Dan Dahle, MSPT, LAT

Dan holds a Master of Science in Physical Therapy (MSPT) and is a Licensed Athletic Trainer (LAT) certified through the National Athletic Trainers Association Board of Certification (NATA-BOC). His LAT credential requires passing the NATA-BOC national certification examination and maintaining ongoing continuing education. Together, his MSPT and LAT credentials reflect a dual clinical background in both physical therapy and athletic training, giving him broader musculoskeletal expertise than either credential alone would provide. He is a member of both the American Physical Therapy Association and the National Athletic Trainers Association.

Dan is a physical therapist at Neuroscience Group's Neenah location, providing physical therapy evaluation and treatment as part of the practice's integrated rehabilitation team. He treats patients with back and neck pain, joint pain, and musculoskeletal conditions using an approach centered on manual therapy, patient education, and individualized exercise prescription. As part of Neuroscience Group's multidisciplinary team, he works alongside neurologists, neurosurgeons, pain management physicians, and other therapists to support patients whose physical therapy needs are connected to neurological or spinal conditions — a clinical context that distinguishes NG's therapy program from standalone outpatient PT practices.

Dan treats a range of musculoskeletal and pain conditions with a particular focus on back and neck pain, joint pain, and conditions amenable to manual therapy. His athletic training background gives him additional depth in sports-related and musculoskeletal injuries. Within the Neuroscience Group setting, he commonly works with patients recovering from spine surgery, managing chronic spine conditions, or rehabilitating neurological or pain conditions that have a significant musculoskeletal component. His individualized exercise prescription approach means treatment plans are built around each patient's specific functional goals and physical capacity rather than a standardized protocol.

Dan approaches physical therapy with a whole-person perspective, treating the underlying problem rather than just managing symptoms. He accomplishes this through a combination of patient education, hands-on manual therapy, and individualized exercise prescription — three pillars that reflect a belief that patients who understand their condition, receive skilled hands-on treatment, and build their own strength and mobility tend to achieve more durable outcomes. He became a physical therapist out of a genuine desire to help people improve their pain and functional level, and that motivation continues to shape how he builds individualized plans that move patients toward the daily activities and functional goals that matter most to them.
