Throughout my career as a PT, I'd like to open my own outpatient Neurologic PT clinic! I love treating the neurologic population and would love to have my own space to help those in need.

Danny Martin D'25

Doctor of Physical Therapy student

I've only been on my first clinical rotation, an 8-week experience at an orthopedic outpatient clinic in Austintown, OH. I couldn't have asked for a better rotation. I got to see and treat a variety of ortho diagnoses along with vestibular, neurological, and pelvic floor diagnoses.

I love the fact that as a physical therapist you get to improve the lives of patients as well as spend time with them to get to know them, which is an amazing feeling because they become family/friends so you get to treat them long-term.
