Highly recommend Dr Dave & Dr Neil. I suffered with TMJ for years, seeing doctors, chiropractors, dentist, massage therapist with no real answers, after being referred to an oral surgeon I stumbled across More 4 Life on a TMJ google search. Before More 4 Life I had pain yawning, opening, and eating Dr Neil took time in every visit to hear my concerns, work on my issues, and make sure I understood my exercises which gave me the tools needed to have lasting relief down the road. He asked questions & offered suggestions to use in my day to day work week that would correct posturing & ergonomics that were causing strain & more pain. Dr Dave dry needling techniques worked wonders, both Dr’s and even the receptionist treat you like a visiting friend not an appointment. More 4 Life was the Best decision for me & I will contact them if I ever have any other issues in the future. The only complaint I had during the course of my treatment was traveling Hwy 270 but I would do it again if needed. Do yourself a favor go to the consultation. Less
I brought a lot of chronic issues to Dr Dave Candy. Unlike other PTs, he was able to offer pain relief on my very first visit. He patiently listens, and actively problem solves each issue to address pain. He taught me modifications for current exercises and also new strength building exercises during each session. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone in need of physical therapy.
I went in to see Dr. Candy because my hip was hurting so bad it was making my leg have nerve ending problems. He taught me how to get out of bed the right way to get out of a chair and to stand. It has helped me so much and it wasn’t what I thought it was going to be. I thought he would push and pull to get everything working right.

Dr. Candy is amazing! I recently took a bad fall down my basement steps and e-mailed Dr. Candy to tell him what happened. I got an appointment right away and was very pleased with the results. He checked all the ligaments in my ankle, unjammed my SI joint, worked on my neck and shoulder and even did the Epley Maneuver because I was very dizzy after the fall.

I have seen several podiatrists, physical therapists, 3 different pairs of orthotics, and still experience foot pain randomly. Walking and hiking can randomly flair it up. Dave was the first health care professional to correctly diagnose the problem with the tarsal tendon and not the plantar tendon- this is in 2024. He has given me exercises to strengthen this left foot. I appreciate his expertise and getting to the root cause so that I can heal my foot. Thank you Dave! Less
Dave Candy used dry needling to unlock muscles in my hip and glutes. He is very knowledgable and I recommend he and More 4 Life PT.

It’s 20 minutes for me then I am ready to go finish my Day..Somedays if the weather is rainy, I might have to relax on heat 2 times a day. Let me tell you this has & remains very positive for me.

My husband & I Both Recommend these Guys for Topnotch Service. Thank You, Cheers, Cheryl & Gary Long Less
Dr. Candy saw me when I was in a great deal of shoulder pain—he fit me in very promptly, and one week later, I am SO much better. I feel like I may have averted getting a second frozen shoulder. I am just so super thankful!

My story starts with ongoing pain in my hips, probably due to my age. I made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon for a consultation. X-rays were taken. He said my hip bones were still in pretty good shape and that I should try some physical therapy to see if that gives me some relief. I called More 4 Life Physical Therapy and spoke to Dave, and we scheduled 6 weeks of therapy with Neal. This was the best decision I made. After a few weeks of therapy, I stopped feeling pain in my hips. The exercises were fairly simple and not too strenuous. I still do them at home because this is a much better option than hip replacement surgery. Neal showed me how to walk correctly, how to stand correctly, even how to get out of bed properly, and showed me how to get in and out of my car without taxing my back. Who knew? Anyway, it was a great experience for me, and I highly recommend More 4 Life to anyone struggling with any type of joint pain. Thank you, Neal and Dave, for improving the quality of my life. Less

Excellent experience 4 treatments made huge impact But after 6 weeks I’m doing great
I came to see Dr Dave Candy because I had a great deal of jaw pain from TMJ. I had tried many different things to get relief but nothing was working. After my visits with Dave my jaw pain was so much better. Through his manipulation of pressure points and his advice my jaw pain was greatly reduced and my quality of life improved. Thank you Dave!

