Michael has been a vital partner to help me overcome injuries and identify areas of weakness. He constantly assesses and adapts interventions to encourage recovery. The stretch, glide, manipulate, and dry needling techniques have helped keep me active.

My time with Dr Derry was worth every penny.  After suffering with pain from a car accident almost 4 years ago Physical Therapy was the key to increasing my strength and decreasing my pain.  Dr Derry worked with my crazy working mom schedule and traveled to both my home and place of business.  I highly recommend Dr Derry.

-Jill M.

Dr. Derry was extremely helpful with developing my in-home program.  My back is much better than it was a couple of weeks ago. He gets to know what your goals are, then works on a individual plan with you.  Very good experience!

Finally, Sciatica Exercise That Makes Sense for Older Adults

If you're an older adult with sciatica, you've probably encountered exercise programs that expect you to get on the floor, balance on unstable surfaces, or perform movements that just don't feel safe or appropriate for your body.
