MEET YOUR THERAPIST
Dr. Stephanie Daniel, PT, DPT
Dr. Stephanie earned her Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina. She then went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Armstrong State University - Georgia Southern University, which merged and became GSU.
She began her career at a skilled nursing facility in the upstate and then transitioned into home health therapy. Stephanie also has clinical experience in outpatient orthopedics, worker’s compensation, acute care, and inpatient pediatrics. After witnessing her sister’s experience with pregnancy and postpartum and working with countless people experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction and receiving no help, Stephanie sought continued education and certification in pelvic health. Stephanie received her post doctorate training in pelvic health through Herman & Wallace. She has implemented pelvic health into her prior home health job, where she continues to work PRN to reach the needs of those with less access to care. She has been both a patient and a provider and through these experiences has developed a passion for individualized and holistic care.
In 2023, she founded Fortis in an effort to fill the need for holistic care in the Upstate. She understands the challenges of modern healthcare, and wanted to create an easily accessible space for healing and strength where people are most comfortable.
Understanding the diverse needs of her patients, Stephanie offers flexible options including mobile, virtual, and in-office visits. This adaptability ensures that she can provide high-quality care to individuals regardless of their circumstances or location.
When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time with her dog, family, and friends. She loves exploring Greenville, being involved in her church, experiencing all that the upstate has to offer, and watching gamecock football. She enjoys being in nature and can often be found walking around downtown, hiking, or kayaking.

"I absolutely LOVED working with Dr. Stephanie! She helped me so much while I was pregnant and newly postpartum for pelvic floor therapy. I felt so much stronger in my pelvic floor with my second pregnancy compared to my first, and my pelvic floor has remained strong after birth. I attribute that to how she helped me with my pelvic floor in pregnancy. She is quick to respond, so helpful with anything you need, and becomes a cheerleader for you in the process. I cannot recommend working with her enough!"
