Reviews of Simply Less Pain Physiotherapy (Psychologist)

Shu Yu Fan

David was recommended by a friend after I had an accident while mountain biking when he was working at a clinic in Vancouver. I injured my left shoulder and had a very limited range of motion with it. One week after the first treatment with IMS (intramuscular stimulation) and other physical therapy methods, my shoulder was back to 95% of my “norm”. I continued to visit David for my older injuries and I feel my body was in a much better condition. He also explained the root cause of the problems very well and how the musculoskeletal system works in general. I highly recommend him.

David was a godsend for me. I've suffered from lower back pain for most of my adult life, from an injury in my early 20s. This pain was debilitating and frustrating. David made all that go away, and stay away, through a combination of exercise and "needling". He is very friendly and accommodating, and makes you feel comfortable and welcome, from the very first moment. I'd give him 50 stars if I could!

Hayley Siggs

I am a particular individual who is energetically sensitive (and ticklish!). Which means, I typically prefer/ trust female physiotherapists over male. Let me say, non of that matters as long as the physiotherapist sees, hears and supports you - David does exactly that and offers so much comfort. One time during an IMS treatment with David, a deep emotion was released in the process and I couldn’t stop crying. David was so kind - hydrating me and validated my tears. He gave space for me to process what was being released. That was a healing experience for me on many levels. David could see those levels and hold space for them. David is a healer, he is sharing his gifts through physiotherapy.

David is just what I was looking for in a Physiotherapist. Both professional and personable. Great value for service. For the $5 more/visit I am happy to pay it for the one on one. You have to think time management to. What would you prefer? One hour of your time to have spotty interaction with your therapist, or get to it and be done, with better quality of service, in 30 minutes.......... I found his new technical and electronic approach interesting and helpful. Give him a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Katie Creyke

Went to David for a hip flexor and low back issue and I’m so pumped to be feeling relief after three treatments. David was able to narrow down what the issue was and help me understand how I can get my injuries heathy and strong going forward. David is genuine and definitely knows his stuff with sports injuries. Glad I’ve found a quality physio in PG!

Woo Hyun Choi

David used to be my physiotherapist for over a year when he was in Vancouver. Before seeing him, I used to see a different physiotherapist in a different clinic, but I had such negative experiences. I saw him because one of my friends strongly recommended to see him, so I thought I would give it another try. David is very friendly, nice and caring. You will definitely notice how he is genuinely caring patients and their improvements and how passionate he is in what he is doing. He even put extra time to fix my low back issue when the session was supposed to be 30 minutes, so that's how much he cares about his patients. As a university student & weightlifter, I have had posture issues, low back pain and multiple joint pains. But over the year working issues one by one with David, most issues are gone. Not only he treats the pain, he also teaches patients helpful stretches and whatnot so that eventually, you don't have to comeback with the same issue again. Sad that I have to find a different physiotherapist as good as him, but I am happy that he is starting his own physiotherapy place in Prince George! He is "simply" the best! If you are in Prince George and you need to see a physiotherapist, I will tell you, you should definitely visit this place and see him!

David has been my physio for over a year when he was working in Vancouver. I suffered from chronic neck, upper back, and lower back pain from a cycling accident. David was knowledgeable and kind. He would go over the 30 minutes appointment time if needed. My pain improved a lot with David's help. I highly recommend David.

Chad McFarlin

David is absolutely amazing! One of the best Physiotherapists I've been to. I do Jiu-Jitsu and have neck, shoulder, elbow, and back injuries. David was able to diagnose the problem, put together a great treatment program, and get me back on the mats quickly. I would highly recommend David.

Bryan

David is by far the best and most passionate physiotherapist I have had the pleasure of working with. I've been treated by David for over a year when he worked at my physiotherapy clinic in Vancouver. I am a personal trainer by profession and I coach and compete in powerlifting. Due to the nature of my profession and sport, injuries, tight muscles and imbalances are inevitable. He has helped me prepare and perform at my optimal level for my national level Powerlifting competition back in 2019. Working with David has not only allowed me to manage these ailments, but also prevent a lot of injuries from occurring. David's passion for physiotherapy and the human body is inspiring; he'd share me very interesting facts at how my body's musculature system worked. Thanks for everything David! :)

Rebecca Fulop

I first went to David in Vancouver 2 1/2 years ago when I broke my foot. When I arrived I couldn't even walk on crutches--I was still using a knee scooter. My doctor didn't understand why I couldn't walk immediately after being told that my foot was no longer broken, so I was feeling pretty discouraged when I showed up for my first appointment. David reassured me that I was doing fine and that I would be able to walk again. He helped me re-learn how to walk, then walk without a limp, and then when I continued to experience pain in my foot and leg he helped me get pain free, and all with an amazing and positive attitude that made me feel like I really was getting better. So when I started to have serious knee and hip/back pain about 6 months later, of course I went back to David. Our treatment was interrupted by the pandemic but he had already helped so much that I was okay. Finally I started having unrelated foot pain in December and was able to see him again a few times before his move to Prince George. In short, David is a fantastic physiotherapist and a wonderful human being!

