Daniel grew up in Germany and moved to Nova Scotia in 2011. He completed both his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and his Master of Science in Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University in Halifax, graduating in 2020.

Daniel has extensive experience treating musculoskeletal and movement-related conditions. He has helped people recover after orthopaedic surgery both in the clinic and hospital settings. He also supports individuals managing chronic conditions. He takes a collaborative approach to care, working closely with patients and, when appropriate, alongside other healthcare professionals to support well-rounded treatment.

Daniel enjoys helping patients feel involved in their recovery. By taking the time to listen and understand each person’s goals, abilities, and day-to-day challenges, he creates personalized programs that support their recovery and overall well-being. His approach focuses on practical, guided, activity-based rehabilitation, combined with hands-on treatment and education to help patients regain confidence in activities that matter to them.

In his spare time, Daniel loves staying physically active, whether it’s through running, weightlifting, or playing soccer. He also enjoys being with family and friends, spending time outside, and reading to learn something new.
