David Spindler, LMT
David's Personal Introduction: "In 2005, while I was
living in Marin County I worked at Marin General Hospital for the
Institute of Health and Healing under the guidance of Pat Morgan. There I
was given the wonderful challenge of working with ill patients and their
families one day per week. I’d spend most of my time in the cancer ward
working very gently with both patients and family members. I would always
spend some time with the staff as well, as they all work so tirelessly to
make the patients as comfortable as possible.
When working with patients in this environment
I use only the gentlest of techniques. Often keeping the work to the
extremities of the body, as that seems to bring the greatest relief to the
patient in the least invasive manner.
As for working with people in normal health,
I use several modalities in conjunction with one another to achieve the
results I am looking for. I use a combination of deep tissue strokes,
active and passive stretching, and trigger point release as assessment
tools to determine strategy for using the more advanced techniques of a
modality called neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR). NMR is detailed and
thorough structural bodywork that incorporates specific muscle testing to
determine imbalances in coordination and techniques to correct
dysfunctional coordination patterns at their source. It acts as a form of
kinesthetic (physical) conversation with the body that imprints new
information in the motor control center of the brain. I use all these
techniques in combination to get effective, lasting results from damage
created by trauma, injury, surgery or repetitive strain issues. . I have
also found it to be the perfect adjunct to chiropractic and sports injury
care. My focus tends to be on an older population, because of the apparent
need for that population to maintain flexibility and mobility.
I live and
work in Solvang now, and look forward to the opportunity to share my
skills and learn more with you"