Owen Sturgess

David was at Seva Physiotherapy in Vancouver when he treated me for low back pain that was preventing me from running and had been getting progressively worse. I had excellent results from IMS and he provided me with exercises to re-train my body to prevent a recurrence. He explained the purpose of all treatments and exercises to ensure that I was comfortable and understood how to do it correctly.

George Gao

I went to David after spraining my lower-back from a combination of long-distance running and weight-training. Before going to him, I was in constant chronic pain throughout the day which had not only affected my day-to-day life but was also disrupting my sleep. David prescribed me exercises and performed dry needling, which helped me alleviate the pain I struggled with for over a month in just a couple of visits.

Brooke Meunier

David is a great physiotherapist, he is very knowledgeable with IMS and helped me with various back/hip/shoulder injuries from lifting. I always felt that David was as invested in my recovery as I was which is what made him the best physiotherapist I’ve ever seen!

Thibault de Wit

I initially started seeing David for a lower back injury that happened doing squats in the gym. David was able to quickly identify the issue and started treating me using IMS, massages and a variety of stretches. He also prescribed me stretches and breathing exercises to do at home between the sessions. This initial treatment was highly effective and I was back in the gym in no time. During these initial sessions, his excellent understanding of the human body enabled him to identify other areas of tension of mine. This led me to book more physio sessions with him and he ended up treating my quads, groin, upper back, and neck area. Throughout the sessions, I felt significant improvements that led to better performance in the gym and faster recovery. On top of being an excellent physio, David is an awesome guy and I really enjoyed getting to know him throughout our sessions. It was an absolute pleasure to have him involved with my care and I wish him the best of luck in Prince George!

Stephanie Scaglione

I initially started seeing David for physiotherapy for an exacerbated old running injury in my foot. David was quick to diagnose the issue and provide effective manual therapy and at-home exercises. He also assisted me in recognizing and relieving pain in other areas of my body that I experienced from my job. David is well-educated in many different manual therapy techniques that he can personalize to whatever your needs may be. He cares about you as his client and makes sure that you work together to get you back to your best self. David is also extremely professional and very personable. Your body will thank you for seeing David for his expertise and skill and you will also get to experience his friendly personality!

Scott Beck

David's abilities as a physiotherapist are matched only by his kindness. After fixing an acute problem with my knee, David also helped me to address some chronic problems with my lower back and shoulder through a combination of manual therapy and exercises. His ability to address new and underlying problems, often in the same appointment, has been a total game changer for me. If you're searching for a skilled, empathetic, and person-centred physio, then look no further!

Shiv Gill

Had a team of therapists work on my shoulder for me after surgery, and David was one of the therapists. Hands down David and his co workers know what they are doing. From the moment you sit down to the moment you get up off the therapy bed you know your in good hands. I've had both shoulders worked on and again, hands down one the best therapists I've ever had have, both come from the clinic that David was working out. His co worker and himself did an absolute wonderful job with me. You're hurt and you need some relief from your pain I would highly recommend David. Thanks and good luck in your new venture David

Kim Bonnell

I have been dealing with Chronic Pain for 20 years and really appreciated my first appointment with Simply Less Pain Physiotherapy with Dr. David. I'm really looking forward to working with him more. It's a wonderful thing to have someone in the right mindset to work with chronic health problems, and I feel so encouraged and understood already. *2 month update - I'm still so happy and making progress stabilizing my joints. 10/10 would highly recommend.

Kayly Phipps

Highly recommend David for your physio needs. Very professional and kind service. Thank you!!

Madelyn Tanaya Alianto

Okay so David really knows what he is doing. David introduced me to IMS and that has helped with tons of weird aches and pains that I have had (IMS hurts but it hurts so good if that makes any sense). Anyways, I've since had to look for a new physio since David relocated and have been trying to find another "David" as a physio who would potentially be as good. He listens and does a pretty good job at making me feel less like an 80 year old and back to a 20 year old!

Vlasta Alviz

David is great! I would recommend him anytime, as a matter of fact he was recommended to me by my partner. I have been seeing him in Vancouver for about a year. His knowledge of human body and all off it's quirks is huge. He helped me with my shoulder pain, neck pain, lower back pain. And on top of his professional knowledge he is also just a nice guy who will always make you feel comfortable.

