Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: When I work with my clients, I work to improve their life in all aspects. Having my doctorate in physical therapy has allowed me to develop effective training and rehabilitation protocols that will improve the way we all move. I am bridging the gap between traditional physical therapy treatment and personal training. The benefits of my coaching ranges from improved strength, improved movement patterns, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and balance to more self-confidence, enhanced mood, increased energy, better sleep, healthier blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels. Personal Training: I apply my extensive knowledge of pain and rehabilitation in order to enhance the effectiveness of training with/without pain. Exercise is important for everyone, don't let pain prevent you from achieving you fitness goals. I train clients of all ages, youth who are looking to learn optimal biomechanics while exercising to achieve a long and active lifestyle and clients who are older and have limited mobility. Together, we can achieve your goals. Longevity is the name of the game in life, as we prolong our lifespan we need to create a more optimal quality of life. This is based on movement throughout your life. Move now, move later. Physical Therapy: I always work 1-on-1 with my clients, you will always be heard and you will get out of pain. I use a combination of soft-tissue work, joint mobilizations, cupping, dry needling, IASTM, red light therapy, compression therapy and most importantly education and exercises so that your body can learn how to move and become resilient. Life Coaching: I have overcome so many obstacles in my life thus far that have lead me to be a first generation college graduate in my family, complete my doctoral degree, open a successful business and be in a position to help others achieve their goals. In addition to personal and professional experiences, I have had a lot of success in fitness & wellness and I help my clients daily to achieve their goals. Let's work together to get you heading in the direction that you want for your life. No matter how long you have been in pain, if you’re done with it and ready for a change, then I can help. OR if you are looking to keep your body out of pain while increasing training, I know exactly how to do that. Now accepting new clients for personal training and physical therapy. Packages and pay as you go available. HSA/FSA funds accepted.

Derrick is awesome. He understands our body, flexibility and our goals and creates a plan specific to our needs. It’s little over a month, my wife and I already notice a difference. Great guy!!

I came to doctor Faunt, to dial in my recovery for competing at a high level in CrossFit! He showed me multiple different stability issues and technique adjustments that improve my performance drastically! After working with him for a short time I am moving more efficiently than I ever have! Once I work with Derrik all my lifts have improved! If your looking for someone who truly cares about every client and is going to help you with your individual goals derrik is your guy! He takes time to work with you and helps to improve whatever weakness you may have! I highly recommend you check him out if you want to see results and feel the best shape and recovery of your life! -Trevor C

Highly recommend!! Dr Faunt was amazing!! I’ve been struggling with a tight hip/lower back for quite some time now. After my first session I was already feeling a difference. I am super excited for my future sessions!

Derrik is the BEST! I have really enjoyed training with him the last few months. He takes a holistic approach focusing on both body and mind. He is motivational without being “in your face”, which I appreciate. All of my sessions are personalized to my goals and he is always willing to pivot if those goals change. Derrik is highly educated, being a physical therapist and personal trainer, so I always feel safe doing the exercises he asks me to do. I recommend him to all of my friends and family, and HIGHLY recommend you go see him too!
Derrik Faunt PT, DPT, PPSC Trainer's reply
Hey, Liz! thank you for your kind words. I have enjoyed working with you as well and look forward to helping more clients with my holistic approach. It is so important to view the entire person when working with a client, educating my clients is really important to me so that we can work together to achieve the most optimal results for each of my clients!

This facility is top notch and provides a great array of treatment techniques. Treatments can include needling, Normatec compression, tissue/muscle manipulation, and other new age techniques. He has helped my wonky shoulder pain and helped mitigate other ongoing aches. Derrick is an extremely knowledgeable, understanding, and great DPT and takes the time to truly understand and diagnose what may be going on with you. I can't say enough about how great this place is and if you are hesitant, don't be!
Derrik Faunt PT, DPT, PPSC Trainer's reply
Thank you for your review! I am so glad that you love our facility and have seen great results working with me. I am always here to help you and all of my clients!
