Daniel Jang

I started my journey as a dancer specializing in Urban Hip Hop, which sparked my natural curiosity about injury prevention and pain management. Years of dancing and personal injuries fuelled my passion for understanding the human body and inspired me to pursue a career in physiotherapy.

Physiotherapy is not just my profession—it’s my mission. I’m committed to uncovering the root cause of your physical challenges, developing the most effective treatment plan, and implementing actionable solutions from day one.

During sessions, I combine hands-on manual therapy with tailored exercise programs to deliver a comprehensive approach to recovery. I believe in the power of movement and exercise as tools for building self-efficacy and fostering long-term health management.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll likely find me at the gym or refining my dry-needling techniques (yes, I even dry needle myself on weekends!).

I hold an advanced certification in Dry Needling and Western Acupuncture, specializing in the cervical spine, head region, TMJ, and upper limbs. My clinical experience includes treating a variety of conditions, such as:

  • Chronic foot pain and plantar fasciitis
  • Ankle fractures and ACL pre-hab/rehab
  • Meniscal and muscle tears (hamstring, calf, rotator cuff)
  • Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS)
  • TFCC injuries, tennis/golfer’s elbow, and frozen shoulder
  • Wry neck, whiplash, and cervicogenic headaches
  • Chronic and acute lower back pain, sciatica, and rib fractures

My expertise includes manual therapy, personalized exercise prescription, and education to empower clients in managing their conditions and achieving lasting recovery.

Here are six key benefits of IV Vitamin Therapy:
  1. Enhanced Nutrient Absorption
    IV vitamin therapy delivers essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system. This ensures optimal absorption and immediate availability for the body to use, especially for individuals with absorption issues or chronic conditions.
  2. Boosted Energy Levels
    IV therapy can combat fatigue, jet lag, or burnout by replenishing the body with energy-boosting nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, and amino acids. It helps you feel revitalized and ready to take on the day.
  3. Improved Immune Support
    High-dose vitamin C and other immune-boosting nutrients in IV therapy strengthen the body’s defenses, helping to prevent illness or recover more quickly from infections like colds or flu.
  4. Hydration and Detoxification
    IV therapy provides immediate hydration, flushing out toxins and promoting better organ function. It’s an effective way to counter dehydration, whether from physical exertion, illness, or overindulgence.
  5. Enhanced Skin, Hair, and Nail Health
    Nutrients like biotin, vitamin C, and antioxidants delivered through IV therapy can improve skin elasticity, reduce signs of aging, and promote healthy hair and nails by nourishing cells from the inside out.
  6. Relief from Chronic Conditions and Pain
    IV vitamin therapy is often used to support individuals with chronic conditions like migraines, fibromyalgia, or autoimmune diseases. It helps reduce inflammation, ease pain, and improve overall well-being.

This therapy is a quick, effective way to enhance your health and support your body’s needs for vitality and optimal function.
