NEVER GIVE UP!

I’M DR. DANI ESPINO

Miami’s Performance PT for Runners

Injury recovery and performance coaching for runners, by a runner. Whether you're chasing a PR or just want to run pain-free, your plan starts here. I'm here to help you move past injury and get back to what you love—running. No more guesswork. Just a clear path to a stronger, faster, more resilient you!

GETTING BACK TO RUNNING SHOULDN’T FEEL LIKE A ROLL OF THE DICE.

You’re probably here because you’ve already tried everything—

You’ve rested. Stretched. Foam rolled. Skipped runs. Maybe even missed races that matter. But you’re still not where you want to be.

Let’s break that cycle by creating a plan grounded in science, shaped by experience, and tailored to your body, your training history, your life demands, and your specific goals.

No fluff. No rigid protocols. Just clear, personalized care to help you reclaim your running.

How Can I Help You?

I’m Dani Espino

A Miami-based performance physical therapist, former collegiate running coach, and former NCAA DI collegiate cross-country and track & field athlete.

I help runners move past injury and get back to doing what they love. Too often, the medical system discharges runners before they're truly ready to return to training. My mission is to bridge that gap between rehab and performance—so you’re not just recovering, but progressing with a clear plan for healthy, consistent running, whether it's for fun or a personal best.

Let’s get you back in control—and back to running strong.

  • What People Are Saying

    I am a long time high mileage marathon runner and had been dealing with hamstring tendopathy that really started to bother me when I was running. I went to see Dani and she is a lifesaver! First, she is a runner so I felt like she could immediately relate to me and structure a rehab program specific to my needs. She developed a program for me that still incorporated running and would frequently adjust our plan based on how I was feeling. She was extremely knowledgeable and responsive to all of my questions. I will definitely use Dani in the future and recommend her to any athlete who is struggling with an injury!

    I can’t recommend Dr. Dani highly enough! She is extremely knowledgeable and competent, but still takes the time to make sure I understand the what and why of our plan. I came to Dani with pain in my thigh and she immediately flagged it as a possible bone stress injury, so by the time I had imaging that confirmed the diagnosis, we had already started on a plan. Seeing Dani and trusting her absolutely saved me from pushing my injury too far, and our strategy had me back running pain free in only about two months. Dani is also a force of joy in the atl running community!! I recommend her to everyone I run with, and most of them already know and love her!

    I came to see Dani after sustaining several injuries from overdoing it with running. She quickly identified the sources of the issues & created a treatment to fix them. In the treatment plan Dani crafted, she made a point to fix issues she identified that would lead to future injuries if not addressed. She worked with me as partner more than a patient throughout the process, an extra touch which went a long way. All in all in was a joy to work with Dani & I came out of working with her as a better runner. I cannot recommend Dani enough as a physical therapist!

    Dr. Dani is the best PT I've ever had! She makes realistic and individualized case plans and really helps treat the whole person, not just the injury. She's responsive, supportive, flexible, and it's really clear she cares about the people she works with and cares about what she does. I'm so glad we worked together, and while I hope I don't get an injured again, I know I have someone in my corner if I do.
