand to attend the advanced McKenzie course earning a Diploma in Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment. Audrey now teaches courses on this method to therapists across Canada and in the United States. She has published two research papers in the journal Spine and continues to be involved in clinical research.
