Meet our therapist, Dereck Hope.
Dereck has been practicing physical therapy for approximately 27 years. He graduated from the University of Utah in physical therapy. After graduating and working in Utah for a little while, his family moved to Mississippi. There he owned his own practice and had a successful clinic. As much as he and his family loved the South, they missed Utah more! He has been with Performance West since 2017.

Dereck uses multiple modalities in physical therapy. His favorites by far, is trigger point dry needling - he has been certified and practicing that skill for 9 years now. Many of his patients have found it very beneficial!
He enjoys working with patients of all ages -from the young athletes to our golden age patients.
Dereck is certified in TPDN ( Trigger Point Dry Needling) , Pelvic Floor, Kinesio University Certified, as well TPI certified (Titliest Performance Institute).

In his spare time he enjoys fishing, golfing, reading, staying active, and spending time with his family.

Make sure to watch a video of Dereck performing on a patient and explaining the benefits. (Separate post)

Meet ! Amanda is located in our main office in Bountiful. She graduated from the University of Utah with extra coursework specializing in balance, dizziness and fall prevention treatment. She has also gone on to treat and specialize in concussion management -as well can treat orthopedic injuries!

Swipe through the photos to do a little test. Can you stand on one leg? Try it! How long can you do it with your eyes closed? How did you do?? Single leg stance is an important functional measure related to strength in your hip and ability to sense joint position. When you close your eyes, and your vision can’t help you, then you have to rely upon your inner ear and the sensations in your feet and joints to tell you to stay upright. If this task was challenging for you, then you should practice! 🙂
You can improve your balance at any age! If you have concerns, or you are way below the average you can be at risk for falls so let’s get you checked out! Call 801-295-3553 to make your appointment with Amanda!

You got this! 👊🏼

Physical therapy is recognized as a “direct access” health service in the state of Utah.
This means a physician referral is not required for physical therapy services for *most* insurances. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as Medicare or Medicaid plans.
When a patient comes to one of our therapist, we evaluate and treat and are more than happy to refer out to one of our amazing network of physicians in all specialties if needed.
If you are interested in making an appointment call one of our offices and they can let you know for sure if your insurance plan needs a referral or not.
We want to help you feel better so that you can live your best healthy life you desire!
