David Dall'Alba Email & Phone Number

I have worked as an exercise physiologist in private practice in the Far North Queensland region since 2015. As a new graduate I developed an interest in musculoskeletal rehabilitation and in a subsequent role I was fortunate enough to work within a DES provider to provide rehabilitation services to individuals living with a disability to improve their functional capacity and help them to achieve their employment and life-related goals. Through my experiences of supporting people living with persistent pain in multiple roles, in addition to my own lived experience of pain at that point in time, I developed a passion and keen interest in pain neuroscience and treatment of persistent pain. My time as an occupational rehabilitation consultant provided valuable insights into the impact appropriate biopsychosocial holistic healthcare can have on an individual's physical and mental health, functional capacity, and quality of life. This motivated me to start a multidisciplinary pain clinic in Cairns, which has taught me a lot about leadership, the value of a great team, and the importance of a strong values driven work culture.Over the years my insatiable interest in learning more about treatment of persistent pain led me down the pathway of a number of different courses before enrolling in my masters of science in medicine (pain management) at the university of Sydney at the start of 2021, with an expected completion date of late 2022.

Listed skills include Exercise Physiology, Workplace Assessment, Workplace Rehabilitation, Ergonomics, and 29 others.
