Restore PT

I was referred to Derek by a friend to help treat a 6 month old running injury which locked up my hips and back. I tried acupuncture, yoga, massage, Pilates and lots of stretching but didn’t have any luck. There was a 2 month wait to get the first appointment but it was absolutely worth the wait. Immediately after my session, I was able to bend over and sit in a chair without pain. My gait shifted back to a normal pattern immediately and I had SO MUCH relief. I don’t even know how it worked, but Derek is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable and was able to unlock my hips, abdomen glutes and legs . It was nothing short of a very welcome miracle.

Derek's work is therapy beyond therapy. Possibly, his work may be best appreciated by those suffering from chronic conditions who have experienced the entire range of conventional options offered by skilled medical professionals, but are still unable to achieve recovery. I suffered from severe sciatica for nine months before seeing Derek, having sought treatment from a range of top-notch professionals, including chiropractor, physician, acupuncturist, physical therapist and massage therapist--and despaired when all of them admitted their inability to help me fully recover from my condition. As a massage therapist in my 60s in excellent health with no history of previous health issues or injuries, I appreciated the importance of taking care of my body. I understood the importance of follow

I have been a runner for many years and have acquired quite a few injuries along the way. I have seen a few physical therapists during my running career and there seemed to be a cookie cutter approach to the diagnosis and treatment of my problems. Derek, however, really listens and I feel takes a holistic, individual approach to treating my complaint, resulting in more positive outcomes for me - and I am sure, his other patients.

I suffered Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from a Rental Home in LA. After going to Salt Lake City and going through hyperbaric treatment I returned to Richmond a mess. Derek saved me. He has been treating me and targeted the area of my distress to the "Circle of Willis". After months of treatment I am clearer and my cognition is much better. Derek has been treating my son who has Epilepsy for 5 years and we have seen amazing results. I am so thankful that Derek was a part of our health care team so in my time of need I knew who to go to instead of taking the opioids that two doctors offered me. Becky and Dustin are also amazing! Thank you Restore PT!!!

Derek takes the time to listen and stay up to date on technique. Tremendous patience. Becky's nursing background adds credentials to the practice as well as to her organized front desk. I've been so thankful for their flexibility of schedule too. Facilities are always very clean & welcoming.
