With such an experience, Dave has worked with clients as diverse as children with co-ordination/medical conditions, many rehabilitation cases, through to international rugby players, British Cycling Team members and some celebrities.
I feel that PT is a team affair, getting to know and understand your clients personality, jobs, lifestyle helps to plan a session correctly. Also, obviously knowing what to do and the many ways in which we can do them is down to me! Keeping training fresh, updated, different and challenging every time, but never forgetting structure of the training programme are key to successful and happy clients.
