David Knight
David is a country boy who grew up on a cotton and sheep farm in Wee Waa, New South Wales. Due to incredible experiences with his childhood chiropractor, he was inspired to take up the profession.
After graduating from Macquarie University in 2013, David moved to Katherine in the Northern Territory where he took on the role of Managing Associate for a very busy, small solo practice. David utilised Gonstead and Diversified techniques in practice, which allowed his manual adjusting skills and proficiency to flourish.
Over the following years David adapted his treatment style to incorporate dry needling, kinesio taping, fascial tool work, a variety of soft tissue techniques with personalised rehab and exercise therapy.
After 4 years in Katherine David took a year off practicing to travel through Asia, Africa and Europe before meeting his partner Bianca and deciding to settle in Cardiff, Wales where he worked in a busy, multidisciplinary practice as a Managing Practitioner. During this time he worked as head of medical for College y Cymoed rugby team in Cardiff Wales following his passions in sport’s injury management, rehab and performance.
Now a father of a little girl, David and his family have decided to move back to Australia to plant some roots.
David is a fully registered Chiropractor and a full member of Chiropractic Australia.
