Danielle Majors, OT

"As with many therapists, my interest in healthcare began when I was an athlete in high school. I had sustained an injury while participating in cross country, which lead me to see a sports medicine physician. Being an athlete, I felt that this course of study would allow me to help others overcome their injuries and return to an active lifestyle. I decided to pursue a degree in sports medicine and biology. I had planned on becoming a sports medicine physician, but my course of study changed as I became involved in the athletic training program at Ohio Northern University. I loved working with athletes, but found I wanted to expand my horizons to work with people of all ages and abilities. Of course, I had heard of Physical Therapy, but a wonderful college professor introduced me to Occupational Therapy. I immediately knew this was the career path I wanted to follow"

Danielle graduated from Ohio Northern University with a bachelors' of science in sports medicine and biology, becoming a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). She has a Master's Degree of Occupational Therapy from the University of Indianapolis. Danielle has a passion for orthopedics, especially hand and upper extremity injuries, though she also enjoys working with patients who have sustained neurological injuries. She continues to maintain both athletic training and occupational therapy certifications which allows a great deal of flexibility with the patients she serves.

Danielle is an avid runner who is now able to spend time coaching young runners in cross country and track. She enjoys spending time with her family, camping, hiking and being outdoors.
