David A. Doubblestein, PT, MS, LLCC, CLT, Cert. MDT is a graduate of Grand Valley State University and obtained his physical therapy licensure in the State of Michigan in 1997. His career began at Gerber Memorial Hospital in the rural setting of Newaygo County, Michigan in outpatient orthopedics. In 2005, David ventured into entrepreneurship by starting his own outpatient physical therapy clinic, Living Hope Physical Therapy. He continues to practice at this location. David has studied many orthopedic manual modalities since obtaining his professional degree and licensure including myofascial release, positional release therapy, muscle energy techniques, craniosacral therapy, and various concepts and approaches to joint mobilizations of the spine, pelvis, and extremities. While working at Gerber Memorial Hospital, the need for a lymphedema therapist became apparent to David and he initially pursued his training through the Upledger Institute International studying the Chikly method of complete decongestive therapy. He developed a lymphedema treatment program for the hospital after accomplishing his LLCC certification. David began teaching for the International Alliance of Healthcare Educators and the Chikly Institute in 2005, and taught various Lymph Drainage Therapy courses internationally. During this time he authored a case study of the effects of Lymph Drainage Therapy on idiopathic Bell’s Palsy, which was published in the Advance for Physical Therapists. In 2013, David pursued further studies in complete decongestive therapy through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies and successfully completed the CLT certification. He is currently teaching for the academy. David is also a credentialed MDT practitioner since 2014, after completion of his studies in McKenzie Diagnosis and Therapy.
