David participated as an athlete at Peak Performance Project under Dr. Marcus Elliot, a Harvard-trained physician applying sports science in the care of professional athletes. He is a former baseball player and powerlifting competitor with a 0.385 batting average for UCLA’s club baseball team and 600-pound competition deadlift. He understands the crucial role physical therapy plays in performance, as he has personal experience rehabbing a fractured tibia.

David incorporates corrective exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive overload to help his clients tackle chronic pain and achieve a high level of performance. David’s clinical experience lies in the orthopedic setting ranging from patients with total knee replacements and rotator cuff repairs to professional athletes with long-standing injuries. Instead of administering palliative solutions to the site of symptoms, David seeks to address the root causes. He has an online presence (@DoctorDPK) that he uses to help the wider community pursue biomechanically-balanced lives.

Outside of Hyena, David frequents rock climbing gyms, surfs, and finds himself getting lost on runs with his dog on new terrains.