Alix Lachaud

I went to see David for so many different problems: tightness in the shoulders, pain in my lower back, pain in the shoulder, knee ... He always listened to me carefully and after a quick examination he could explain where the problem was coming from (often it is not where it hurts!) which I always very much appreciated. I always felt better after seeing David. He is very patient and he always gave me good exercises to do (I am terrible at doing exercises, but he never gave me too much). I have a better understanding of my body thanks to David and I know now how to prevent future injuries or muscles tightness. In short, I highly recommend anyone to go see David. He is a great physiotherapist!

Anna Brkic

I have had lower back pain for 21 years. Turns out my back is not a lemon after all. It took 2 weeks of very simple exercises that I could do while sitting, standing, or laying in bed, before I was finally able to lift my baby without pain. David listens to your experiences, concerns and the nature of your pain then takes an individualized approach to help your body hold itself properly. I appreciate having my alignment checked to see what adjustments to my exercises will be most beneficial for me. Hands down my sessions with David have been the most helpful thing I have done for pain reduction/elimination.

Emma M

I highly recommend David. He is an excellent physiotherapist and a super kind person with a great sense of humor. David treated me regularly for reoccurring neck and back pain associated with an old sports injury plus the wear and tear from birthing four kids. David often treated me with dry needling. He is especially skilled in this area and intuitively understands the human body. David is a great listener and an expert at extracting the information he needs from his patients to treat them accurately and efficiently. David knows his craft and is excellent at putting patients at ease.

Jamie Schenkeveld

I suffered from chronic pain that generated a plethora of negative impacts to my quality of life. After years of increasing pain and declining mental and physical condition, within only a few sessions with David I am living in a different world, with much of my pain gone, all of it manageable, and with the expectation that I will be pain free and back to living well. I can't recommend this service enough to those you struggle with chronic pain!

Michael Dunn

David helped me recover from a wrist injury that I picked up from a cycling accident last year. After a few sessions with him, my wrist was back to normal with no lasting pain and full mobility. David was excellent at listening to my issues and developing a recovery plan that worked for me. It is very apparent that he cares deeply about his patients and I highly recommend him.

Spiro Polyhronopoulos

I treated with David when he was practicing in Vancouver. I am a physician, and I have knowledge of many physiotherapists, but David has been remarkable! He not only treated my back condition very well, he was also empathetic and super nice to talk with. It's uncommon to come across someone who has great clinical skills, and also a nice manner and great rapport. He will be a fine addition to healthcare in the Prince George community!

Danielle Sumners

I am so happy that I came across David from reading recommendations online. I have been to physio in the past and this is an entirely different experience. The one on one is very effective and much appreciated. After being in a car accident over 2 months ago I was seeing little to no improvement with my pain and stiffness and was feeling very frustrated. I decided to to go see David and I am already seeing and feeling improvement after 1 week (3 treatments). Highly recommend Simply Less Pain!

Megan Gallant

I was David's patient for a number of months when he was practicing in Vancouver. He treated me for a number of issues relating to my back, shoulders and neck and helped me significantly reduce my pain and increase my mobility. David is very well-educated and helped me recognize and treat a number of issues that I wasn't even aware of when I initially came in! He treats his patients with kindness and is very helpful and approachable with any questions or concerns you have.

Katie Stannard

David is an incredible Physiotherapist. He took the time to fully understand the root cause of my problem and developed a personalized plan that I could easily do at home. Each time I visited him, he released my pain while actively trying new approaches to improve my condition. Not only did he help reduce my pain, he taught me how my body worked which has changed how I do physical activity. Leading to reduced overall pain and a stronger body. I highly recommend David. He is personal, kind, and cares so much about his clients.

Camilo Cortes

I had the pleasure of having Dave as my physical therapist for over a year for a number of issues. He helped me come up with regular strategies to care for my chronic and acute injuries, in addition his treatments and bed side manner are one of a kind. He will work with you where you are at.

Melissa Colwell

I found David after an unpleasant experience with another Physio clinic in town and was very pleased with his services and the results I attained. David is very caring, compassionate and knowledgable. I was recovering from a severe injury and he was always patient with me while also being encouraging and motivational. Sessions with David are one-on-one so you really get the attention and time that you need when trying to heal your body. I would highly recommend David to anyone recovering from an injury or looking to improve their health!

