David Vaux served 15 years as a London firefighter before a career-ending injury led him to retrain as an osteopath. Researching strength training and movement as part of his own recovery, he became a leading voice in rehabilitation, ageing, and resilience. Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, he had worked across performing arts, international sport, and healthy ageing. David also consults with organisations focused on preventing frailty and has led teams within the UK Government’s Healthy Ageing Challenge. A regular contributor to mainstream media, he is recognised as an authority on resilience and strength in later life. His book Stronger was published by Hachette in 2024.
