Bob Daul, MPT

Bob holds a Master of Physical Therapy (MPT) and is licensed as a physical therapist in Wisconsin. He holds a Dry Needling Certification from Myopian Seminars, which qualifies him to perform dry needling as a treatment for muscle pain, trigger points, and related conditions. His 600-plus hours of continuing education in manual treatment of the spine, while not a single credentialing designation, represents a documented level of clinical investment in this subspecialty that is meaningfully above what most outpatient PTs accumulate.

Bob is a physical therapist at Neuroscience Group's Appleton OSP location, providing physical therapy evaluation and treatment with a primary focus on manual therapy and spine-related conditions. He specializes in treating injuries and pain conditions involving the low back, shoulders, hips, neck, and tension headaches using hands-on manual therapy techniques refined through more than 600 hours of specialized continuing education. He also offers dry needling as part of his treatment approach for patients with muscle pain, trigger points, or conditions where this technique adds clinical value. Working within Neuroscience Group's integrated team, he regularly treats patients whose physical therapy needs are connected to spine surgery recovery or pain management programs.

Bob specializes in treating injuries and pain conditions of the low back, shoulders, hips, and neck, as well as tension headaches. His manual therapy expertise and dry needling certification make him particularly well-suited to patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain, myofascial pain, trigger point pain, and post-surgical rehabilitation following spine procedures. He recognizes that chronic issues often involve multiple mechanisms of injury and that addressing only one component rarely leads to durable recovery — an insight that shapes how he evaluates and treats each patient's full clinical picture rather than just the presenting complaint.

Bob believes in treating the whole patient, recognizing that pain — especially chronic pain — rarely has a single cause. His clinical philosophy is that understanding and addressing the multiple factors contributing to a person's pain is the path to lasting recovery, not just symptom management. His more than 600 hours of continuing education in spinal manual therapy reflects a sustained investment in developing the depth of skill needed to do this effectively. He chose physical therapy because he genuinely wanted to be at a job where he could help people, and that original motivation continues to shape how he shows up for each patient — attentive, skilled, and committed to outcomes that matter in daily life.