I highly recommend Dr. Neil Rufino for rehab therapy. Before going to Dr. Rufino, I had hip issues with pain and a limp for about a year before getting x-rays and the diagnosis of osteoarthritis of the hip. I had chiropractic sessions during this period without much success. My primary care doctor sent me to see the orthopedic surgeon who in turn wanted to perform a hip replacement. I was open to the idea of the hip replacement but wanted to try physical therapy first. In July 2023 I started PT at More4Life. I picked their facility because of their emphasis on listening and treating each patient individually. I like to play tennis and wanted to make sure I could keep playing. The short story is Dr. Neil exceeded my expectations with the PT program and physical manipulations designed specifically for me. I have been able to walk with a barely perceptible limp and have been able to keep playing tennis with less and less pain. Dr. Neil got me feeling so good that I've decided to put off the hip surgery indefinitely while I continue with the PT. I'm also going to incorporate some regenerative therapy into my treatment (I go in tomorrow for that treatment at a different medical facility). I'm thrilled that More4Life will continue to work with the PT side of my treatment! The long story includes that after a few sessions, Dr. Neil and I figured out that we had been opponents in mixed doubles on the tennis courts not that long ago! On the courts he is a left-handed top spinning fireball who wants to snuff out the competition, LOL! Off the courts, he is an outstanding PT doctor who understands the "tennis passion" and will do his outmost to root out underlying problems, build strength and get your joints back to the best they can be.

Dr. Candy listened thoroughly to the issues I was experiencing, asked many questions & did a very thorough exam & evaluation. From this, he developed a customized exercise plan for me & gave many helpful suggestions for what I could do to improve my condition & alleviate pain.

I would highly recommend More 4 Life & Dr. Dave Candy for your physical therapy needs. Less
Very professional and thorough They listen to your needs and prescribe detailed instructions to follow

Dr. Candy's treatments made a tremendous difference in the quality of my life. He helped mitigate all consuming back, leg and toe pain by listening intently to my descriptions of the pain and then prescribing a series of targeted corrective exercises. What made a huge impact was his direction about how to include/incorporate the therapeutic movements/principles into daily activities. He helped me learn how to maneuver getting in and out of a car, so that it was not a dreaded torture, limiting normal errands and functioning. He explained the physical causes of the pain and when/if an exercise was not working, he listened and always suggested a different movement, often only slightly nuanced that DID help. He is an empathetic, patient listener with an amazing memory. He has a broad range of training and expertise that he calls on to provide a more expansive range of therapies than are available from other therapists. When I was referred for an orthopedic surgeon's evaluation, happily Dr. Candy provided a less extreme, effective treatment plan. Less
I have been seeing Dave for quite some time ! He listens to you as a whole person! He absolutely keeps me going when sometimes I feel hopeless due to lower back pain and foot related to sciatica. I recommend anyone who feels no one listens to me , Dave definitely does !! He has been a godsend to me !! Thank you Dave you have been a lifesaver for me !!

My right foot was swollen When l had a MRI it showed no tendon damage, but a stretched ligament and no arch support. Surgery was recommended and scheduled. Recovery would be approximately 6-8 weeks. Due to my foot being swollen l could no longer exercise which included cycling, spinning, walking and working out with a trainer. I heard about Dr Candy from a friend. I cancelled the surgery and decided to try physical therapy with Dr Candy. I scheduled six visits. After six visits l am back to spinning in ALL 3 positions without pain and working out in the gym again. Dr Candy gave me exercises to do daily which helped strengthen and give me range of motion with my foot. I could not go up on my tiptoe when l started with physical therapy. I now can not only raise up on my tiptoe but raise up on them and slowly lower myself down using only on foot. My visits with Dr Candy were pleasant and therapeutic. Dr Candy is a great listener and does not judge. He NEVER mentioned weight as part of the problem. Which seems to be the ‘go to’ answer for a lot of doctors. Less

