Daniel Bennett, DPT, OCS, MTC, CMTPT

Dr. Daniel Bennett graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in Exercise Physiology from West Virginia University. He then obtained his Doctor of Physical Therapy at the University of Saint Augustine where he was awarded the Paris and Patla Excellence in Manual Therapy Award.

Shortly after graduation, Dr. Bennett sat for his Manual Therapy Certification (MTC) through the University of Saint Augustine. This is a grueling week long examination of the theory and practice of the advanced manual therapy techniques developed by Dr. Stanley Paris, a giant in the PT profession. He has completed training in trigger point dry needling and obtained his Certified Myofascial Trigger Point Therapist (CMTPT) certification through Myopain seminars.

In March of 2020, Dr. Bennett was certified through the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialties as a Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Orthopedic Physical Therapy (OCS). He is also is an Original Strength Certified Clinician, which is a movement restoration system and approach utilizing the neurodevelopmental sequence to restore reflexive strength, develop efficient movement patterns, and reduce pain to allow his patients to regain their function, improve their quality life, and move the way they were designed to move.

Dr. Bennett was most recently clinic director at a large orthopedic practice and has helped see his company through personnel changes, database changes, implementation of new documentation software, opening new clinic sites, and COVID-19. At this position, he had the pleasure of working directly with orthopedic surgeons and mentoring new PT school graduates. He spent years working with the surgeons and guiding patients through all manner of surgeries ranging from joint replacements, rotator cuff tears, ACL reconstruction, spinal surgery, and many more. Additionally, Dr. Bennett was involved in the entire surgical/rehab process from therapy prior to surgery to enhance outcomes all the way to return to sports screening and high level function.

Despite all that he had learned, Dr. Bennett had found that less and less of his time was being spent in patient care, which is his true passion. The one-on-one patient care model here at Glackin Physiotherapy allows Dr. Bennett to use his skills in manual therapy, trigger point dry needling, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and corrective exercise to reduce pain, restore function, and improve quality of life.

In his spare time, Dr. Bennett enjoys watching football and hockey, mountain biking, backpacking, reading, and chasing after his daughter.
