Meet
Dr. Dani Tolman, PT
Dr. Dani Tolman, PT is a physical therapist with a diverse background in special interests. Known proudly as a “Vestibuloholic,” she is passionate about helping people understand complex dizziness symptoms and return to living with greater confidence and independence, while also having specialized certifications including dry needling, manual therapy techniques, and for treating neurological conditions such as Parkinson's Disease.
Dr. Tolman completed advanced vestibular competency training through the Duke University and APTA Vestibular Rehabilitation Competency Course. She has taught continuing education courses on vestibular evaluation and rehabilitation, presented at professional conferences, served on the Vestibular Disorders Association Board of Directors, and moderates the VeDA virtual conference Life Rebalanced Live.
She is also the co-host of the Talk Dizzy to Me podcast, where she helps make vestibular science and patient care more accessible to clinicians and individuals living with dizziness.
At Elevated Physical Therapy, Dr. Tolman combines specialized clinical knowledge with genuine curiosity, compassion, and individualized care. She believes patients deserve to feel heard, understand what is happening, and receive a treatment plan created specifically for them.
Steven Tolman
Chief Financial Officer
Dr. Steven Tolman brings his background in higher education, leadership, and organization to Elevated Physical Therapy—most importantly, helping keep Dani organized, on track, and occasionally reminding her that there are only so many hours in a day! Steve is a professor at Georgia Southern University, where his teaching and research focus on leadership and organizational practices in higher education, student development, and the experiences that help college students grow and succeed.
While Steve may work mostly behind the scenes at Elevated PT, he is an important part of keeping things running smoothly—and he is also Dani’s partner in life. Together, Steve and Dani make a pretty great team when it comes to encouraging each other’s passions: Dani’s love of all things vestibular and Steve’s love of all things golf.
With four kiddos, there is never a shortage of activity, stories, or reasons to stay on his toes. He and Dani are raising their two daughters together, while Steve also loves spending time with his two older children. Whether he is juggling family life, helping Dani bring another Elevated PT idea to life, or sneaking in a round of golf whenever he can, Steve brings plenty of humor, support, and steady energy to the Elevated PT family.
