Dr. Daniel Smith, PT, DPT, LAT is a physical therapist and licensed athletic trainer with a passion for sports medicine, orthopedic rehabilitation, and performance. Originally from Kentucky, Daniel earned his Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training, with a minor in Food and Nutrition, from the University of Alabama. He later completed his Doctor of Physical Therapy at the Medical University of South Carolina.

During his time at Alabama, Daniel gained hands-on sports medicine experience working with the university’s football, baseball, soccer, and track and field programs. His athletic training background also included clinical experience with the Detroit Lions. These opportunities gave him a strong understanding of the demands athletes face from the moment an injury occurs through rehabilitation and the return to competition.

Daniel uses evidence-based rehabilitation, progressive exercise, manual therapy, and patient education to create individualized treatment plans for each patient. His goal is not only to reduce pain and restore movement, but also to help athletes and active individuals return stronger, perform with confidence, and reduce their risk of future injury.

Daniel recently moved to Dallas with his wife and son to join the PMST family. He is excited to make North Texas home while serving the athletes and active individuals throughout the DFW community.