This was partly due to how professional he was with his thorough evaluation but also for how great he is at explaining what his evaluation and treatment plan would be and why. He makes sure I understand and is patient with me. Immediately after the first session, I felt an improvement and noticed that the exercises and instructions on how to use my body that he prescribed were working. He also listens to me, if I am unable to perform something, he finds something I am able to do, unlike others who have pushed for me to do things I can't. The more sessions I have been going to, I have been getting better. I've been to other therapists in the past for the same issues and have not felt relief that lasted more than a very short time. I think what is different is not only how at ease he makes me feel, but how his treatments are hitting the core of the problems, not just the symptoms. I trust him completely, am so impressed by his knowledge and caring bedside nature. I would highly recommend him to anyone that has been struggling with pain or dizziness especially if you haven't found relief from other physical therapy evaluations. Less
Best therapy for the money
Dr. Candy is knowledgable and compassionate professional.

I was treated by Dr. David Candy. I have had a persistent problem with the upper portion of my right foot over the past fourteen months. Dr. Candy provided a great diagnosis and treatment of the problem. My pain is gone, and I can resume normal activity. I highly recommend Dr. David Candy for his professionalism & successful services!

Clean. Friendly. Dr. Candy listens to you as you explain reason for visit. Then he develops the plan to help you overcome your pain.
Thank you, Dr. Candy. When I first came to you, I wasn't sure whether my pain was from a real problem or just from getting old. Your understanding and warmth eliminated any apprehension I had. You spent time working on my shoulders, back, and hips. The special exercises that you gave me to do worked so well. I am feeling so much better. Thank you so much.

They have somewhat of a similar approach but I have seen great progress even after just a couple of sessions. Dave provides me with some at-home programs after each session.

So far, I have been able to do my day-to-day activities with more ease, and little to no pain. I work with kids and am very active so having full mobility with no pain is so important to me!

My left shoulder was locked up and the pain was one of the worse I have felt. I was given a cortisone injection with no relief. After two visits to More 4 Life the pain started to subside and my range of motion started to improved. I was so thankful to have found them.
Dr. Dave and his team are stellar. I developed a knee injury running and felt completely at a loss. By the time I left the office, I had a whole toolbox full of stretches and exercises that have made a huge difference!

I came to More 4 Life for painful sciatica and numbness in my toes, after going to a different physical therapy (PT) office for 6 weeks. I was starting to think I was headed for another back surgery and was getting very worried. Right from the start Dr. Candy was kind, compassionate, a great listener and as I learned very quickly, a phenomenal physical therapist. While I was going to my previous PT 3 times a week with little improvement, Dr Candy suggested 1 visit a week for 4 weeks. His approach to body mechanics and movements was so different than what I had experienced with PT in the past. He did a very thorough exam, and he and the other PT in his practice, Dr. Neil (another gem!), gave me exercises to do at home but also showed me different ways to sleep, walk, stand, sit, pick things up, all to take pressure off of my back and the nerve causing the pain…In 2 weeks I felt so much better, I was amazed. I am actually sleeping through the night again, pain free! Don’t hesitate to try these two wonderful Therapists. They’ve been a God send and I’m so appreciative for their care and support. Less

In January I suffered a fall on black ice and consulted the BJC Ortho Dept., where I have been a regular patient for several years and was prescribed physical therapy for the repair of ligaments in both knees. I am a very active, 81 year old athlete who has difficulty in accepting the fact that my body parts are wearing out. So, I was interested in finding someone who could address my knee problems out of urgency and get me back swinging the clubs a.s.a.p. I did expensive research and was impressed with the various on-line videos offered by Dr. David Candy. My impression was that he showed extensive knowledge and experience in P.T. treatments and could help me and bring me back to a point that I can return to playing competitive (age group) golf. At the time of my first visit I was having problems walking, sitting-and-standing, and in climbing stairs both up and down. Activities of Dailing Living were truly inhibited and I was very uncomfortable. While I am still undergoing therapy, I am making good progress and am able to walk, climb stairs and am back to playing golf again. I still have a way to go but thanks to Dr. Dave my overall condition has greatly improved and am extremely satisfied with the professional care I have been receiving. Less
Dr. Candy is great. I had a pain in my right shoulder that was making it very difficult to prepare Christmas dinner. He actually came into the office on Christmas Eve just for me and worked his magic. My shoulder isn’t fixed, I probably need surgery. But Dr. Candy fixed it enough so I could get through that dinner.

