Daniel Passafiume

Growing up and now living in Webster, NY, Dan has always had a passion for sports and physical activity. His early experiences as a baseball and basketball player, coupled with his own sports-related injuries, sparked an interest in the human body and its performance. This curiosity led him to pursue a career in physical therapy, where he now specializes in orthopedic conditions, particularly shoulders, backs, and knees, with a strong focus on working with sports athletes.

Dan began his career practicing in New Jersey, where he gained invaluable experience treating a diverse range of patients. After two years, he decided to return to his hometown to continue his work, bringing with him a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to helping others. For Dan, the most rewarding part of physical therapy is connecting with patients on a personal level, understanding their unique motivations, and guiding them toward their goals. He believes in keeping therapy fun and engaging, often incorporating patients’ hobbies into their treatment plans.

When he’s not in the clinic, Dan is an avid Buffalo Bills, New York Yankees, and Dayton Flyers fan. He enjoys playing golf, participating in recreational volleyball leagues, and hiking, especially at National Parks like Bryce, Zion, and Acadia. Despite his roots in Western NY, he’s not fond of the cold and spends as much time as possible during the summer at the beach, particularly along the Jersey Shore.
