Derrek from Enbalance Bodywork is revolutionizing chronic pain treatment through his mastery of Rapid Neurofascial Reset, a technique that delivers results where traditional approaches often fall short. His journey from massage school to specialized practitioner has equipped him with unique skills to address debilitating conditions including frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, and migraines.
What makes Derrek's approach remarkable is his understanding of pain's neurological components. "The highest concentration of pain receptors are actually on the outer layer of bone," he explains, revealing why surface-level treatments rarely provide lasting relief. Through targeted stimulation of these areas, he's able to reset the nervous system's pain responses, offering hope to those who've exhausted conventional options.
His success with plantar fasciitis exemplifies his comprehensive methodology. While most treatments focus solely on the foot, Derrek addresses the entire kinetic chain, particularly the calf and hamstring. This whole-body perspective has earned him an impressive 95% success rate, with grateful patients driving hours for his treatments. Some arrive in such severe pain they must crawl to the bathroom in the morning; others have contemplated ending their lives before finding relief through his techniques.
Derrek's philosophy extends beyond physical treatment to a deeper understanding of health and entrepreneurship. "You get paid in proportion to the difficulty or problems you solve," he shares, encouraging aspiring practitioners to develop expertise rather than chase trendy treatments. In a world of quick fixes—pills, surgeries, cryotherapy—he stands apart by investing in long-term solutions and building meaningful relationships with clients committed to their health journey.
If you're struggling with chronic pain that hasn't responded to conventional treatments, Derrek's unique approach might be the answer you've been seeking.

Be sure to subscribe, like andeven comment on these videos.
So, with that being said, Iwant to kind of dive into and
(01:09):
get to know Derek a little bit,and let him tell us about his
background.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Sure.
So it's kind of a long story.
How do I shorten it?
Really, just my background's inclinical massage.
I went to massage school.
I got hired at a rehab center.
They told me this is not a spa,so people come in with injuries
.
I took a lot of differentclasses medical massage and
cupping and things like thatstretching classes and then I
(01:37):
took the technique that I do,which is called rapid
neurofascial reset.
I learned it in Canada andthey've come down here.
I've learned from them andpeople started getting better
and basically just getting thenervous system to turn off pain
receptors and it really works.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
I like that and when I was looking at your website,
you know about imbalance bodywork.
You specialize in practice inproviding chronic pain relief
for chronic pain and improvingthe overall mobility.
Can you expand on that a littlebit?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yes.
So there's a lot of things thatI treat that I can't
necessarily fix.
I've had clients with MSfibromyalgia.
They have autoimmune conditions, really just chronic issues,
and I may not be able to curethose things, but I can treat
their symptoms.
And I have a handful of peoplethat I do see that I tell them I
can't cure this, but I cantreat your symptoms, I can make
your life better.
(02:30):
People are dealing with painissues from all different.
You never know what's going tocome into your office.
I have people from alldifferent ages, different
backgrounds.
If I have a holy book day, it'sgoing to be different.
Um, I'll have an eight-year-old, I'll have a nine-year-old,
I'll have people that playsports.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
So just helping them, just live better interesting
and I know you know livingbetter and going through that
chronic pain is so important andin what you do to try to help,
that is awesome in itself.
So what is rapid neurofascial?
Help me with that.
Neurofacial or fascial.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Yeah, neurofascial reset.
Neurofacial reset is a veryconfusing bit of neuroscience.
So basically, the highestconcentration of pain receptors
are actually on the outer layerof bone.
So that's why, like massage,it's not as effective when
someone goes to a spa and theywant when they say deep tissue,
they mean like they want you toget to their bone, so like I'm
(03:32):
actually stimulating aninflammation response to get it
to turn off pain receptors.
And it works.
I do everything over clothes.
There's no lotion, it's a bituncomfortable of a treatment,
but the relief is always betterafterwards.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
So what can it actually help with?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Frozen shoulder, sciatica, plantar fasciitis,
migraines, knee pain.
There's a smaller list ofthings I can't treat.
I can go like I don't treatgout.
That's uric acid crystals inthe joints.
I send that to acupuncture.
Buprenorphine is a contracture.
It's not a painful condition,it's just the tissue in the hand
gets really restricted.
Um yeah, I can treat almostanything.
(04:13):
If it hurts, I can help.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
So you mentioned plantar fasciitis.
Can you explain to ourlisteners what that's all about,
in case maybe someone's havingto deal with that?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, absolutely so.
It's just inflammation on theplantar atherosclerosis of the
foot.
But really the main issue isalong the superficial back lines
of the calf and hamstring area.
Most people who have really badcases of plantar fasciitis they
have a really restricted calf.
That's why they go to a surgeon.
