Meet Dr. Brianna Darneal - SLO Native & Vestibular Rehabilitation Specialist

We are back to bring you another glimpse into Precision and our dedicated team of doctors, this time introducing you to Dr. Brianna Darneal!

​Brianna joined our team in September 2021, bringing with her a unique blend of skills and a passion for helping others. She earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Chapman University in 2019, but her academic journey started at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where she double-majored in Film and Digital Media and Art. Her creative background gives her a fresh perspective on problem-solving and movement analysis, which she uses to help her patients thrive.

​Brianna is a San Luis Obispo native, so she knows the area like the back of her hand. When she’s not at the clinic, you can find her dancing—whether it’s ballet, salsa, west coast swing, or blues! She also loves exploring the beautiful hiking trails and beaches around town, and spending quality time with her husband and young son. Her love for movement and the outdoors shines through in her work, where she’s dedicated to helping her patients feel their best.

Specializing in treating orthopedic and neurological conditions, Brianna uses her skills to create personalized treatment plans for her patients. She’s also trained in vestibular rehabilitation and is LSVT Big certified, which means she’s well-equipped to help patients with Parkinson’s disease improve their mobility and quality of life. One of the things Brianna loves most about being a physical therapist is seeing the progress her patients make—whether it’s less pain, more confidence, or just feeling better overall.

Looking ahead, Brianna is excited about building a vestibular rehabilitation program right here in San Luis Obispo. She’s passionate about expanding the services we offer and making sure our community has access to the best care possible.
