David Robinson
David graduated from the European School of Osteopathy in 2005 and over the last seven years has treated patients from all walks of life, from those suffering paralysing disabilities, to Olympic athletes. Ages of patients under his care also range from new born babies aged only 3 weeks old, to the elderly in their nineties.
As an active sportsman, David pursued a career in osteopathy following a serious knee injury during a county game of rugby. The rehabilitation he received is one of his key inspirations, providing treatment to others and getting them back to their desired level of fitness and wellbeing.
His continued interest and love of sport has seen him work on a number of events, including the British Judo championships, Sussex netball matches and cycling tours abroad. David also treated athletes from ‘On Camp with Kelly Holmes’ a scheme where runners receive direct mentoring from the Olympic gold medallist.
Since graduating David has continued to develop his skills in specialist areas. He is qualified in medical acupuncture, sports massage and rehabilitation, which he incorporates into individual treatments when necessary. He has now also begun studying musculoskeletal diagnostic ultrasound.