They get surgery and it doesn'talways work.
It's because their issue ishigher up in the leg, that whole
(04:48):
line.
So I treat the whole thing.
I get people better.
I never see them again for it.
I have a 95% success rate withit.
It's something I specialize in.
So if you know someoneconsidering surgery for plantar
fasciitis, have them, give me acall.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Perfect.
So what are the symptoms?
If someone is having theseissues, what can they look for?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
A lot of pain on the bottom of their foot, the worst
in the morning.
When you wake up in the morningand you put your feet on a hard
floor it's awful.
It gets a little betterthroughout the day, but it's
just really bad pain on thebottom of the foot and it's so
bad where, if you just touchtheir foot there, I have to peel
my clients off the ceiling.
I know they.
I know they have it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Oh, my goodness, and I and I know you're dealing with
a lot of clients or patients,however you want to, you know
structure that.
So what is?
Is there a story, something youcan share?
You don't have to mention, ofcourse, don't mention who it is,
but just kind of a story thatreally kind of really lets our
(05:48):
listeners know that this issomething that you helped with.
That kind of resonates with you.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A plantar fasciitis story, or just any client.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Any client, anything that you want to share.
That stands out.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I've had quite a few.
I mean I've had people itaffects their life.
I mean I've had people drivefour hours to come see me.
I've had plantar fasciitiscases that were so bad that they
couldn't even they had to crawltheir hands and knees in the
morning and go to the bathroombecause they couldn't put any
weight on their foot.
I've had people admit to methat they were contemplating
(06:25):
ending their life because theirpain was so bad.
So they I helped them, you know, with that.
So it's just it feels good tosave someone's life.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, that's definitely a very positive thing
that you're doing.
So you know this.
There are people who arelistening to this that want to
know maybe there are somedifferent trends technology wise
.
That's kind of being boughtinto your industry, anything
that stands out that you'reseeing.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You mean like techniques?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Techniques, trends, technology anything is making it
easier for you.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Yeah, I mean there's.
For me, everything is justgoing down to having a therapist
that knows what they're doingand can touch the right areas.
Everybody's hopping on the icetrend, or there's the shockwave
therapy.
There's a cryotherapy trend.
A couple of years back, cuppingwas really popular when Michael
(07:27):
Phelps was swimming with cupmarks and people were like, oh
my gosh, what is that cupping?
It's just people are lookingfor the next thing and they want
a quick fix.
A lot of people just wantsomething fast.
That's why surgeries and pillsare so popular.
They just want something quickand fast.
But I'm really looking forthose people that are looking to
(07:48):
invest into their health andare willing to make the
necessary lifestyle changes tomake their life better.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
I like that that are willing to make the necessary
lifestyle changes to make theirlife better.
I like that, that are willingto make the necessary lifestyle
changes to make their lifebetter, and there's never
something that is quick whenyou're dealing with that, so I
think you said it best.
So there are listeners alsothat are wanting to be aspiring
entrepreneurs, derek.
(08:13):
They're wanting to.
Maybe they are business ownersand they're kind of struggling,
or maybe there's someone thatwants to be maybe in your
industry or a business owner.
What say you in terms of givingsome advice?
Speaker 2 (08:29):
I've had.
I actually had a therapist.
She's a client of mine,actually, and she's going to
massage school and she wants tolearn what I do.
And I always tell people thatyou get paid in proportion to
the difficulty or problems yousolve.
Experts, problem solver find aproblem that you're very good at
solving and then learn how torun a business and to market
(08:50):
that solution.
I'm a problem solver.
I've had people drive fourhours to come see me because
they're not getting the resultsthat massage envy where they
live, because they're nottrained to do that.
Um, they went to this person,that person, and had whatever
technique and it didn't helpthem.
But would you get those peoplethat are willing to, you know,
(09:10):
invest into themselves and dothe work?
So, basically, yes, I wouldtell them just to become an
expert problem solver and youwill always have a job.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I love that, and it seems like if people are coming
for hours to see you to help fixtheir needs, that means that
there's some type ofrelationship that you've built
with your patients or with yourcustomer to get them to come
back, because you're addressingthose underlying causes.
I'm assuming that really andyou're talking them through you
(09:42):
know how to take care ofthemselves, so forth and so on.
So you know kudos to you forfor doing that, so forth and so
on.
So you know kudos to you fordoing that.
That's awesome.
So one other thing I want tomention as we wrap up here could
you provide our listeners witha phone number as well as a
website to get a hold of you?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Sure Phone number is 407-801-8502.
And then the website isinbalance e-inbalancecom.
Quite simple.
I'm also on Facebook andInstagram.
People feel free to reach outto me.
I'm happy to answer anyquestions and point them in the
right direction.
