ABOUT ME

Derrek Draper brings his experience in working with athletes, as well as his training in Structural Integration to facilitate healing and recovery from regular workouts and injuries. Since graduating from UCMT in 2010, he has had the opportunity to work with the US Olympic Speed Skating team, professional athletes from the NFL, competitive runners, snowboarders, olympic lifters, rugby players, soccer players, and the two-time Crossfit team champions from Ute Crossfit (Hack’s Pack 2013 & 14 Crossfit Games champions).

Being able to effectively address soft tissue dysfunction and promote recovery is essential to the competitive athlete and everyday fitness enthusiast alike. Branded as Athletic Recovery Massage, his practice incorporates myofacial release and unwinding techniques, classic sports massage as well as deep tissue & trigger point therapy. His clients often experience immediate relief from pain, tension and stress, as well as improved performance.

From 2012 through 2017, he worked with Bobby Maximus, who at the time was a personal trainer and CEO of Gym Jones in Salt Lake City. With first hand experience in a world class training facility, he has an intrinsic knowledge of the maintenance needs of competitive athletes. This lends to his ability to understand how to better facilitate recovery for his clients and establish self care programming for those interested.
