Dave Schrader Biomechanics | First-Principles Movement & Pain Resolution

When nothing else has fixed it—fix how you move.

First-principles biomechanics to resolve chronic pain, realign posture, and build lasting strength.

“...the changes I have noticed over the last year working with Dave have been life changing.”

— Dancer • Posture, Migraines & Back Pain Pain 7/10 → 2/10

Avoided Surgery Bone-on-Bone Knee

“After five months, I was entirely pain-free and running again — something I was told 10 years prior I’d never do.”

“After a lifetime of sport and gym work, I was a 49yo feeling 65. 25 years of physio, chiro, acupuncture, pilates, yoga and deep tissue massage provided only temporary relief. I was on the fast track to back surgery and a knee replacement. Dave’s attention to every minor detail is phenomenal.”

After 0/10 pain, running again after 10 years

Severe Back Pain Hyperextended Knees

“My back pain was so heavy I needed painkillers just to move… Within a few weeks I felt the first changes.”

“I was a professional dancer and had to stop due to back pain. Every solution I found only worked short term. With Dave, I built the right tone and structure to hold myself. Today, I feel strong, my chronic fatigue disappeared, and I haven’t had back pain since.”

Before Forced to quit dancing, daily painkillers, fatigue

After Pain-free, strong rotational mechanics & energy

Postpartum Migraines & Back Pain

“I used to carry aspirin everywhere—the headaches and back pain are completely gone.”

“After having my two boys, I had 3-finger stomach separation and daily 7/10 back pain and headaches despite yoga, gym, and personal training. Within 3 months my separation reduced to 1 finger, my feet restored a natural arch with no orthotics needed, and my daily life has transformed.”

An engineer’s eye for how the human body adapts.

I’m a biomechanics specialist and health practitioner with over six years of experience helping people overcome pain, improve movement, and enhance athletic performance.

With a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and a Master’s in Applied Science, I bring a scientific, first-principles approach to understanding how the human body behaves and adapts.

“My own experience with scoliosis and chronic back pain led me to apply that thinking to my own body. By applying these concepts, I began to influence how I stood, walked, and moved day to day. Over time, my back pain resolved and I feel better as I age. I’m grateful to use those skills to help others.”

Biomechanics applies principles of physics to living systems. Those principles are applied to the human body to influence how it functions and moves through space.

Drawing on my studies in ecology and natural systems, I combine scientific precision with a holistic, systems-based approach to health—exploring the relationships between body, mind, and environment to help people restore natural movement, improve alignment, and build strength and longevity.
