Our Staff
Dan Kinney, PT
Core Physical Therapy was created by Dan Kinney, PT. His goal was to provide high quality physical therapy and sports medicine with a dynamic proactive approach. Resisting the trend of high volume practices, Core works with each patient individually to treat more than symptoms and uncover the true source of their problem. Dan and the staff at Core Physical Therapy work one on one with patients to create a custom plan for their recovery.
This unique approach has evolved over years of experience and training:
- Graduate of Northwestern University Physical Therapy Program, 1979
- Physical Therapist in numerous orthopedic and sports medicine settings
- Director of outpatient physical therapy clinics since 1980
- Sport Therapist for area high schools
- Sport Therapist for U.S. Olympic Team
- Adjunct Professor and Clinical Education Instructor in Physical Therapy and Athletic Training Programs at California State University, Northridge
- Physical Therapist for NBA Summer League and other professional athletes
- Member of Functional Rehabilitation Network
- Member of American Physical Therapy Association, Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Section
Dan's extensive experience has afforded him the opportunity to develop the comprehensive rehabilitation programs provided at Core Physical Therapy and gain the experience necessary to operate a first-rate physical therapy facility.
Dan remains passionate about opening many Core Physical Therapy facilities that will include rehabilitation and sports medicine under one roof guided by highly trained staff while providing the best in customer service. Dan continues to treat patients as well as operate the business.
