About

Throughout his professional, volunteer and academic career, Physical Therapist Darian Haynes, DPT, has worked with patients from all walks of life and diagnosis. Through these experiences, he’s developed effective communication, evaluative, rehabilitative, and preventative skills that have proven to be invaluable to athletes and weekend warriors of all ages and abilities.

Prior to starting his career as a physical therapist, Darian spent extensive time as a ATC (Certified Athletic Trainer) for Midland University and Plattsmouth High School, both located in Nebraska. He followed this by earning his doctorate degree in physical therapy from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2021. Since graduating, Darian has continued his education and taken advanced courses in management of musculoskeletal injuries and completed his level 1 trigger point dry needling course through Optimal Dry Needling Solutions.

Mr. Haynes came to Alaska in 2021 and today with OPA is a caring, compassionate, and evidence based physical therapist who empowers patients to actively take control of their rehabilitation journey.

When not helping patients, he enjoys hiking, biking, snowboarding, and exploring different parts of Alaska with his wife and Great Dane (Odin).
