Hi,

My name is Daniela, 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.

Education:

  • Doctorate in Physical Therapy - George Washington University

  • B.S. in Neuroscience - Johns Hopkins University

  • Continuing education and training in corrective exercise, movement system impairments, and integrative dry needling

For fun:

  • Salsa dancing

  • Running- just did my first half marathon!

  • Exploring Alexandria with my two dogs

  • Binge-watching Netflix

Daniela’s personal touch and devotion to the holistic wellbeing and happiness of her patients, [Is] simply the best.
