Mr Dan Tomassi MChiro MSc (S&C) DC | Advanced Chiropractor

Bupa Recognised Provider | Specialist in Strength, Conditioning & Elite Rehabilitation

Daniele (Dan) Tomassi MChiro, MSc (S&C), DC, LRCC, ASCC, CSCS is a Senior Chiropractic and rehabilitation specialist at Bodytonic Clinic, where he bridges the gap between traditional chiropractic care and elite sports science. Holding a Master of Chiropractic (MChiro) and a Master of Science (MSc) in Strength and Conditioning, Dan is uniquely qualified to manage the entire spectrum of recovery—from acute pain relief to peak athletic performance. His integrated approach is designed for patients who require more than a “quick fix”; he provides a roadmap for long-term physical resilience.

As a senior clinician, Dan is committed to the GCC Duty of Candour, ensuring absolute transparency and honesty in every stage of a patient’s treatment plan.

As a Bupa-recognised Chiropractor, Dan provides specialist care for patients in Stratford and Canada Water. He focuses on the ‘Fix’ and ‘Look After’ phases of the MSK Journey to Optimal Health, ensuring that spinal health is integrated with functional strength and long-term performance.

Dan is a registered healthcare professional with the General Chiropractic Council (GCC) (Registration No: 05203) and his practice adheres to the GCC Code of Professional Practice.

The Performance Mindset: Strength, Conditioning & Recovery

Dan’s clinical philosophy is rooted in the belief that “movement is medicine,” but only when that movement is underpinned by structural stability. He applies the same rigor to his clinical treatments that is usually reserved for professional athletes. Whether he is working with a city professional or a competitive athlete, Dan focuses on restoring functional independence through a combination of manual therapy and precision rehabilitation.

Specialist Services & Advanced Modalities

  • Senior Chiropractic Care: Expert spinal manipulation and musculoskeletal diagnosis for chronic and acute conditions.
  • Return to Play & Sports Performance: Specialist protocols to help athletes regain strength, power, and agility after injury.
  • Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM): Utilising specialist tools to treat fascial restrictions and scar tissue.
  • Medical Acupuncture & Dry Needling: Targeted neuro-muscular release for deep-seated trigger points and tension.
  • Shockwave Therapy (ESWT): Advanced, non-invasive treatment for stubborn tendon pathologies (e.g., Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles issues).
  • Bespoke Strength & Conditioning: Tailor-made programmes designed to prevent injury recurrence and optimise physical output.

The "Movement is Medicine" Roadmap: From Pain to Performance

Most patients come to see Dan because of acute pain, but his goal is to ensure you never return with the same injury. His “Movement is Medicine” philosophy follows a structured, three-stage clinical roadmap:

  1. Decompression & Relief: Initial chiropractic adjustments and Medical Acupuncture to reduce neurological “noise” and muscle guarding.
  2. Structural Loading: Transitioning from the table to movement. Utilizing IASTM to clear fascial restrictions followed by targeted isometric exercises to “wake up” stabilizing muscles.
  3. Functional Resilience: Implementing a bespoke Strength & Conditioning program. This stage uses evidence-based loading protocols to build “armor” around your joints, ensuring your body can handle the demands of a high-performance London lifestyle.
