About Dr. Amanda Davidson

PT, DPT, MTC, CMTPT. Senior Therapist.

Dr. Davidson earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with honors from the University of St. Augustine in 2013, where the curriculum centered heavily on manual therapy. She graduated summa cum laude from Clemson University in 2011 with a B.S. in Health Science.

She holds a Manual Therapy Certification from the University of St. Augustine and became certified in dry needling in 2017, building on continuing education in joint mobilization, spinal manipulation, myofascial release, and trigger point work. She has also taken advanced coursework on treating CrossFit athletes and on running rehabilitation and running analysis.

Amanda has run competitively since high school, from 5Ks to marathons, and uses video gait analysis alongside a detailed functional evaluation to find the root cause of a runner’s pain. She also specializes in women’s health, including exercise during pregnancy and returning to activity postpartum, an area she understands firsthand as a mother of two.
