About David Stringer – Leeds Physiotherapy
David Stringer Physiotherapy is one of the leading physiotherapy practices in the Leeds area. Specialising in all areas of physiotherapy from sports injuries and back pain to sciatica and postural problems, the practice was founded by David Stringer, a lead physiotherapist at the clinic with over 25 years of experience in the treatment and rehabilitation of sporting injuries.
An impressive career in physiotherapy has seen David work with; Leeds Carnegie RUFC, Leeds Rhinos RLFC, NEC Harlequins RUFC and as a physio at the London 2012 Olympic Games, 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester, the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
For 18 consecutive seasons David has also worked as a physiotherapist for the England Rugby Union Elite Medical Department, where he has worked with both the England first team, England Saxons and England Rugby Sevens squads and he has also spent time touring with the England under 18s squad in South Africa and David also teaches Sports Trauma for both the Rugby Football League and The FA.
David Stringer established himself in the private physiotherapy sector in 2006, opening his first treatment centre in Leeds two years later. Due to an increase in demand for his services, David opened up a new treatment centre on the Otley Road, Adel, North Leeds in 2016.
Now the founder of one of the leading Leeds physiotherapy practices, David is committed to delivering impeccable standards of treatment and service, and in 2009 completed an MSc in Sport Injury at the University of Sheffield.
Your local physiotherapist for sports and non-sports injuries.
We are located at 481 Otley Road, Leeds, LS16 7NR, a prime spot in Adel bordering Cookridge, Weetwood, and Alwoodley. Headingley is a stone’s throw away to the south, between Adel and Weetwood, while Bramhope is north. Leeds City Centre is 20 minutes away by car or 30 minutes via bus 24.
Otley Road is also known as the A660, connecting all the way down to Leeds Beckett University before becoming Headingley Lane.
The areas we cover encompass all of the above, plus every area in between within Leeds and spanning into Horsforth and Rawdon, up from Bradford. Most clients drive in, but we also have some who get the bus or walk in.
