In 2021, Derrick and his wife opened Phirst Physical Therapy in Snow Hill, MD, with the goal of serving the needs of the surrounding community. The clinic focuses on treating pain, dysfunction, and other conditions that prevent individuals from performing activities they love. His passion is helping people return to their daily lives, and physical therapy has been central to his career. With specializations in orthopaedics, manual therapy, and sports physical therapy, Phirst Physical Therapy treats a wide variety of patients, including weekend warriors, high school athletes, professional athletes, and everyday individuals.
The mission of Phirst Physical Therapy is to help patients recover and regain function. Derrick, with his extensive experience, opened the clinic to meet the demand for quality physical therapy in a healthcare system that can sometimes feel fragmented. Physical therapists in Maryland – and in most of the United States – have direct access, allowing patients to come to the clinic without needing a referral from a physician. Depending on the patient’s insurance, Phirst Physical Therapy can provide a thorough evaluation, identify the source of pain or dysfunction, and create a personalized plan of care.
We are dedicated to serving the community with the highest level of care possible. The clinic’s values emphasize community service, and Derrick and his team are committed to offering the most up-to-date treatments and the best physical therapy services available.
