PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

These roles provided exposure to a broad client base, ranging from high-performance athletes to individuals experiencing persistent pain due to occupational, postural, or lifestyle factors.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
Daniel follows a holistic, client centred approach, ensuring each treatment is tailored to the client’s condition, goals, and physical demands. Sessions are designed not only to relieve symptoms, but to improve function, movement efficiency, and long-term resilience.
For clients experiencing chronic pain, Daniel places strong emphasis on understanding contributing factors such as posture, repetitive strain, training load, stress, and recovery habits. His aim is to help clients regain confidence in their bodies and support sustainable improvement rather than short-term relief alone.
Cupping therapy and kinesiology taping are incorporated into treatments when clinically appropriate or upon request.

Outside of the clinic, he maintains an active lifestyle, regularly attending the gym, practicing yoga, and spending time in nature.
