Meet the Daphne Team!
Beyond the degree and licensing required by law, our physical therapists are clinically educated and trained through FYZICAL. They are altruistic, waking up each morning wanting to help people get back to being the best versions of themselves. Our therapists are passionate about healthcare and making a positive impact on people’s lives.
At FYZICAL Daphne you’ll experience an individualized, supportive approach to physical therapy. One that uses hands-on techniques and tailor-made exercise programs delivered by expertly trained and licensed physical therapists who work with you during your therapy sessions. We not only practice physical therapy, but we live and breathe it which results in high patient satisfaction.
