Dr. David Silver

David is a highly regarded Physiotherapist with 20 years of clinical experience and a passion for helping people understand their bodies and move with greater confidence. His career began with a fascination for movement, which has developed into a strong belief that it is one of the most powerful tools for improving both physical and mental wellbeing.

As a Physiotherapist at The Forge Clinic, David combines extensive clinical experience with a strong academic and research background. He holds a PhD in Concussion in Youth Rugby Union and is a highly regarded researcher, wellbeing educator and medico-legal expert witness. He also leads the sports medicine team at Cobham Rugby.

David takes an evidence-based, whole-person approach to assessment and rehabilitation. He is particularly interested in understanding why pain or dysfunction has developed rather than simply treating the symptoms. Through detailed assessment, movement screening, gait analysis, and targeted rehabilitation he helps patients develop a clearer understanding of their bodies and the factors influencing their recovery.

He believes that effective Physiotherapy should empower patients for the long term. His approach combines clinical expertise with education and movement re-education, helping people build the confidence and knowledge to take an active role in their health. For David, movement is not simply a means of rehabilitation; it is a way of helping people build confidence, resilience, and a more active and fulfilling life.
