DPT Physical Therapy & Performance Helping rural Texas get back to life through individualized, evidence-based physical therapy.

Proudly serving Stephenville, Glen Rose, Comanche, Mineral Wells, and Lubbock with compassionate care focused on helping you move better and live well. Trey Taylor is Vice President and a founding partner of DPT Physical Therapy & Performance. Born and raised in Stephenville, graduated from Stephenville High School in 2008. He stayed local to attend Tarleton State University where he received a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology in 2012. Has attended the University of North Texas Health Science Center where he earned a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2015. Over the course of his physical therapy education, Trey trained under board certified orthopedic clinical specialists Drs. Darin Deaton and Tina Neuwirth, as well as board certified neurologic clinical specialist Dr. Linda Csiza. During that time, he gained valuable experience in general outpatient orthopedics, pain management, post-surgical rehab, as well as neurologic/stroke, and vestibular rehabilitation. Trey is certified in dry needling through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy Dry Needling Institute and is currently pursuing a specialty in clinical orthopedics. Trey chose physical therapy because of his passion for working with and helping people. Everyone has a story to tell and through which there is much to learn. He most values the patient-therapist relationship, and prides himself in providing high quality, compassionate care. Physical therapy and rehabilitation are not centered around the physical impairment, but rather the person, their experiences and livelihood. The art of physical therapy is truly getting to know each person and their individual circumstances in order to create a personalized treatment plan to help them achieve their specific goals. Trey commits to not only listening, but truly hearing your story and working alongside you to obtain your highest functional capabilities. Trey’s professional interests include sports rehab, orthopedic manual therapy, dry needling, pain management, vestibular and balance therapy including vertigo treatments, as well as strength and conditioning. He is blessed to share life with his wife, Shelby Taylor, and their three kids Dru, Peyton and Jase.

Two months into his career at DPT Physical Therapy, Dr. Christian Sanchez is discovering just how much of physical therapy happens beyond the treatment table. 💙

During a recent evaluation, Christian noticed a patient becoming emotional. Instead of continuing to type notes into his laptop, he stopped, gave her his full attention, and simply listened.

That moment stuck with him. It was a reminder that behind every diagnosis is a person with their own concerns, challenges, and goals. And for Christian, making sure patients feel heard is just as important as helping them move forward. 🫶

As a recent graduate, Christian came to DPT Physical Therapy looking for mentorship and an opportunity to develop his clinical skills. What he found was a welcoming team that quickly made him feel like part of the family.

And those first two months have already given him plenty of opportunities to grow!

When fellow therapist Dr. Taylor McCulloch took a well-deserved vacation, Christian stepped up to help keep the clinic running. The experience gave him a new level of confidence in his abilities and showed him just how far he'd come in a short time. 💪

That same sense of progress is what Christian loves seeing in his patients.

One patient who had been struggling with vertigo was thrilled when her symptoms resolved after just a couple of sessions. Being able to return to work and better understand how to manage her symptoms was a victory worth celebrating.

For Christian, it's those moments of excitement, whether big or small, that make being a physical therapist so rewarding. He encourages his patients to listen to their bodies, give themselves grace on the difficult days, and remember how far they've already come. 😊

There's a lot ahead for Dr. Christian Sanchez, and his first two months have already shown the compassion, dedication, and eagerness to grow that he brings to our team.

This Physical Therapy Month, we're excited to celebrate one of the newest members of the DPT Physical Therapy family. We're glad you're here, Christian, and we can't wait to see what's ahead! 💙

You asked for more, and who are we to deny you this kind of entertainment? 😂 The anatomy challenge is BACK, and this time, it’s all about BONES! 🦴💀

The PTs studied anatomy for years. The Front Office Coordinators showed up to work today. 💪🏼

May the odds be ever in their favor. 😂

For some, Stephenville is a place to put down roots. For Dr. Denise Sullivan, those roots were already here. 💙

Long before she became a physical therapist at DPT Physical Therapy, Denise was a young girl visiting her grandparents in Stephenville, the same town where her father grew up. What started as childhood visits and family memories eventually became a place she would call home.

When Denise and her husband made the move to Stephenville for his career, being closer to family was an added blessing. And in November 2024, she became part of the DPT Physical Therapy team.

Nearly two years later, Denise has found something she values just as much as the work itself: the people she gets to share it with.

Ask Denise what she enjoys about her team, and she'll tell you it's the laughter, the encouragement, and knowing that everyone has each other's backs. It's the kind of workplace where coworkers feel more like family, and kindness isn't something that has to be asked for. 🫶

But there's another part of Denise's day that means just as much to her.