Dr. Candy is great. I had a pain in my right shoulder that was making it very difficult to prepare Christmas dinner. He actually came into the office on Christmas Eve just for me and worked his magic. My shoulder isn’t fixed, I probably need surgery. But Dr. Candy fixed it enough so I could get through that dinner. Dr. Candy is a very nice guy, super flexible with schedules and went out of the way for me. I owe you one Dr. Candy. I also went back again because I have a lot of pain in my left leg due to an old injury, Candy was able to improve that as well. I have been recommending him to all of my friends. Less
Dr. Candy is awesome! He treated me for TMJ and related neck issues. My jaw and neck feel so much better. He’s a great listener and thoroughly explains what he is doing and how muscles are interconnected. Would definitely recommend him if you are suffering from TMJ.
Dr. Candy helped alleviate my neck and shoulder pain from an injury I got playing pickleball. He had many suggestions for me, showed me effective exercises and even sent me videos of those exercises. He is innovative and used dry needling on me which really helped.
I am a retired RN, 82 years old and understandably have a few medical conditions. I had very effective treatment from Dr. Candy for hip pain.

For last two years, I have been in much pain with my osteoarthritis in hips and knees. I had been getting cortisone shots in both hips and both knees. With Covid, I was pretty much confined to staying at home. Then, ended up having severe Sciatic pain on my left side. I felt I was losing my quality of life. I was hopeful and determined to help myself. I started Resistance Training on equipment to help strengthen muscles. I was only able to take Tylenol Arthritis and use an Arthritis Topical Cream. Still having pain, I decided to find a Physical Therapist. I called Dr. David Candy’s Office for my chronic pain issues. Dr. Candy is an amazing Physical Therapist. His bedside manners are excellent. And, I know about bedside manners having worked in the Medical Field with many World Renowned Doctors. Dr. Candy is a good listener to thoroughly understand a patient’s medical concerns. After 12 sessions with Dr. Candy, I am amazed of the progress I am making. Dr. Candy is a world of knowledge. He explains everything during your sessions. He has taught me so much and discussed specific tips to help me with movements and pain. His Online Instructional Videos are most helpful. I’ve re-learned how to stand, sit, bend, walk, sleep to naturally relieve my pain. Since seeing Dr. Candy, what would be around the time to need cortisone shots again, I now feel like I do not have to make appointment for shots. This is amazing! Thank You Dr. Candy. I look forward to continuing to check-in with you as needed. You truly are a Blessing! Brenda Sisson Less

The issue that caused me to seek out help from Dr Dave Candy was constant lower back pain that prevented me for from following my normal life schedule. I couldn’t even lie down in bed at night because it was so painful. Previously I went to a few physical therapy sessions at a hospital that provided a sheet of two core exercises I could do sitting up. However I felt I was scarcely in any shape to perform these exercises, much less my daily morning mile walk. Dr Candy substituted hands on therapy of stretching out those tight muscles from different angles so that It became more comfortable in a relatively short series of sessions Each one brought another degree of improvement until I am now pain free. In addition,right from the start, he made suggestions of positions that would be more comfortable in bed, learning forward while walking and climbing stairs to make it easier.He measured the slightly different lengths of my legs and told me to get a small heel pad insert in my shoe that made a remarkable difference. Finally he gave me some easy exercises that could be incorporated into my existing activity like flattening the lower back against the chair while sitting to strengthen my core muscles and a stretch to do at home. As a functional medicine doctor as well as an orthopedic physical therapy background,, he was also providing as well suggestions for good health in general. I can’t thank him enough for what he has done for me and the confidence he gave me that it would get better…as it surely did. Less
So happy I found Dr. Dave Candy, and happy to recommend his services to others. I am a veteran of many physical s, physiatrists, and orthopods. Dave is the best I've encountered. You have his total attention and energy throughout your appointment. He is deeply knowledgeable, and tailors therapy to each individual's needs. He certainly has helped me with knee, hip, and back issues.