Robbie Ghebrez

I would highly recommend David, he is a fantastic physiotherapist; can’t rate his professionalism and expertise high enough. David quickly diagnosed my pain as sciatica and has helped me with my quick recovery. He tried IMS treatment, and the results were excellent. The treatment, advice and stretches he provides were all vital to helping me get back to normal. He is super friendly and very knowledgeable. If you need a physiotherapist, he’s your guy. Many thanks to David

Keely Aquilini

The name of this practice couldn't put it any better! Working with David really does simply lead to less pain. His knowledge and interest in the human body is exciting to observe. Being an athlete with a long medical history and dozens of different physios on my resume, I can honestly say I felt most understood by David. He looked for root causes where no other doctor thought to look and gave me solutions that were actually possible. His history of being an athlete really allows him to empathize with clients and almost makes you want to become a physio. Id recommend him to any friend of mine!

barry wiebe

David, at Simply Less Pain, was recommended after I had given up on physio therapist. The results are beyond what I have ever had with any other clinic in Prince George! In 2 months, I have improved range of motion with increased strength and a substantial pain reduction. He is very gentle in his hands-on, team orientated, approach. Thank you for coming to Prince George to set up your practice.

Marnie Collins

I have had chronic shoulder and neck pain since a skiing accident in 2007. Thinking about managing it only, I started to see David Domes over a year ago. With his skill and expertise I not only managed but significantly improved - I had no idea I could have as much strength and as little daily pain again. His knowledge, expertise, patience, and compassion have made an immense difference in my life and I am grateful. I highly recommend him and his practice.

Alexander Dimitrakopoulos

David is a caring and competent physiotherapist. I saw David for close to two years at his Vancouver location and actually saw results compared to the handful of therapists I had tried prior to him. He not only is super knowledgeable about how the body works as a complete system, but takes the time to listen to his patients and learn from them. David helped me overcome a lot of pain and his compassion made appointments something to look forward to.

Nikeisha

David treated me for injuries affecting my neck, back and legs and he helped me improve significantly. He provided me with exercises and stretches to rebuild strength to prevent the reoccurrence and severity of my pain. David is not only knowledgeable in a variety of techniques, but he is genuinely invested in his patient's overall well-being and tailors treatments so we can get back to our routines.

Anna Bennett

I visited David whilst he was in Vancouver. He treated me for over 1 year, starting with a small amount of ankle tendonitis, culminating in treating me after I was in a bike accident. He was very thorough, helping me with any issues that came up throughout the time I saw him, and sympathetic to the woes of a triathlete stuck without exercise. I looked forward to my appointments where I got my body fixed and a good friendly chat on the side!

Heather G

I saw David when he practiced in Vancouver, for a neck issue that was preventing me from swimming. David did a thorough examination, ensuring he had a full understanding of my pain and what triggered it. David did a variety of treatments, stretching, massage and prescribed exercises. I really appreciated that David took video on my phone of me practicing the exercises, it's always tough to remember once you get home and I still have this resource for the future. My neck pain was resolved within a few weeks and I still use the exercises if I overdo a swim workout. David is very kind and empathetic, I always felt he was present during our appointments. David genuinely cares about his patients, I can't recommend him enough.

Noah SJ

I have lived for years with widespread chronic pain. David has helped me regain function, return to activities and improve my quality-of-life. He used a wide range of modalities, including, IMS and exercise prescription. I'm very grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anybody searching for a physiotherapist.

Julia Bennett

David is an outstanding physio therapist. I was fortunate to have David treat my chronic neck issue for a year and a half before he moved to his new practice in Prince George. David truly understands what it means to treat the “whole person”. The thoughtful manner in which David cares for his patients is encouraging and extremely helpful. He treats his patients with dignity and grace. David takes the time to understand the needs of his patients. The Prince George community is fortunate to have David as part of the healthcare community. I highly recommend visiting Simply Less Pain Physiotherapy.

Meike Siegner

David used to be my physiotherapist for over a year in Vancouver. His professionalism, combined with his exceptionally friendly character, and caring personality, have no doubt improved my lower back pain. It has been a great experience to learn from David what good physiotherapy can achieve, such as the ability to routinely incorporate exercises in my work schedule, and balance sitting and standing routines. Many thanks to you for your encouragement and skills. I have truly benefitted from working with you.

Robin Cass

Great training is certainly the foundation for any good practitioner, but it is the 'ephemera'l that can achieve real greatness. David's sensitivity to the myriad of factors that affect the body delivers the kind of experience that is hard to reduce to mere superlatives. Just go! Do yourself the biggest favour ever. Robin Cass, Producer

Simon Zukowski

I had seen other physios before and had given up hope that my chronic hip and neck issues would ever get better. With David, the hope is back. He is thorough, dedicated and very well trained. Prince George is lucky to have him.

Scott Held

I was lucky enough to have David as a physio in Vancouver and he does an amazing job with all his clients. Extremely dedicated, knowledgable, and makes physiotherapy an enjoyable and productive experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
