What is PKT Physiotherapy and Dry Needling
Ranging from manual therapy/massage/trigger point dry needling, percussive treatment options to corrective exercise prescription and proper work/social ergonomics. Premier KT offers the resources to understanding, engaging, and feel empowered to do your everyday activities with ease.
Who benefits from Premier KT?
Premier Kinesiotherapy was created for those seeking “year-round” care that mixes both physical therapy and dry needling services. The individuals that will benefit most are those who:
Are looking to improve their mobility/strength, posture, balance, performance, etc.
Are involved in professional pursuits that leave their body in pain and their bodies feeling “off” by the end of the day (dentists, artists, servers, etc.)
Want their particular needs addressed through a holistic lens

I’m looking to improve the wellness of my team, what do your workshops entail?
PKT’s Wellness Workshops are composed of two 1-hr blocks, this allows me to see up to 8 individuals per workshop to curb unnecessary disruption to your office’s workflow and ensure that all participants are provided with quality guidance and treatment. Each block is divided into two halves: discussion and treatment/practical application.
By the end of the workshop, your team will have tools to assist them in addressing chronic pain, mobility limitations, and work ergonomics incurred during a typical workday. Additionally, participants will receive a brief treatment consisting of trigger point dry needling, assisted soft-tissue mobilization, or percussive massage therapy depending on their needs and PT-determined appropriateness for the selected intervention.
That sounds like what my team needs, what is the cost and how do we proceed?
Simply go to “contact” and send an email with the subject stating, “WORKSHOP” with a brief message including your name and number of employees that would be in attendance.
The price per workshop is $990. After your first workshop, discuss with Dr. Derkits the appropriateness or any needs your team may have for future workshops to promote a vibrant culture with fewer aches and pains!
I haven’t exercised in months/years after I got hurt, I’m nervous to get started again because last time I did I had to go to physical therapy, which helped, sorta. Is Premier KT a good fit for me?
As a movement expert, I know that the number one risk for future injury is past history of injury. But just because you have an injury in your past doesn’t have to preclude you from living the life you want to without pain/fear of hurting yourself again. I can help you to maintain your movement quality regardless of how many past injuries you’ve had.
Reset your faulty movement patterns, reinforce them through targeted exercise intervention, and reload to strengthen it. It’s that simple. Yet, somehow this is not what you will find with training physical therapists in the vast majority of corporate PT clinics.
Can I use my insurance?
Premier KT accepts BCBS (pending: Aetna, Cigna, UHC) and HSA/FSA.
This sounds great, how do I sign up? What does scheduling look like?
