Dr. Michael was very patient with my care after my lower back surgery. He built my strength back and made it more comfortable for me to do everyday things in my everyday life. The process was great and made me feel better after every session. Best at home doctor out there. Highly satisfied and extremely happy
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.

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!

A Safe Way to Build Upper Body Strength After Back Surgery
No more frustration watching your upper body lose strength. This band-based program lets you build muscle safely without risking your surgical recovery.
Why Most Post-Surgery Patients Lose Upper Body Strength
After back surgery, fear of reinjury keeps most people from upper body training. Heavy weights are off-limits, and you're told "don't lift anything." But your upper body doesn't have to waste away. This program uses resistance bands to provide safe, effective strength training that actually builds muscle while protecting your spine.
The Post-Surgery Strength Solution
Resistance bands offer the perfect solution - they provide resistance without compression. You can build strength progressively while maintaining perfect control. Higher repetitions with moderate resistance builds muscle endurance and size without the spine-loading effects of heavy weights.
Perfect For Post-Surgery Patients Who:
Are cleared for exercise but can't lift heavy weights
Want to maintain upper body strength during recovery
Need to build muscle without compromising spine safety
Are frustrated by strength loss after surgery
Want a structured program designed for their situation
Don't let your upper body strength disappear while you recover. This program gives you the exact blueprint to build muscle safely using resistance bands - the same approach I use with my post-surgery patients who go on to full recovery.
For only $7, you'll get a complete upper body program designed specifically for post-surgery recovery. Stop losing strength and start building it back safely.
