Meet Derek Pham | Chiropractor, Health Coach, Performance Specialist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Derek Pham and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Derek, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
There are so many great quotes! However, if I have to choose one, the one that is most relevant to share is “Making Changes, One Adjustment at a Time.” The idea behind the quote is that in order to change or transform, one have to make small, micro adjustments over time. Take one step and then another, even if the journey is one thousand or thousands of steps in. It starts with taking that first step. In addition, as a chiropractor I help patients create long lasting health changes one adjustment or manual adjustment at a time. The significance is that health is a process and it requires one to have to consistently make adjustments to their workout, nutrition plan, sleep habits, mental, and emotional state. The journey consist of making proper decisions to come back even if one was to fall off. It shares the idea of progress over perfection and to always continue to grow.

The journey has been very fruitful and I am very happy I get to do my job to the best of my abilities. I still have much more to learn and to grow, even though I have been doing it for numerous years, some days I feel like I am just getting started. The new kid on the block that wants to improve and help as many people as I can. I get to lay my hands on the hurt, injured, sick, and disease and help them heal, transform, and recover. Liberating them of the hurt and to see them smile. It is a wonderful feeling that fulfills me.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We like to go to different cafes’ and coffee shops. Here it is notorious for the different boutique cafes. Fill with different pastries, dessert, and gourmet coffees. It is great weekend vibes to start any day. In Pasadena, it is very diverse and there all type of cuisines whether it be Asian food, Mediterranean, Spanish influence, or American food. All are very great quality and delicious!

I want to dedicate the success of my work to all the people that were past and current patients. Truly from the bottom of my heart with every person that I work with or able to help, I learn from the experience to make better for the next. To the patients that stuck around years after years which eventually become close acquaintances. Thank you to them for allowing me to help with their journey of healing, recovery, and to improve their overall quality of life with my hands. To the ones where we have fun work outs together doing different movement therapies, and fantastic fitness challenges. To the most important person to me, my wife, my best friend that has been with me through all the moments. Thank you for her unconditional support and for having patience and supporting me in my career. She has been a light for me whom I can lean on and be there when I need her the most. To my family, for their support and love. And last and most importantly thank you to God for all he does for me and allowing me to be blessed every day of my life!
