Danielle Shotwell is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Board-Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist who works with active adults and athletes seeking to return to the activities they love.

With more than a decade of clinical experience, Danielle partners closely with physicians, coaches, and patients to deliver evidence-based orthopedic care that emphasizes movement quality, progressive loading, and long-term outcomes rather than short-term symptom relief.

She currently practices in Central and Southwest Austin, Texas, where she has developed long-standing referral relationships built on trust, communication, and consistent results. Many patients return years later or refer friends and family, reflecting confidence in her individualized and thoughtful approach to care.

Danielle values collaboration and regularly works alongside referring providers to ensure continuity of care, clear expectations, and strong patient experiences throughout the rehabilitation process.

In addition to clinical practice, Danielle serves as a clinical instructor and mentor, investing in the next generation of physical therapists while maintaining the highest standards of orthopedic care.

Common referral reasons include:

• Orthopedic injuries in active adults

• Return-to-sport rehabilitation

• Persistent or recurrent musculoskeletal pain

• Movement inefficiencies limiting performance or daily life
