If you need therapeutic orthopedic not your average work, David is the guy! If you want a nice lomilomi massage and relaxation, call any number of other therapists in Kihei. If you need it fixed and now, call David. Intra-Oral massage and myofascial release are safe and effective techniques that work on muscles both inside and outside the mouth, neck and throat.

Konea Massage & Bodywork offers the best service on the island. David is highly qualified, educated, and experienced in bodywork. His approach is personalized and nuanced. No health detail is beyond the scope of his knowledge and ability to address, improve, and remedy. His bodywork skills are superb, and his professionalism beyond reproach. His fees are reasonable and reflect his impeccable standards. He has my highest recommendation.

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

David is not just a massage therapist, he is a healer.
His wholistic approach combined with his knowledge and intuitive abilities are amazing. He reads the body like an open book and makes connections that are very logical, but that I didn’t realize myself before.
He has a very gentle technique that works deep in energy of the body and helps you to open up and relax and heal on a very deep level.
Plus he is a very nice guy with a great sense of humor.
If you have any body issues, I would recommend David to anyone.

David is an incredibly knowledgeable and gifted therapist. He knows and understands the body so well, it's unbelievable. I'm a Massage Therapist of 10 years myself and I've taught at massage schools for the last 7 years. I decided to try this out while in Maui after reading a few rave reviews. Working with David was such a gift. After years of pain, I have some answers, direction, and treatment plans in place after just one session. I was so blown away by his knowledge, skill, techniques, intuition, and professionalism. Thank you and Mahalo! 🙏

I enjoyed meeting and having my first session. I learned many things and they were all put in ways I could visualize and relate to. First time my breathing opened up and didn't hurt to take a deep breath, will be working on my ankle injury and body aches due to the injury. Looking forward to second session.

David is very professional and beyond skillful at his art of massage! He appears to have an innate wisdom as to what the body needs. He is nurturing and reassuring about our bodies abilities to realign themselves. He loves to share his knowledge about the body When asked to do so. He is acutely aware of our particular needs and goes right to it with gentleness & awareness to help our bodies release old stuck patterns.
David is, in my opinion, a pure angel and gift to humanity!
Thank you David for being in my life.🤟💞🌹

David has been providing me with weekly treatments for 6 months. He is a talented healing therapist who has helped me go from zero to multiple exercise classes and walking 10-15 miles per week 💪 YAY!!!
Along the journey he has modified each session as my body changes and kept me smiling, confident and happy to remember how the human body is miraculous. Writing this on Thanksgiving 2020 and I am most grateful is David Koerner. 🙏

David is a magnificent healing practitioner. It's clear that he has extensive training and experience in this work. I really appreciated the quality of focus, clarity, and deep understanding that he brought to the work. In addition, he has a wonderful, uplifting, and nurturing presence. So glad I found my way to David.
Thank you

I had the great fortune of finding David on my last trip to Maui in the hopes of alleviating some of the pain I was experiencing in my lower back and down my leg. I would walk into his clinic limping noticeably on 3 occasions over the 3 weeks that I was on island but yet able to walk out of his clinic without the limp along with a feeling of lightness. It was such a relief to have the burden of pain lifted off me in only an hours session. I would happily look forward to my next visit and found myself wishing he had another clinic in my home state!
I appreciated his acute knowledge of the human

David was amazing. I was visiting and pulled something in my back, I texted him and he fit me in asap. He spent time talking to me about how he was going to work on it and how I can help keep from doing it again. Then he used several techniques on me that made it so much better. If I lived here, I'd definitely be a regular.

This man is nothing short of amazing! Within one session I saw a major change in my condition. I have been battling almost 2 months with gastro-intensional minor issues. Without telling Dave specifics, he knew what issues were creating problems for me. I spent one hour and within 5 min. after the session was over I was using the bathroom almost normally. Dave has a special touch and gift that I can't even put into words. He is different than most therapists but that is what makes him so special! Go see him, you won't regret it!

David has a unique style. I say that as someone who gets regular massages and especially when I travel. He uses very little lubrication (no oil) and the right pressure to go deep into pain spots, shaking them out of their malalignments...like someone prying a tiny pebble that's stuck some place in the soles of your favorite sandals that once out reminds you of how comfortable they are in the first place. He's open to explaining his work as he goes along, educating you on your body and your posture in the process. His prices are also reasonable. Totally recommend him!

I knew walking in the door that I would be opening a can of worms with any serious work on my inquiries. Well I did and boy was I lucky that it was with David. He is by far the best massage therapist I have ever seen. I had a wonderful therapist years back that I use as my golden standard of comparison, David far exceeded her abilities. If you have an injury or reoccurring issue I wholeheartedly recommend David.

I've had a lot of body work in my life and I can say without exception David is the best therapist I've had to date. His calming, friendly demeanor, extensive knowledge, and his ability to read your body are nothing but amazing.
I tried to get him to move to California with no luck :-/
Nothing but the highest praise for David and his magical hands and intuition.
Aloha and a big thank you to David!

This may be one of my first ever reviews on Yelp, but boy is David deserving of it. Hands down one of the best therapy massages I have ever had. He was incredibly knowledgeable and spent time explaining the anatomy of my body and reasons why I was experiencing the problems I have. He also assigned relevant at home exercises. The session was totally unrushed, he was very courteous, and put other massage sessions to shame. I wish there was a David in every city! I even booked another session while in town. Great service and a best in class therapist.

David is a miracle worker. I was a little hesitant to give him a great recommendation as I want to make sure I can still get on his calendar. I've seen him several times over the past several years and every time he has fixed a muscular skeletal issue I could not get relief for any other way. He is an incredible sports massage specialist and if you find yourself with a recurrent issue he is the one who can fix it, fast.

I can't recommend Dave enough !!!! It's a great therapist, one of the best I ever had. I end up with him just by randoms recommendation on the wave and I couldn't be happier! I got to to his office almost without being able to walk because all the pain I had from a hernia in my lower back, one hour later I was up and walking, 48 hrs later I was surfing and kiteboarding. Save my vacations!!!

If you are looking for something completely unlike anybody else is doing on the island of Maui, you are in the right place. David's skill set is so far out of the box, it almost needs it's own dictionary to find the words in which to describe it.
I am a massage therapist, I own a very busy mobile massage business, I hire massage therapists, I'm married to one...well, you get the idea. Suffice to say David's massage is extraordinary.
When I recently had a nagging shoulder issue due to overuse, David was the first person I called after I yelled at my husband for not giving

I found David through a friend on-island who is a massage therapist herself. I have injured my neck seriously 3 times, and it was in spasm--I could barely turn my head, and after one session with David my range of motion was hugely increased and the pain was down from 9/10 to 1/10. I scheduled a second session and my range of motion is even better--plus, my posture is improved, without any effort on my part. I wish I could see him regularly--I am sure I would be in much better shape; I will definitely be seeing him as much as possible every time I am on-island. He is uniquely talented, and
