Background
Dr. Davies earned her B.S. in Athletic Training/Sports Medicine from Bowling Green State University on a full athletic scholarship for swimming — competing at the 2003 US Open and 2004 Senior Nationals and qualifying for the 2004 Olympic Trials. She completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Oakland University in 2009.
Her approach is whole-body: integrating manual therapy — myofascial release, Graston, cupping, joint mobilization — with dry needling, blood flow restriction training, neuromuscular re-education, and progressive loading. Every patient gets the same thing: a root-cause diagnosis, a measurable plan, and one clinician accountable for the outcome.
Outside the clinic she remains active in swimming, Olympic lifting, and the outdoors.