I had been suffering with TMJ for several months, it had gotten to the point that chewing was painful. I had spoken with my Dentist, who suggested a night guard. This offered only minimal help. I went to my Medical Dr. who prescribed Prednisone. Again, only temporary relief. During my consultation at More4LIfe with Dr. Candy, he asked about the type of pain I was experiencing , my lifestyle, and my job. Through this he discovered an underlying problem causing the TMJ. I am now pain free without any medications! I believe the extra time he spent talking with me about my TMJ rather than offering a "One size fits all cure" led to the discovery of the underlying cause and my recovery. I'm very happy to have found More4Life and highly recommend them! Less

I was dealing with sciatica, hip pain and TMJ I have been dealing with sciatica for over 15 years. Over this time I tried Injections, physical therapy and chiropractic, but the thing that finally worked was running. Sadly that ended after I broke my foot. For the hip pain and TMJ I tried physical therapy, yoga and internet exercises, these worked somewhat, but the more active I became the more pain I experienced I was not sure if I would pursue treatment with Dr. Dave Candy, but after my consult visit I decided I would give it a try. What set Dr. Candy apart from others treatment was he would find and work out trigger points and provide exercises that truly worked the affected muscles, as well a proper was to do them. Dr. Candy got to the root of my problems and helped me learn the proper way to correct them. He always listened and found ways to help me. I also learned that these entire problems were related to poor posture. I am currently seeing Dr. Candy once every two weeks instead of once a week, and I can say my pain is almost gone. However if I experience pain in these areas I know how to correct the movement and ease the pain. If you ever need physical therapy I highly recommend Dr. Candy Thanks so much Dave Less

Worth the drive, worth the money, worth your time, worth the (occasional) soreness. As a chronic pain suffer, I have gone through many physical therapists. None as thorough as Dr Candy, I came to his practice seeking dry needling therapy. From the initial consultation I knew I had found “the one”. This man is the one who will listen, the one who makes time, the one who is available outside of appointments, the one who will call at the end of the day. He teaches me new things about my body in every session, it’s wild. Every time I leave his office, he sends me out with solutions in hand. A word about dry needling. Dry needling therapy is not for the faint of heart …but neither is chronic pain. So try it, get yourself some topical cbd, drink all the water and thank me later. Need I mention he had a lead on a therapist that does biofeedback? How my quality of life has improved, let me count the ways…. Less

Dr. Candy helped me feel and understand how my body should be moving to prevent further injury and give me relief from sciatica. After a couple weeks, I no longer wake up in the morning wrenching from pain, and can actually have a successful start to my day! I had tried other physical therapists who just wanted to give me steroid shots and do expensive MRIs, only to not find anything because they weren't looking for the cause of my pain. I am very grateful for his dedicated service to helping others find pain relief, as I can finally be confident in my workouts that I am actually strengthening my body, and not injuring it further!

Dr. Candy is very attentive to your needs. He listens then responds in a way which was helpful for my condition. I highly recommend his services.

He's very hands-on in working whatever part of the body that is causing problems. I really appreciate that he only gives a couple of exercises at a time and they are very effective and take only a few minutes to do, which makes them very easy to work into my day. Dave and his staff are quite nice and very accommodating. I would highly recommend them to anyone. In just a few months, I had much less neck pain and a better range of motion to see oncoming traffic, which I attribute to Dave's skilled handling of my case. Less

Even after a year, I still hear Dr. Dave's voice in my head whenever I start to have an ache or pain, and when I remember to do the things that he told me, the pain goes away within a day. They really understood me - I was not going to stop playing hockey or playing other sports, beating myself up, but at least now I know what to do when I do get some pain! I recommend anyone who has on-and-off pain that keeps coming back go to Movement 4 Life. The treatment will help you long past the time you're actually going there.

