Wed Sep 06 2006David Sundy is a rare find; an orthopedic bodyworker with advanced skill and gifted touch; his work is deeply physical, but also spiritual, lifting me out of my ego-based consciousness to a higher sphere where transformation takes place on the energetic levels. I trust him implicitly. I always leave feeling refreshed and ready, again, to face the difficult tasks of living and healing. _--Julia Landis, MA -San Francisco Counselor, Yoga Therapist and Lyme Disease Patient

Sun Jul 30 2006I started seeing David in March because I developed tendonitis on my left elbow. After receiving massages from other therapists, it didn't seem to get better and after reading great reviews about him, I decided to give him a try. I am so glad that I did because after three treatments, I really felt a huge improvement. He is very knowledgeable and I felt very comfortable with him. I still continue to see him on a regular basis to keep my elbow in check and just for my overall well-being. I highly recommend him!

Wed Jun 14 2006I had 2 operations and countless visits to doctors who could not identify the pain and stiffness in my knee. Halfway through my first appointment with David, he was able to describe EXACTLY what the problem was. My doctors could not come up with any explanation and could only suggest another operation. After my visit with David, my knee felt better right away, and I have not walked this well in a long time!

Tue May 23 2006when i first met david i was also seeing a sports MD and a PT for relief of hamstring tension/pain and was feeling quite frustrated. david had come highly recommended and upon first meeting him i felt an immediate sense of calm as well as a warm, positive energy from him. he was extremely confident, but also very open about what he didn't know and often spent extra time with me to figure out differential diagnoses and to really listen to how i was feeling. once he had worked with me through various methods and sessions, i had significant and immediate relief of my symptoms. david is clearly passionate and dedicated to his profession and has a special gift for healing through touch. david helped to heal my physical body, but also rejuvenated my mental health! he provides a phenomenal service - one not often found these days.

Tue Feb 07 2006- you touched the right spot - all the doctors were stupid - pain was 50% reduced immediatly - you are highly skilled Doctors wanted to replace my hip, but I told them the problem was in the muscle. Thankyou for being able to feel what was wrong and fix it, fast and painlessly. You're a life saver, David. Thank you so much.

Mon Jan 02 2006The Orthopedic doctor told me I needed surgery. I already had two of those. David fixed me in a single session. He didn't think he could fix this one, but he did. Thanks!!!

Sun Jan 01 2006After the first session, I felt immediate relief. I didn't even know tendonitis could be fixed. I had constant pain and tension for 5 years. My diagnosis was changed from tendinitis to tendinosis, which is the more chronic form of the disease. Physical therapy, splints, braces, steroid injections. . . nothing seemes to work. But, David fixed it in a few short sessions. How could this be? I thought to myself. . . David explained exactly how tendonitis occurrs, exactly how he fixes it, and then he does it. I m recommending everyone I know to go to Active Healing. Why live with pain, when there's someone who knows how to fix it?

Thu Dec 15 2005If you ever thought you knew what feeling your best was, you probably have no idea. My first Bowen session at Active Healing was incredible!!! I feel like flying!!! Everyone should try this stuff.

Tue Dec 13 2005David Sundy's understanding of the both therapeutic, orthopedic and holistic massage is light years a head of anyone I've Seen. I have a congenital birth defect; Nail Patella Syndrome, And have both ligament, joint, muscular pains and aches my whole life. David's work on me has made a world of difference. I have seen all kinds of massage therapists over the past 20 years and this is the first time I have experienced lasting physical peace of body. He has a natural, educated and spiritual understanding of how all the body parts effect each other and has given me the calmness my body has needed/wanted all my life. I can't think of ever having anyone work on me again. You would do your self a great service no matter what your physical needs are.

Thu Dec 08 2005I had unexplained pain shooting down my leg, and I couldn't walk without pain. David at Active Healing could feel exactly what was out of place. He worked with me on my side, then on the other side, face down, face up, on and off the table. He kept working until the pain was almost totally gone. I returned two more times and now I'm pain free. Now I can go to Paris and do all the walking I planned on doing!!! Thank you, Active Healing!!!

Sun Dec 04 2005I did not want to go to surgery once more. Last two times was very bad. I have hip surgery 2 times now. I don't want anymore. Now David fixes my hips and makes the pain stop. I am very happy because of help from David at Active Healing.

Sun Dec 04 2005I spent thousands of dollars on specialists this past year. David at Active Healing was the only person who could help me. His therapy felt much better and cost much less than seeing doctors. I suppose doctors just don't have time to fix people.

Fri Dec 02 2005I see David one time per week to keep my body moving without pain. His skill, warm heart and healing touch is worth all the money in the world. I'm 82 years old. In the past three years David fixed my weak ankles and cleaned the scar tissue away in my lower legs from bypass surgery. He fixed my rotator cuff injury and straightened by back. I have been to many types of doctors in my life. While David is young, he seems to always know better than all of them, what's best for my body. I would be lost without David.

Tue Oct 18 2005I'm a middle aged man with one of the worst cases of knee arthritis my doctors have ever seen. I've had to give up a lot. Long walks, bike riding, running, all were taken away from me. And stairs became a problem. Thanks to David Sundy's work at Active Healing, I'm now 75% better. I can take walks again and run a little, and climb stairs normally for the first time in years. And my pain levels are way, way down. David Sundy's knowledge & dedication to his craft are admirable, impressive, and something one rarely sees these days. He really cares about his patients and helps people to heal. I cannot praise Active Healing enough. Way to go!!!! David Nahmod, age 50 San Francisco Freelance writer and pet care provider

Fri May 20 2005Currently training for an Ironman, my body is constantly put through alot of stress. Although it is taxing, I know I can push the envelope because David always has a way of mending my body back together. There have even been a few times where I was left in tears because I thought I really injured myself and that I wasn't going to be able to race but after having a session with David, my confidence has been redeemed. He's professionalism and knowledge speaks for itself. What really makes David stand out is he is passionate about what he does. His number one goal is to get you feeling better and he won't stop until you do. I am a coach myself, I believe in David so much I have my clients seeing him on a regular basis. If you are injured and need relief, I highly recommend David.