It's the patient who walks into the clinic smiling because they finally went for that walk again. The person who can return to an activity they haven't enjoyed in months. Or someone who accomplishes something they once thought might be out of reach.

Those are the moments Denise looks forward to.

Physical therapy gives her the opportunity to see patients throughout the week, learn their stories, and become part of their journey. And while every patient's goals may look different, the joy of seeing someone regain a piece of their everyday life never gets old. 😊

For Denise, helping patients get back to the things they love starts with a simple philosophy motion is lotion! 🚶‍♀️ Whether it's taking those first steps toward recovery or returning to a favorite activity, she encourages her patients to keep moving, stay consistent, and recognize that even the smallest steps forward can lead to meaningful progress.

From childhood visits with her grandparents to caring for patients in the community today, Stephenville has remained an important part of Denise's story. And now, she's helping write a few happier chapters in the lives of the people around her.

Happy Physical Therapy Month, Dr. Denise Sullivan! We're grateful to have you as part of the DPT Physical Therapy family. 💙

Sometimes, the biggest victories in physical therapy aren't measured in strength, mobility, or even pain levels. Sometimes, they're measured in something much harder to rebuild: trust. 💙

For Dr. Cody Caraway, one of the most meaningful moments of his career at DPT Physical Therapy came when a patient-athlete told him he had restored their faith in physical therapy after a difficult experience elsewhere. It's moments like those that remind Cody why he chose this profession in the first place. 🫶

For the past eight months, Cody has been part of our Glen Rose team, bringing with him a passion for helping patients navigate some of their most challenging moments and work toward goals that once felt out of reach.

His approach to patient care is rooted in understanding that progress looks different for everyone. One reminder he frequently shares with patients is that while "no pain, no gain" might work in high school athletics or military boot camp, it doesn't always apply to physical therapy. For Cody, effective treatment isn't about pushing through pain at every opportunity. It's about knowing when to challenge patients, when to adjust, and how to help each individual make meaningful progress. 💪

Beyond his work with patients, Cody has made it a priority to build strong relationships with local physicians, athletic trainers, and other healthcare professionals. Those connections reflect his commitment to the people and communities he serves. 🤝

When asked what originally drew him to DPT Physical Therapy, Cody pointed to the great culture and strong leadership. Eight months later, it's the closeness of his team and the encouragement to bring new ideas to the table that continue to stand out.

And speaking of new ideas, Cody has a few exciting things in the works. We can't share all the details just yet, but we're looking forward to what's ahead! 👀

This Physical Therapy Month, we're celebrating Dr. Cody Caraway for the relationships he's building, the confidence he's helping patients regain, and the dedication he brings to DPT Physical Therapy Glen Rose every day.

We're glad you're part of the DPT Physical Therapy family, Cody! 💙

More than 35 years in physical therapy, and the purpose behind the work still matters. 💙

For Dr. Darin, a career in physical therapy has meant years of learning, leading, mentoring, and continuing to grow within the profession.

As CEO of DPT Physical Therapy & Performance and an APTA Orthopedic Certified Specialist, Dr. Darin’s professional interests span management, orthopedics, sports, western sports athletes, manual therapy, and barbell fitness. 🏋️ Those interests have helped shape not only the way he approaches patient care, but also the clinician and leader he has become throughout his career.

But at the heart of it all, he’s still a physical therapist. He understands the responsibility that comes with helping people get back to the things that matter to them, and after more than three decades, that commitment remains at the center of his work. 💪

Outside the clinic, you’re likely to find Dr. Darin cattle ranching, spending time with his horses, hunting, or flying.

This Physical Therapy Month, we’re proud to celebrate Dr. Darin and the experience, leadership, and passion for the profession he continues to bring to DPT Physical Therapy.

October is Physical Therapy Month, and we’re celebrating the people who make DPT Physical Therapy what it is. 💙

Across each of our clinics, our physical therapists bring so much more than their clinical knowledge to work every day. They listen. They problem-solve. They encourage. They challenge. And they put in the work to help each patient keep moving toward the things that matter most to them. 💪

Behind every treatment plan, progression, conversation, and win is a therapist who genuinely cares about the person in front of them.

We’re incredibly proud of the PTs who represent DPT Physical Therapy and the care they provide in each of the communities we serve. This month, we’re celebrating you and everything you pour into your patients, your teams, and your clinics. 🫶

Happy Physical Therapy Month to our DPT Physical Therapy team!
