Daniel Bowman, PTA
Daniel had a true Southern Utah upbringing which included lots of hiking and climbing the red rocks around Kanab. Physical therapy made a big impact on his early life as a wrestling athlete. So much so that he asked for an internship with a PT in his hometown as a teen and learned to love helping others heal. Years later, he graduated from the Dixie State University Physical Therapy Assistant program which included a clinical rotation in a neurological specialty unit. Daniel went on to work as a PTA in an assisted living facility and enjoyed his work there. Daniel and his wife, Madison have a son, a daughter and a puppy. All are excited to be back in Southern Utah for the proximity to family and outdoor adventures.
