David earned his BS in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont and brings 35 years of clinical experience to Ability Allies. For 30 of those years, he ran his own physical therapy practice before it became part of Ability Allies, building a career on the kind of hands-on, relationship-driven care that keeps patients coming back for decades. He is a certified Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT) practitioner, using a whole-body, hands-on approach to find and treat the true source of pain rather than just the symptoms. Three and a half decades in, David still believes the work only gets more rewarding the longer you stay in it.
If you love what you do you will be successful.
Three decades of running his own practice taught David that trust is earned one appointment at a time. His IMT certification means he treats the whole body, not just the site of pain, using a hands-on approach built on patience and genuine curiosity about what's really going on beneath the surface. He believes that loving the work is what makes the difference, and after 35 years, that belief still shows up in every session he runs.
When he's away from the clinic, David is usually outside: skiing and hiking through New Hampshire's seasons, or kayaking on open water. He also loves to cook for friends. That mix of physical challenge and genuine connection with people is exactly what fuels the way he practices every day.