This is a TRUE place for pain relief and healing! I can't speak highly enough about the care and concern Dr. Candy has given me! I am 67 years old and have had increasing knee pain for 6-7 years. I had been scheduled for knee surgery for "bone on bone" arthritis pain. Three surgical opinions later I ended up moving to St. Louis and found Dr. Candy. He truly listened to me and took me seriously!! What I liked was he was smart, thought things through, was well trained, compassionate, and explained everything to me in terms I could understand. He found the "root causes" of my pain. I learned that pain is multifaceted and that arthritis by itself does not cause pain like I had been previously told. I have been going to Dr. Candy for 2 months and I am already increasing my daily activities since my pain has been significantly reduced. I can shop again! I could barely walk around my house and now am finding it easier to get back into life again! Thank you Dr. Candy for being there for me in my time of need. Your quick response to getting me in for my first appointment gave me so much hope. I have no doubt I will continue to improve in my healing journey! I am forever grateful! Less

After decades of shoulder issues and countless visits to other physical therapists, he solved them within a few months. Every week, I was amazed at how he was able to accurately diagnose and relieve my pain. Along the way, I've learned about movement and exercise strategies to avoid additional injuries. Dave is the real deal. Anyone in pain owes it to themselves to pay him a visit. Less
So grateful I have found Dr. Candy and Movement 4 Life! I have been recovering from herniated discs/whiplash issues in my neck for the last year and a half. I had received several X-rays and an MRI, all of which confirmed there was an issue, but the 3 and then 5 sessions of PT that were prescribed were never enough to actually make the issue permanently better.

So grateful I have found Dr. Candy and Movement 4 Life! I have been recovering from herniated discs/whiplash issues in my neck for the last year and a half. I had received several X-rays and an MRI, all of which confirmed there was an issue, but the 3 and then 5 sessions of PT that were prescribed were never enough to actually make the issue permanently better. The day I found Dr. Candy's business card I remember being at my whit's-end about the entire process. I had already spent so much time at appointments and in physical therapy. I had spent so much money trying and buying new things like mattresses, pillows and chairs at home and at work. I had spent so much energy working on letting go of blocked emotions and negative thoughts - mind, body, spirit - you name it- I tried it - little things helped a little but nothing seemed to bring lasting relief. When I visited the website it said "We specialize in treating women over 40 with chronic pain". I thought... "I am a woman, over 40, and I have chronic pain - Yes! Yes! Yes! Please help me!" After researching on-line, speaking on the phone and then going in for my evaluation I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Candy actually LISTENED TO ME! He didn't make me feel like I was crazy, he understood everything I had been through and explained why my body was still in pain. He was than able to feel the neck, shoulder, back and body issues I was describing and advise how he could help. He talked to me LIKE A PERSON, answered all of my questions, and explained things to me when I wanted to know more. Appointment after appointment he continues to be a PARTNER with me in my healing journey. He has helped me understand the dysfunctional patterns that are keeping me stuck in pain. The standing, sitting, walking and sleeping posture changes I can make to retrain my body to a more comfortable position and provided hands-on therapy to work out the muscles and knots that are causing problems. I have grown, changed and learned a lot while working with Dr. Candy. The biggest thing since my first appointment is that I had HOPE that I could feel good again and that this didn't have to be my life. As we near the end of my treatment plan I am know that I will miss our weekly appointments a as they helped tremendously but Dr. Candy assured me that I can check-in any time or make a follow-up appointment as he will continue to offer support for me anytime I need. Again so grateful to Dr. Candy for his time and attention, I am not sure where I would be without him! Less
Dr. Dave is very knowledgeable, friendly, and a great communicator. He understands human nature and keeps things simple. These traits make him an exceptional pysical therapist.
Dr Dave Candy is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and compassionate. I went to see him for plantar fasciitis and some range of motion issues in my foot. He took the time to understand my concerns and I cannot begin to tell you how much better I feel and I’m back to my active lifestyle. Thanks so much Dr Dave Candy!!!
I have been seeing Dr. Candy for lower back pain and he has helped tremendously. He has shown me how to correct my posture, the way I walk, and the way I work out.

