In this episode, Jason and Jim are joined by Dr. David Meyer to discuss how to only bounce back from injury but be even better than you were before!
David is a licensed Physical Therapist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and former collegiate baseball player. He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from New York University in 2012 where he gained sport specific clinical experience at several premier New York institutions including Columbia University.
Following graduation, David had the fortunate opportunity to collaborate and work for the former President of the Sports Physical Therapy Section, Tim Tyler at PRO Sports Physical Therapy in Scarsdale, NY. At PRO Sports Physical Therapy, David developed a niche for treating the overhead athlete working with individuals at the high school, collegiate, and professional level.
Following this position, David decided to further his specialization as a Sports Physical Therapist, and completed the prestigious Hospital for Special Surgery Sports Residency. Through his vast continued education and career development he was hired by the St. Louis Cardinals in December of 2014 as the St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Medical and Rehabilitation Coordinator. During his time spent with the St. Louis Cardinals he successfully developed and oversaw the entire Jupiter, Florida rehabilitation program, taking athletes throughout the entire return to play process.
His strong efforts in Major League Baseball allowed the St. Louis Cardinals to return dozens of injured players at both the Major and Minor league level back to their full level competition. Through David’s past experiences he has become a go-to expert in bridging the gap between rehabilitation and performance through perfection of the return to play process, along with the optimization of athletes physical performance.
