Matthew Danielson, PT, DPT
My specialties:
- Orthopedics
- Physical medicine and rehabilitation
- Physical therapy
Professional interests:
- Spine rehabilitation
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Spasticity management
Best part of my work: Watching patients reach their functional goals in a pain-free or improved pain state. My therapeutic plan of care for each patient is individualized based on the person's preference and encourages active participation when devising such a plan.
Why I became a physician: Bottom line: I like to see people reach their full functional potential in all that this entails including improved mental, physical and behavioral health.
Practice philosophy: My goals are to help patients return to their most functionally independent state through use of multiple modalities in a non-operative setting.
