Our Rehabilitation Team

David Donkin
Physiotherapist
B. App Sc. (physiotherapy)



Mr. David Donkin is a physiotherapist with 15 years experience in dealing with the conservative approach to spinal and musculoskeletal disorders, and has now incorporated realtime ultrasound assisted assessment and training of core abdominal and back musculature into this conservative approach.

Realtime ultrasound allows the therapist to accurately determine the existing contraction sequence of the CORE muscles, then alter that sequence appropriately to achieve normal function. Realtime ultrasound is also used as a biofeedback tool to assure the patient that their home exercise program is specific for their needs, thus reducing the recovery time.

He has recently joined Northside Physical Medicine and brings a wealth of experience to the rehabilitation arm of the practice, both from a treatment and prevention point of view.
