About Me
My background, athletic journey, and path toward physical therapy.
Hi, my name is David Shen. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and graduated from Washington High School. Sports have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have always enjoyed trying different sports because I love the social aspect, the friendships, and the opportunity to compete.
Growing up through sports taught me teamwork, discipline, resilience, and how to keep pushing myself. At one point, I wanted to become a professional badminton player. Although that did not work out, it helped lead me toward physical therapy.
I chose this profession because I want to make a difference in people’s lives, support athletes, and help individuals return to doing what they love. My goal is to help people recover, build confidence, and perform at their best level.
Why Physical Therapy?
I know how meaningful sports can be. I want to help athletes and active individuals recover from injury, stay active, and reach their goals.
