Danielle Cox, DPT

Specialty focus: Orthopedics, athletes/active adults, and sports -performance

Dr. Danielle earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from OUHSC after completing her bachelor’s degree at East Central University, where she played collegiate soccer on scholarship. After sustaining two significant knee injuries during her final year—both requiring surgery—Danielle developed a deep connection to physical therapy that ultimately shaped her career path.

She completed one of her specialist clinical rotations with the OU football team, an experience that fueled her passion for orthopedics, manual therapy, and sports injury rehabilitation and prevention. She spent over 12 years specializing in outpatient orthopedics, with a strong focus on active individuals and athletes.

Outside the clinic, Danielle enjoys outdoor adventures with her husband, Micah, their daughter, Callie, and their black lab, Griffey. She loves road trips to the Pacific Northwest and hiking trails with breathtaking views. As a passionate sports fan, she proudly supports Sooner athletics and the OKC Thunder!
