Dr. Danielle L. Moreau, DPT, PRPC
Danielle graduated from the University of Rhode Island’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program in 2018. During this time, she was a Graduate Assistant treating at the university’s physical therapy clinic and earned the Faculty Choice Award upon graduation for outstanding dedication to the program and the physical therapy profession.
Her journey into pelvic health and rehabilitation started as a DPT student. She took Pelvic Floor Level 1 with the Institute in 2017 in her second year of graduate school, after having the opportunity to shadow pelvic rehab clinicians in Providence, RI. After both of these experiences, she knew that treating this population was exactly where she belonged. She feels fortunate to have had excellent mentors early on during her pelvic health clinical rotation at the culmination of her DPT education. She has continued on to complete the Pelvic Floor Series, Men’s Pelvic Health, and Myofascial Mobilization of the Visceral Fascia. She is certified in Dry Needling Level 1 through Kinetacore. Danielle is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association’s (APTA) Pelvic Health Chapter, was a 2021 APTA Centennial Scholar, and is a member of the International Pelvic Pain Society. Danielle worked in private practice for three years prior to transitioning to a hospital-based outpatient setting where she exclusively works with pelvic rehabilitation clients of all genders. Her clinical interests include pelvic pain conditions, pain neuroscience education, men’s health, and postpartum return to athletics. She manages a pelvic health monthly blog as she is passionate about educating clients and community members about pelvic health conditions and pelvic rehab. Danielle began working as a Teaching Assistant for the Institute in 2020 and has hosted two Pelvic Floor Series courses in her home state of Rhode Island.
In her spare time, she enjoys CrossFit, hiking, paddle boarding, skiing, and yoga. She balances an enthusiasm for traveling and exploring with spending quiet time at home cooking a meal, snuggling with her cat, and relaxing with friends and loved ones.
“I am honored to be a Lead Teaching Assistant with the Institute. Being a teaching assistant has allowed me to grow and learn from my colleagues in pelvic rehab, and I am a better clinician because of it.”
