David Koerner Konea Massage Maui — Local services in Maui

I've been living with chronic neck and shoulder pain for over four years and have seen more practitioners than I can count, including general doctors, pain specialists, massage therapists and physiotherapists. Nothing has ever come close to the experience I had with David at Konea Massage.

I was visiting Maui from Victoria, BC, and typically, long flights leave me in significant pain. I booked an appointment with David for my second day on the island, hoping for some relief. What I received was far beyond anything I expected.

David is intuitive, deeply knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. In just one session, I felt a shift in my body that I hadn’t felt in years. I immediately booked a second session during the same trip, not just because I felt better, but because I wanted to absorb as much of his insight and healing as I could.

He didn’t just treat my neck and shoulders. He addressed my shin splints, realigned structural imbalances in my spine, taught me proper diaphragmatic breathing, and even helped release emotional tension I didn’t realize I was carrying.

David is in a league of his own. I’ll be returning to see him every time I’m in Maui. Back home, I’ll continue my search for someone even remotely comparable, though he’s set the bar incredibly high. I’m beyond grateful for the care, knowledge, and transformation I experienced....

I had originally heard of David from a patient of mine at Kaiser Permanente on Maui who had great experiences with his work. I had noticed that my patient’s alignment and gait was improving and was able to do the exercises I had recommended with more ease than before. I attribute that to David’s intuitive work. I began to refer many of my Kaiser patients to David for additional outside manual therapy, as the HMO system does not allow for much time with our patients as well as space for timely followup. My husband also started going to David, and I definitely noticed a big improvement in his posture and gait. Eventually I was able to have a session with David, and was able to experience first-hand David’s work. He has a very easy-going yet professional manner, with an intuition and knowledge of addressing and reorganizing the structural, visceral, and energetic building blocks of our body that the chaos of life and stress tend to disrupt. There are a few practitioners on island and the mainland that I would trust to work with, and I highly recommend David as one of your guides to better health...

I am a professional athlete that has been working with David for several months now. His ability to read bodies and problem solve ways that work for different injuries and trouble areas is unmatched. He has not only helped me recover from past injuries, he also has helped me recover as new ones have arose. I worked with him extensively before my first international competition, and it was through the body work with David that I was able to perform at 100%. I had issues with elbow tendonitis and some pain in my knee leading up to the competition and he helped by doing work around those areas, provided continuing support with the application of kinesio tape, and gave me exercises and strategies to continue supporting those areas while on the road. The first thing I think when I have a new issue arise is - I’m booking an appointment to see David. He has helped me be at the top of my game physically so that I can perform at the top of my game doing what I love. I can’t recommend David enough for any body work needs...
