Neuromuscular Therapy & Shiatsu, David Fairman, PNMT

Absolutely incredible experience that immediately helped alleviate some pain and discomfort that I've been experiencing for months. David is extremely knowledgeable, kind and compassionate! He takes his time and makes sure that you understand what he's doing and allows you to be part of the process.

I have had the privilege of working with David Fairman as my massage therapist since April 2012. When I first met him, I was in significant pain, struggling to walk or even get in and out of a car due to severe back and hip issues. David's care and dedication were truly life changing. After just 10 days of intensive, personalized sessions, I went from barely moving to rowing my raft 87 miles down the Yampa River – a remarkable transformation that speaks volumes about his skill. David is not just a massage therapist; he is a true healer. His exceptional talent, deep knowledge, and intuitive understanding of the body are evident in every session. He combines technical expertise with genuine compassion, taking the time to listen, understand, and address each client’s unique needs. Beyond his

David did a great job working on a recent injury that resulted in nerve impingement. He was very thorough and explained what he was doing and some ways I could continue working on it myself to prevent it from becoming a problem again. The atmosphere was nice, and he was very accommodating towards the pain I was experiencing when I arrived, and checked regularly to make sure I was doing alright as he shifted my position to work on different areas. His rates aren't bad, a little steeper than some places in town but for his knowledge and experience quite reasonable. Will definitely be going back as I'm able to get further relief.

I’ve worked with David for over a decade as part of my commitment to maintaining mobility and alignment while continuing an active, outdoor lifestyle well into my 70s. What sets David apart is not just his technical mastery of bodywork—though that is formidable—but his rare willingness to collaborate with clients as partners in healing. Our sessions were more than therapeutic—they were conversational, tactile explorations of the body’s interconnectedness. Whether recovering from injury or fine-tuning alignment, David brought insight, patience, and skill to every encounter. Thanks in part to our work together, I transitioned from walking with a cane to rowing a fully loaded raft through the Grand Canyon at 75. If you’re navigating the changes that come with time and wish to do so with stre

I have a complex set of issues that I had come to believe would never allow me to resume a normal level of activity. Since going to David for neuromuscular therapy I have not only returned to normal levels, I have been doing regular 5 mile technical hikes! Hiking is something that I thoroughly enjoy, & that my hip surgeon highly recommends so this is a huge milestone for me. David has been able to mobilize my sore, tight, scarred and weak tissues around my joints and bones to the point that I am feeling deeply healed & reaching new goals. Upon reflection it’s really rather miraculous how far I’ve come with his help. David’s intuitive and unique approach to healing along with his deep understanding, level of experience and compassion is a whole new level of care that I didn’t even know wa
