Dr. Matthew Danneker, founder of KinesioDR. MATTHEW DANNEKER   /   FOUNDER

HIS BACKGROUND

From the field to physical therapy.

Matt earned his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in 2002, with a specialty track in sports medicine. He also played soccer for the Broncos. Legend has it that he was pretty good with his left foot.

Shortly after graduation, Matt became a certified athletic trainer (ATC). He has had the opportunity to work with athletes across many levels, from youth, high school, and collegiate sports to professionals and Olympians.

In 2007, Matt earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree from Loma Linda University. His experience spans clinical and home-based settings.

Matt continually works to improve his skills in clinical and functional manual therapy techniques. Continuing education is central to his approach: he is always looking for new ways to help patients through movement, and he believes learning is a lifelong journey.
