Daniel Foley, DPT
Founder and Owner
Dan Foley brings both passion and expertise to every patient he works with. After earning his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) and a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science from Saint Louis University, Dan built his career in outpatient orthopedics and sports rehab, serving the Greater Chicago area for over five years. Along the way, he’s dedicated hundreds of hours to advanced training and mentorship, mastering the most effective techniques to relieve pain, restore movement, and help patients feel stronger and healthier. Now, he’s bringing that experience back home—fulfilling his longtime dream of starting a practice in his own community.
Dan’s mission is simple: to be a trusted resource for anyone seeking to move better, live without pain, and enjoy life to the fullest.
“I’ve always believed that movement is the foundation of a healthy, fulfilling life. My goal is to help every patient not only get out of pain, but move with confidence and strength—so they can get back to doing what they love, right here in our community.”
