Darrin Schober, PT, MSPT

Get to Know Me

I founded Optimum Therapies on January 1, 2001, with a mission to improve movement and help people live more fully, one patient at a time. Since then, it has been rewarding to watch our organization grow alongside the communities we serve. Our rehabilitation team and ownership group share a common purpose: providing compassionate care and helping people achieve meaningful improvements in their lives.

Although my role has transitioned from practicing physical therapist to CEO, my clinical background continues to shape how I lead Optimum Therapies. I have a particular interest in complex spine conditions and conditions that benefit from hands-on care. Throughout my clinical career, I relied on experience, careful listening, and skilled musculoskeletal assessment to understand each patient’s needs.

I live in New Auburn, Wisconsin, and enjoy traveling to our locations, connecting with our teams, and supporting the work they do in their communities.
