Get to know Danielle Brinkley

• What Sets Me Apart From Other Medical Providers
  "My first encounter with a physical therapist was at the age of 10. My mother suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury that required surgery and intensive rehabilitation. After, what felt like, an extremely long stent in inpatient rehab, my mother returned home to receive physical therapy. I watched as my strong and determined mother, of 6 children, went from wheelchair bound, to walking with crutches, to a cane, and ulitmately to walking independently. Without the help of a great physical therapist motivating my mom, ensuring safety, and educating her on her abilities and potential function, the road to recovery would have been very rocky, much longer, and likely, impossible to reach her ultimate destination of independent ambulation. I believe this personal experience gave me valuable insight into Physical Therapy and the great potential we have to help others achieve full function."
