Testimonials - David B

H.B.

Coming off a stress fracture in my hip and having a herniated disc in my back, I was very apprehensive about running the Chicago Marathon. I have been a client of Dave’s for a few years and his thirst for knowledge and growth is unparalleled to anyone. So it was only natural to make him a part of my training regimen and he was an instrumental part. I highly recommend Dave for any athlete-beginner or advanced.

Dave has provided me with therapeutic relief for many ailments I have experienced over the past few years. He has helped me with tendinitis, muscle strains and headaches. He does it with professionalism and knowledge that I have grown to trust & value.

David is friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. He always questioned my health to tailor my session exactly to MY needs. As a competitive bodybuilder this is extremely important to me. The combination of stretch therapy and massage is a must for anyone wanting to lead a healthy active lifestyle. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Dave is a skilled master of the impossible. After re-injuring my shoulder on Saturday I thought I was in for six more weeks of pain and PT. I was fortunate to get an appointment for Monday in Saint Charles but dreading the wait and the drive. I had just had a wellness visit with Dave the week before. I felt great. When he noticed my Monday appointment with a description of my problem he called me! I live in Huntley and he suggested I come right over rather than wait for the long drive to Saint Charles the next day. Stretch Therapy works! It’s Monday. I went to work instead of the doctor. I don’t quite understand the mechanics but Dave sure does. Carolyn Voss

Dave is the best, no doubt. I had consistent lower back pain for 4 years, couldn’t sit or stand for more than 20 minutes without pain. I went to many different places for 4 years and no one was able to help my back. Within 2 months of working with Dave, I was able to sit and stand for hours and still feel good. I still can’t believe how amazing I feel nowadays. I feel significantly better every time I see him. My overall quality of life has improved more than I could have ever imagined since I started working with Dave and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

I’ve been to many massage therapists but David’s stretch therapy really helps balance my active lifestyle and keep me out of pain! I feel better the minute I walk out of his door and for days afterwards. Plus he suggests exercises to help retain the flexibility progress that we achieve in each session. Highly recommended!

I was told after an injury that the damage caused would limit my activity. Thankfully I meet Dave, his combination of Fascial Stretch Therapy & Massage has given me the ability to stay healthy & active. Dave's knowledge and continuing education plays a key role in my fitness/health routine.

David is the best massage therapist around! I have had numerous therapists work on me over many years and David has been at the very top of all experiences I have had.

Dave is a trusted resource for anyone with tight / tense muscles or joints looking for true results and improvement. For myself, having had a broken back, hip and both elbows, Dave has been a instrumental in my regaining flexibility after years of locked up joints and muscles. Dave not only assists with regular stretching sessions but also provides guidance on exercises and stretches as my “homework' for continued improvement going forward. ‘Thank YOU, Dave for being such a valuable resource for so many!

My sessions with David over the course of the year helped to keep my muscles stretched and in tip top shape, which allowed me to take 23 minutes off my marathon time and stay injury free! David is very professional and personable and genuinely cares about helping his clients. I would definitely recommend his services.

I've had the good fortune of being a client of David's for about 10 years now. His intuition, knowledge and abilty to find problem areas and manipulate those areas is amazing. Whether is a full on stretch session or massage, I always leave feeling fantastic. Give him a try, you won't be disappointed!

I bought a gift certificate for sessions with with David for my adult granddaughter. After her first session, she called me to rave about her session! David helped her realize that her body was much more powerful than she had imagined. David was able to work with her to help with flexibilty and to work her muscles in a deep manner to loosened tightened tissue. With the first session, she noticed greater flexibility. Would highly recommend. Life changing!

Working with David at Elite Stretch Therapy has been life changing for me. With several bulging discs in my neck, I was perpetually dealing with pain and on the verge of surgery. For several years now, the monthly deep tissue massage and interactive stretching and exercises he's taught me have relieved my pain and continue to defer my surgery. I'm so glad I found him!

Dianne K

David is a miracle worker! I was a month before a half marathon and developed sciatic nerve pain and a very painful rb issue that stopped me completely from my training. In one session, David evaluated and treated my issues, and taught me about what | can do at home. With a week I eased back into my training and was able to complete the race. David is very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!

Elizabeth S

Elite Stretch Therapy helped me get out of pain. After working with David , and doing his suggested exercises my foot pain is greatly reduced & I am in control, I'm back out on the paddle board, walking the dogs and able to do so much more. All the physical therapy , cortisone shots and pills never had this kind of results. David listened to my issues and tried various stretches, massage and exercises that made such a difference. You won't regret going to Elite and feeling 50 good once you do.

I met Dave while attending a Pilates Open House. He had a demo-table and I was very intrigued with what he was doing. As I began chatting with him, I realized that he was not just randomly putting people in these positions. Rather, he was assessing them as he as going. Dave has a deep, deep knowledge of the body's physiology. I bought a package and after my first session I was hooked. My body felt 50 good! I had rotator cuff repair 6 months prior and Dave worked within my body's abilties. After one session, I felt lighter and walked with a new awareness. Dave was able to assess what parts of my body were actually hindering my progress and mobilty. In addition to seeing him every other week, Dave gave me exercises to do on my own as well. At the time, my main form of exercise was running and he helped with abductor and knee pain. I highly recommend Dave to anyone who wants to feel and move better. He is a wealth of knowledge and a master at what he does.

M.T.

I had spent two years going to chiropractors and the Bone and Joint specialist with no relief. Until I discovered Dave, I could not walk or get on airplanes or continue my work and in my six months with him | became free of pain and moving freely lie | was 20 years younger. I cannot thank Dave enough for the skills he gave me, the therapy he gave me to help me get better and regain my lIfe.

I've gone to David several times as part of my training for multiple races including the Chicago Marathon. Each time he has helped me, listened to me, and cared for me with the utmost concer! Best of all, he gives you ideas, stretches and exercises to do to continue to work on your areas of concern after the appointment. What I appreciate about David is that he doesn't just treat your immediate: pain or tightness, but he educates you about the root cause of your problem, and how to strengthen your body to avoid the pain in the first place. I highly recommend him!

Dave is always a professional. He knows his stuff and has helped my son (17 Yr) stretch out for Baseball. He is a catcher and the extra flexibility is a plus in that position. I highly recommend Elite Stretch Therapy and Dave to any & everyone who wants quality professional therapy. Thank Read more
