Hello, I'm Derrick

I'd like to think my combination of varied formal education and personal exploration into movement is what sets me apart from many other practitioners. I've been trained in some of the most ancient forms of medicine to treat pain and inflammation as well as the most modern therapies to improve mobility and rehab injuries to a fully functional level.

When I'm not listening to lectures, cracking books, or honing my skills with well respected practitioners, I'm outside putting theory into action. I'm constantly looking for physical endeavors to test my clinical practices and to push my own limits. If I'm not in the office, you can bet I'll be snowboarding, backpacking, cycling, climbing, skiing, whatever. 

My formal education and certifications include:

• Licensed Acupuncturist

• Certified Fascial Stretch Therapist (Expired)

• Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist

• MS in Acupuncture

• BS in Rehabilitation Science

• Minor in Fitness

• Certificate in Pathokinesiology

• Functional Movement Screen Certified

• Selective Functional Movement Assessment Certified

• 6 Month Apprenticeship in Sports Acupuncture

• Multiple Clinical Rotations in the Athletic Training Room of CU Boulder

• Patients include many professional and elite level athletes including NFL, MLB, and UFC athletes

• Over 7 Years of Experience as a Personal Trainer Specializing in Corrective Exercise
