What if your pain isn’t permanent—but just needs the right approach?
In our latest conversation, we sat down with Dr. David Itskevich, a double board-certified specialist in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine. His thoughtful, whole-body approach to pain reflects exactly what we believe in at District Performance Physio.
We believe movement is medicine. That people can squat, lift, and live pain-free again. And that recovery works best when providers collaborate across disciplines.
Dr. Itskevich shared a powerful story of someone with 10+ years of chronic back pain—afraid to tie his shoes, let alone deadlift. After a comprehensive and targeted treatment plan, that person is now training confidently and pain-free.
Here’s what stood out most:
-
Squats and deadlifts aren’t the problem—they’re often part of the solution.
-
Pain is rarely just one thing. It takes time, nuance, and a team-based approach.
-
Dr. Itskevich regularly collaborates with physical therapists—just like we do—to support long-term recovery.
-
Even serious disc injuries don’t mean giving up the things you love.
-
The path forward isn’t one-size-fits-all—but there is always a path forward.
This conversation was a reminder of why we do what we do at DPP—helping people return to meaningful movement with the right plan, the right support, and when needed, the right partners.
