About Dr. Dan

As a Master Level practitioner of Active Release Technique, Dr. Dan Rukeyser has over two decades of experience treating athletes at every level of competition.  A sought-after Instructor, Dr. Dan helps doctors and therapists improve their clinical skills.

Specializing in diagnosing and correcting complex movement problems so active people can keep training at a high level and protect their long-term health.

After selling his Florida Practice, Dr. Dan spent almost four years in Tamarindo, Costa Rica. During his years in Costa Rica, Dr. Rukeyser’s practice evolved through extensive work with world-class surfers, mountain bikers, and as team physician for the Costa Rican World Cup Pickleball Team. Practicing in an environment with limited access to traditional orthopedic care, he refined a diagnostic and performance-based approach that emphasized self-sufficiency, movement quality, and return to sport. This experience led to a core clinical insight: many musculoskeletal conditions are overtreated and undertrained — a gap his current model is designed to address.

PerformPro is a fee-for-service practice and does not participate with insurance plans.

Dr. Dan is amazing! He helped me with injuries from an old mountain biking accident - I've noticed improvement right away and now, after just a few sessions I'm feeling way better!
