Danielle Shugard, DPT

Danielle’s interest in helping people began at a young age. She spent many hours volunteering at a therapeutic riding center in her hometown of Middletown NJ. Granted, when she started it was mainly to spend more time with the horses, but she also loved spending time with the participants, seeing the pride they felt in the progress they made from week to week was something really special.

Danielle’s specific interest in physical therapy came when she tore her ACL playing basketball in high school. After spending many months rehabbing her knee to return to sport, she felt like she had found a job that could fulfill her interest in helping people. She went to Northeastern University and graduated in 2011 with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy, a BS in Rehab Science, and a Minor in Psychology.

Since then she has been practicing in New Jersey and Florida, in a variety of settings including outpatient practices, skilled nursing facilities, sub acute rehabs, and at multidisciplinary offices. She now lives in Loxahatchee, Florida with her husband, two daughters and variety of pets. (Source)
