MEET The Team

DERRICK McBride

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

When I'm not attending continuing education seminars, reading/listening to books, or challenging my skills with other respected practitioners, I'm putting theory into action. I'm constantly looking for physical challenges to test my clinical practices and to push my own limits. If I'm not in the office, you can bet I'll be outside trying something fun and challenging.
