Dr. Daniel Hinnerschitz graduated from Lebanon Valley College with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy in 2012. Since then, he has been employed as a physical therapist at Madden and Gilbert Physical Therapy where he specializes in using hands-on treatments to effectively treat a wide variety of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. Dr. Dan has gone through extensive and rigorous post-professional training in order to help his patients achieve exceptional outcomes. He has been the clinic director at our Dauphin location since 2018.

In addition to treating patients, Dr. Dan is also an Adjunct Professor in the PT department at LVC where he has been teaching since 2015. Dr. Dan’s passion for teaching goes well beyond the classroom. He also travels all over the US to train physical therapists and physical therapist assistants in the hands-on treatments that we use right here in Central PA at Madden and Gilbert Physical Therapy.

Dr. Dan is a native of Effort, PA located in the Pocono Mountains where he attended Pleasant Valley High School. When he was recruited to play football at LVC, he discovered their newly established PT program.

Dr. Dan always knew that he wanted to work in the healthcare field and this was the perfect fit for him. “What I like most about physical therapy is that I get to know my patients on a personal level because we spend so much time together.” Outside of work, Dr. Dan is a sports enthusiast. His favorite sports teams are Penn State, the Green Bay Packers, the New York Mets and the New York Rangers. He also enjoys traveling, hiking, and biking. You might be surprised to know that he spent an entire semester studying abroad in New Zealand in 2008!
