"Dani is an amazing physical therapist! She listens to your impairments and goals and tailors your program to you!” - M.D.
Daniela Zapata, PT, DPT
Hi! My name is Daniela (or Dani), and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in helping working adults fix the chronic neck, shoulder, and back pain that comes from spending hours at a desk, as well as movement limitations holding you back from being active.
As someone who understands the demands of a professional lifestyle, I know how frustrating it is when pain interferes with your work, workouts, and daily life. My approach focuses on identifying the root cause of your pain- not just treating symptoms- through comprehensive movement assessments and personalized treatment plans.
I take the time to understand how your daily habits, work setup, and movement patterns contribute to your pain, then give you practical solutions you can actually implement.