Most logical approach to PT yet; and after over 13 years of recovery efforts I’ve had a lot of experience with PT! Finally, this is really helping.
Dr Candy is very thorough and committed to your healing.
I highly recommend Dr. David Candy and Movement 4 Life. I have been seeing him for about a month for pain in my back and legs.

I highly recommend Dr. David Candy and Movement 4 Life. I have been seeing him for about a month for pain in my back and legs. Unlike other physical therapists I have seen, Dr. Candy’s approach to treatment was different. He sees how everything is connected and how all of your muscles and joints affect one another. I have been to lots of physical therapists in the past for various problems. They each had me do a series of exercises to strengthen the muscles or area that was hurting. After weeks of doing the exercises in their offices, I was sent on my way, now fixed. They fixed the system but not the underlying problem. Dr. Candy did not just treat my problem areas but explained that the pain in my back and legs were all interconnected. It was amazing to me how easily he could see the ways I was moving incorrectly. He then demonstrated, in an exaggerated way, how I was walking. It made me laugh, but it was spot on. He has been teaching me how to correct the way I stand and walk so that I can stop causing the pain in the first place. During our visits, he does a variety of manipulations and stretching of my back and leg muscles. He also taught me some simple exercises to do at home. We spend time reviewing them each week. He has really made me aware of what I am doing wrong, and I am now constantly thinking about the correct way to stand, sit and bend. My work with Dr. Candy and a massage therapist has really done wonders for my leg pain. My pain had been chronic for years. It is now GONE. At first, I thought it was a fluke and would return. It has not. Frequently, I would think, this used to hurt, now it doesn’t. We are still working on my back. Less
I would like to say Dr..Candy is awesome. I was suffering from chronic and severe pain in both hips and lower back and all the way down both legs. Since I have been seeing Dr. Candy the pain has subsided tremendously. The exercises that he showed me work for me. He listens to you and takes care of you. Always professional. Thanks Dr. Candy. Toni B.
I would highly recommend Dr. Candy. Hey seen his ad in the west magazine and decided to call him he has helped me so much I was tired all the time. I couldn’t get up off the floor. I had trouble going up and down the stairs . I just wanted to be able to play with my grandkids and be more agile and energetic. Dave has helped and is still helping. He is awesome. Thanks Dave..
David is very knowledgeable, thorough, kind, and effective. He thoroughly explains what he is doing & why to relieve my pain as well as explaining what I can do for it on my own. I can highly recommend him.
Incredible is all I can say. I’m a massage therapist, and know the body well, but its always enlightening when someone is able to point out deviations that even you didn’t realize you had, and that could be affecting your ability to perform at a high level.

Would 10/10 recommend Dave to anyone who is dealing with chronic pain. I was referred by a friend and have been quite satisfied with my care. Professional and knowledgeable, Dave has also been been willing to work with my schedule, and has helped me reestablish balance so I can continue to work and play. Very responsive, and quickly available for follow up/comments/concerns.

