This episode see's the reture on David Grey. David is the CEO of David Grey Rehab. Originally an athlete himself, he was plagued with pain and injuries, and became very frustrated with the traditional “solutions” that were being offered. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, David spent over 10 years travelling the world, learning from some of the best minds in the industry. It became very clear to him that the traditional rehab model of isolated stretching and strengthening was a very poor and inefficient way of helping people.
