Personal Philosophy
– Zig Ziglar
BEYOND THE CLINIC
When Danielle is not in the clinic, she enjoys spending time with her dog, Atlas, and finding the closest thing to a mountain in Florida—a small but rewarding quest for an outdoor enthusiast. Her family is her foundation, and she cherishes moments spent with them. You’ll also find her diving into the odd creative hobbies that catch her interest, keeping life both balanced and exciting.
She is an avid reader, with favorite books including Devil in the White City and The Night Circus—or really anything with a dystopian theme. She loves listening to the Armchair Expert podcast, especially the psychology-themed interviews, and she can never turn down a good alternative rock playlist, Danielle says, “take me back to the ’90s!”.

Our Approach to Athlete Recovery
What to Expect:
A Comprehensive Approach to Athlete Recovery
Injuries don’t just affect your body; they challenge your mental resilience and threaten your ability to achieve your goals. Many athletes face the pressure to compete while injured or receive intermittent, generalized treatments that fail to address the root causes of their pain. Over time, these incomplete recovery strategies can lead to recurring injuries, shortened careers, and missed opportunities to fulfill your optimal potential.
Too often, athletic injury evaluations are performed at tournament/event sites under time constraints, with limited resources and a lack of individualized care. Combined with extensive travel and interactions with various healthcare providers, this approach compromises the continuity of care needed for lasting recovery and optimal performance. While these quick treatments may provide temporary relief, they often fail to deliver rapid pain reduction or prevent future injuries effectively.
At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we address these gaps with a holistic, highly individualized approach. We provide continuity of care that follows you throughout your season, ensuring that every aspect of your recovery and performance is supported. Our model doesn’t just focus on treating the injury but on identifying and addressing the underlying factors that contribute to it. This comprehensive approach empowers you to recover fully, perform at your best, and achieve a longer, healthier athletic career.
Evidence suggests injury risk is multifactorial. The traditional approach of treating your injured body part alone does not address the complex factors involved in creating the injury and limiting recovery. At Back 2 Normal, we provide:

How We Are Different:
Comprehensive Care for Athletes
At Back 2 Normal Physical Therapy, we recognize that every athlete is unique, and so is their path to recovery and peak performance. Our innovative model goes beyond traditional approaches by conducting a comprehensive assessment to uncover the true causes of pain, dysfunction, and performance limitations. Here’s how we evaluate and treat athletes to optimize recovery and reduce the risk of future injuries:
Whole-Body Orthopedic Assessment
We examine your whole-body and musculoskeletal system to pinpoint the root causes of pain or injury and determine how it may be limiting your performance or recovery.
