I had a recurring pain in the middle of my back for years. I had seen a lot of other practitioners for this but at best only ever recieved temporary relief from their treatment. Then I saw David. My back feels great and still does.

Colin, Brisbane

Having received a rugby injury to my knee in my 20s, severe arthritis changes in my neck and a more recent deterioration of a hip, I have met with numerous physiotherapists over the years.

When I started seeing David Wadsworth approximately 4 years ago what impressed me was his immediate understanding of my situation, his knowledge and his level of skills that I had not experienced before. With David's hands-on approach, and an emphasis on ongoing maintenance, I had no hesitation in following him as a client to his new practice, Chronic Pain Solutions.

The outcome of David's ongoing treatment and advice has enabled me to enjoy a reasonably active lifestyle and a positive view of the future.

Practitioner Courses

David Wadsworth teaches several post-graduate courses to other health care practitioners licensed to practice manual therapy.

Locomotor Slings Courses

Courses which David is teaching this year include the LOCOMOTOR SLINGS series. This pair of two day courses introduces direct myofascial technique, a skill used on a daily basis in a manual therapy practice. It teaches practitioners the ability to examine and treat the entire body at once. Participants will come away from the courses with myofascial skills for all regions of the body. The interconnectedness of the myofascial system and how this may be used to enhance treatment results is also discussed. The palpatory skills developed in these courses form an essential skill base from which practitioners can more easily learn the advanced skills of visceral manipulation and cranial osteopathy at a later date.

For more information about the LOCOMOTOR SLINGS courses, please download the Locomotor Slings brochure from this page.
