David Esposito, MS, LAc, HHP
David received his Bachelor's Degree in 1986 from Providence College in Providence, R.I. After relocating to San Diego, David began his bodywork training in 1988. He graduated and began working in clinical settings in 1989. David has worked closely with physicians, physical therapists, and chiropractors since that time. In an effort to broaden his knowledge and offer more comprehensive care, David's long-term interest in Oriental philosophy and culture motivated his study of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), involving both Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine.
After three years of training, David recognized the need to intensively pursue various soft-tissue therapies and gain some valuable practical experience combining these two diciplines. In January of 1999, David resumed his studies in TCM. This time, he combined all of his previous training and clinical experience into one learning approach: finally realizing his aspiration to develop a Master's of Science in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego. David is a licensed Acupuncturist in the state of California.
He continues his studies and training in both Traditional Chinese Medicine and in clincial bodywork with an emphasis on integrating these two disciplines. David's primary interest is providing care for patients with various neuromusculoskeletal conditions, though the patient's overall health status is of primary importance. Continued training in Chinese pulse diagnosis allows him to more specifically determine a patient's overall condition while identifying underlying causes of neuromuscular imbalances.
Advanced training in soft tissue therapies, both contemporary western and Asian, have broadened David's clinical approach of postural evaluation and motion assessment, while providing gentle movement and releasing techniques in the treatment of nerve and joint conditions.
All together, this combined approach of treatment with Chinese medicine philosophies in conjunction with contemporary western medical manual therapies and techniques allows David to comprehensively address a wide-range of neuromusculoskeletal challenges. David thoroughly enjoys working in a clinical atmosphere with other practitioners where an integrated approach to therapy is encouraged.
