MEET THE DOCTOR

SMART SOLUTIONS, SUPERIOR OUTCOMES

Dr. David Didlake, The St. Louis Golf Doc, specializing in golf-specific physical therapy to enhance performance and recovery

Dr. David Didlake

Physical Therapist, Owner

Helping people has always been my passion—it’s what drew me to physical therapy in the first place. My journey really took shape in college, where I played soccer at IVC. Unfortunately, I suffered a hip injury—a labral tear—that changed the course of my athletic career. The rehab process was tough, and despite my best efforts, I wasn’t able to return to competitive play. That experience taught me firsthand how important effective rehab is, and how much it means to someone whose life is centered around movement and sport.

What People
 ARE SAYING 

"Dr. Didlake is a professional at solving pain issues naturally. He takes the time to listen and help isolate the source. I've learned unique stretches that directly relieve pain, and now I do them every night.
His dry needling technique is hard to come by as well. In addition to acupuncture, I see Dr Didlake regularly.
This combination of treatment and therapeutic stretching has improved quality of life and increased range of motion. He's a person of exceptional character, and I'd recommend him to anyone."
