DIRECTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY
DR. DAVID LUDWIG, PT, DPT, CMT, Cert DN AND VSC
Dr. Dave has always lived an active life—from skiing and earning a black belt in Tae Kwon Do to playing golf and coaching CrossFit. Along the way, he faced his share of injuries, each time relying on physical therapy to get back to the activities he loved. While training for a 300-mile bicycle ride, he made the life-changing decision to leave a successful hospitality career and pursue physical therapy.
Between his first and second year of PT school, a tragic 20 mph cycling accident left him with a life-changing concussion, beginning a three-year recovery journey. Throughout it all, he never stopped playing golf. This experience fuels his passion for helping others return to the parts of life their injuries have taken from them especially golf.
Dr. Dave is certified in manual therapy, dry needling, and vestibular/concussion rehabilitation, with advanced training in treating temporomandibular dysfunction (jaw pain), headaches and migraines, and hyper-mobility spectrum disorders (HSD/EDS). When he’s not in the clinic or with his wife of 31 years, he tries to be on the golf course.