I was better walking the next day but was still in loads of pain. I called Dr. Dave and he got me in for an exam. He determined I had a tear in my gastrocnemius muscle in my calf. He treated me that day and I felt so much better; obviously pain for a while, but much better! My favorite part was that he told me what CAUSED this to happen so I could take measures to correct and prevent from happening again. Dr. Dave also had the best follow up on checking back with me and answering questions AFTER my visit that IveI ever had from any doctor. That to me was just as valuable as the actual treatment. Recommend Movement 4 Life over any other PT practice, hands down! Less
I had stabbing pain in my chest, couldn't breath and hands and fingers were numb. Went to urgent care and they couldn't figure it out. Visited Dr. Candy and within a matter of 15 minutes I was feeling better and have ever since. All done with a few stretches and no medication.
Dr. Candy is skilled and professional. I would recommend he service to everyone who is in need of healing hands! Thank you Dr.Candy, Your work is making a difference in lives.
Dr Dave Candy has helped me more than any other physical therapy or chiropractic visits. He really listens to where you have your pain and takes steps to correct. He helps you help yourself. Today for the first time in a year or more I was able to stay on the treadmill for 25 minutes. It was great! I will continue to see him until my pain is gone and stays away. Thank you, Dave

I’ve recently Had been advised by a neck specialist to seek out a physical therapist. I had been envolved in an automobile accident and had extreme neck pain. This pain was interfering with my job and was mind numbing. Nothing seem to be taking the pain away; I had tried pain pills, ibuprofen and heat. The pain pills made me feel sick and the heat was only temporary relief. I went in to see Dave Candy and honestly was a bit hesitant. Dave asked me exactly what was wrong and wanted to know exactly where the pain was. By the end of my first visit I felt instant relief. I’m still in utter amazement on how I had been dealing with this pain for almost a couple months now and in just one visit it almost completely went away. Less
Dave is great! I went in with shoulder pain, a chronic long term issue and finally got some relief. He spends time with you and really works on your problems, I never felt like he was rushing to get to his next patient like they do in some offices. I can not say enough good things about him

Dave was great. Cut my recovery time in half. I can do all my normal activities, plus sports activities in about one month time. Thanks Dave.
Dave Candy with Movement 4 Life Physical Therapy has me feeling better than I’ve felt for years. Working out was becoming very painful and thanks to just a few therapy session my pain is much improved. Thanks Dave!
First appointment Dr . Dave got to know me and my physical problems . We talked and he was assessing me , finding a starting point .

Dr David Candy performed physical therapy supporting my recovery from total knee replacement. This surgery was the ninth on the knee over about the past fifty years and recovery was a daunting undertaking. His knowledge of anatomy, particularly in my case the muscle, tendon, and nerve structure involving the knee, is remarkable. Coupling this knowledge with his experience in working with prior knee replacement patients was critical in gaining range of motion, strength, and proper use of the knee and leg in a timely manner. It has been five months since the surgery, I am essentially pain free, and I continue to steadily gain strength. I am forever grateful for Dave's expertise in getting me through this ordeal. I highly recommend his services for any issues requiring physical therapy. Less

Dave is has really helped me with my elbow and my back. He's very knowledgeable of anatomy and physiology. He's great with his hands, but the real magic is dry needling. I hesitated for a long time for obvious reasons, but it has relieved pain that has lingered for years.

I was amazed at what incredible results I got in such a short amount of time. I have been to PT before and I felt like the treatment was pretty routine. My past experiences of PT treatment involved braces and “living with” the issue instead of correcting it. I had accepted that there were some things that were going to be painful for the rest of my life and that some of the activities I enjoyed were going to be diminished. Dave disagreed. Dave took the time to diagnose the underlying cause of my pain. After that he locked onto those areas with laser focus. Dave wasn't satisfied unless his results were substantial. His bag of “tricks” or methods seemed to be endless. I waited before I gave this review because I wanted to be sure the results were lasting. I can say with a level of confidence that this issue is behind me! I wish I would have had someone like Dave in the first place. I think Dave's vast knowledge, determination, ability to listen and ask great questions is what sets this PT experience apart from others. I believe that a visit with someone like Dave should be a part of everyone’s annual wellness check! Less

I came to Dr. Candy for help with a wrist injury. I was pleasantly surprised by how much time and attention he gave me. He took time to understand the issue and its history, and then to "work on" my wrist as well.
