PT, DPT, OCS — Founder, Violet Crown Physical Therapy
Daniel is a UCLA graduate who earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Arcadia University. He cut his teeth in Chicago orthopedics beside the United Center, treating athletes ranging from high schoolers to the NBA and MLB — work that shaped a deep respect for precise, individualized care.
An avid runner himself, Daniel's foot-and-ankle work eventually became a deeper dive into gait and movement mechanics — the lens he now brings to every patient, runner or not. He founded Violet Crown to bring that same level of biomechanics-driven, one on one care to Austin's professionals, athletes, and active adults.
His approach blends current research with hands-on manual therapy, movement analysis, and dry needling — always delivered directly by him, every session, with no hand-offs and no assembly line.
