Dr. Daraven Perez, DPT, CSCS
Performance Physical Therapist / Sports Resident
Dr. Daraven Perez is a Performance Physical Therapist and Sports Resident who loves treating the shoulder, back, and knee. Whether you’re an athlete returning to sport or someone getting back to what you can’t just yet, he’s set on helping you move better and stronger.
Daraven played football and swam competitively growing up. Knowing he wanted to make a difference and do something that keeps players in the game, he studied human movement and sports medicine at a Christian University in South Carolina. Daraven finished BJU with his B.S. in Kinesiology and Counseling. Afterwards, he went on to get his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Pittsburgh. Before finishing at Pitt, he did a clinical rotation with Dr. Corrie Jones (USA Paralympics) and Dr. Seth Hawks (NCAA Division 1) at Rehab 2 Perform.
Rehab is more than just getting someone back to where they were. It’s about raising ceilings and driving progress forward. Ceilings are only as high as the limits people put on themselves. As a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Daraven knows a thing or two about building strength, breaking down movement, and taking performance to the next level.
Dr. Daraven Perez doesn’t just help people get the most out of rehab. He builds their capacity to do what they love.
Why did he go into physical therapy? To make the impossible possible so others push past their limits.
