Dr. Derek Thiems graduated from Indiana University in 2014 with a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science (Kinesiology). After spending a year as a personal trainer, Derek went on to physical therapy school at the University of Indianapolis, graduating as a Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2018.

Dr. Thiems has a special interest in postural dysfunction, understanding the built-in asymmetries of the human body and their effects on chronic pain and dysfunction. He enjoys working with all types of patients – from younger athletes to older adults. Derek is passionate about empowering others to become the best version of themselves; he does this by assessing the whole person to understand and address the root cause of their condition.

When he isn’t helping patients and the team at Body One, he likes working out, spending time with family, cooking, reading, and playing games of all kinds. He has two children, Summer and Russell, with his wife Lauren.
