Healthy Athlete Project
Transform Your Athletic Performance
Are injuries holding you back from reaching your full potential? The Healthy Athlete Project brings my expertise as a Board Certified Sports Physical Therapist into personalized athletic coaching to help you perform at your peak while staying injury-free.
You Keep Getting Injured in the Same Places
Every time you start building momentum in your training, another injury sidelines you. You’ve been to physical therapy, taken time off, and followed the rehab protocols, but somehow you end up hurt again. You’re tired of this frustrating cycle and want to finally break free from recurring injuries that keep stealing your progress.
Training Hard But Not Getting the Results You Want
You show up, put in the work, and follow your training plan, but you feel stuck at the same performance level. Your times aren’t improving, you’re not getting stronger, and you’re starting to wonder if you’ve hit your limit. You know you have more potential inside you—you just need someone to help you unlock it.
Overwhelmed by Conflicting Advice Unsure Who to Trust
Everyone has an opinion about how you should train, what you should eat, and how to prevent injuries. You’ve tried following different programs and advice from various sources, but nothing seems to stick or work specifically for your body and goals. You need clear, expert guidance from someone who actually understands your sport and what you’re trying to achieve.
What if I said . . .
I’ve Been There, I’ve Seen This!
I’ve worked with hundreds of athletes just like you, and I know exactly how frustrating these cycles feel. I’ve seen the disappointment when runners miss races due to recurring injuries, watched talented teen athletes lose confidence on the sidelines, and heard countless stories from dedicated athletes who train harder than ever but see their performance stagnate. You’re not alone in this struggle, and it’s not your fault.
Here’s what I’ve learned after 25+ years in sports medicine: these problems aren’t random—they’re predictable patterns that can be solved. When I work with athletes through the Healthy Athlete Project, we dig deep to understand your unique movement patterns and goals, then build a system that addresses the root causes of your frustrations. I’ve helped hundreds break free from injury cycles and smash through performance plateaus. The strategies I use aren’t secrets—they’re proven methods I’m going to share with you so you can finally achieve the breakthrough you’ve been working toward.

I didn’t think it was possible, but David’s expertise allowed me to complete my first marathon in 4:01—the exact time I had hoped for before I was injured!
After months of training for my first marathon, I pulled a muscle and my doctor said I wouldn’t be running. David assured me there was a good chance I could rehab in time if I was committed to the work. After 4 weeks of treatment with stretches and strengthening exercises, I was back to running. I didn’t think it was possible, but David’s expertise allowed me to complete my first marathon in 4:01—the exact time I had hoped for before I was injured! I’ve continued the exercises he gave me and achieved multiple PRs since then, including a 21:31 5K and 1:40 half marathon. My second marathon is next week, and I’m hoping to qualify for Boston!

Four key areas that unlock your athletic potential
What We’ll Work On Together
The Healthy Athlete Project addresses the root causes that keep you injured and stuck.
Injury Prevention
Through optimized movement patterns.
We build your body’s resilience through targeted movement patterns and progressive loading strategies. You’ll develop the strength and mobility needed to handle the demands of your sport while learning to recognize and address potential issues before they become problems. This proactive approach keeps you training consistently and competing at your best.
Performance Enhancement
With sport-specific training.
We unlock your athletic potential by identifying and eliminating the movement inefficiencies that limit your speed, power, and endurance. Through sport-specific training protocols, you’ll develop the explosive strength and conditioning that translate directly to better performance. You’ll finally break through those frustrating plateaus and achieve the results you’ve been working toward.
Movement Analysis & Biomechanics
For your unique needs.
We analyze how your body moves during sport-specific activities to optimize your technique and efficiency. You’ll learn to move with precision and power while reducing unnecessary stress on your joints and muscles. This foundation ensures every training session and competition builds toward better performance rather than breaking you down.
Sport-Specific Conditioning
Tailored to your sport.
We design training that directly transfers to your athletic demands, whether that’s the repetitive impact of distance running or the explosive movements of court sports. You’ll develop the exact type of strength, endurance, and power your sport requires through exercises that mirror your competitive movements. This targeted approach maximizes your training time and accelerates your progress toward your goals.
His willingness to come in so early was just one way David shows his dedication to clients.
David immediately showed how much he cares about getting his clients back to doing what they love. He was thorough and really took the time to figure out exactly what I needed to run again. With small children, it was hard to fit physical therapy into my schedule, so David met me at 6:30 am to accommodate my needs. His willingness to come in so early was just one way David shows his dedication to clients. I strongly recommend him to all my friends and family.

When I completed therapy, I was ready to return to athletics with the confidence to succeed.
After my third ACL injury, I had lost much of my confidence and was very cautious with any movement. As an athlete, I needed to get this back as soon as possible. David worked with me not only on strengthening my knee, but also on restoring my confidence. By introducing sport-specific activities, including power lifts and plyometrics, I was able to ease back in a controlled environment. When I completed therapy, I was ready to return to athletics with the confidence to succeed.
