Deven Bawden has been practicing as an orthopedic physical therapist for more than 12 years. He started his college career as a business major, but after exploring different professional options, realized he was fascinated in the way the human body worked:how the intricacies of the human body could produce complex, yet effective and efficient movement patterns to accomplish the manipulation of the surrounding environment. It was at the point, Deven began to search the field of medicine. After shadowing general medical doctors, surgeons and rehabilitative specialists, he decided his greatest passion in the health sciences was restoring a person’s ability to move independently and efficiently in life and to help him or her return to the most optimal abilities. It was then that Deven found his love and passion and knew that  he wanted to become a physical therapist.

Deven received his undergraduate degree in Exercise and Sports Science at the University of Utah in 2004. He was then accepted into the University of Utah’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program where he graduated with his clinical doctorate degree in 2006. Following his graduation, he immediately began to work in an outpatient orthopedic physical therapy clinic in Bountiful where he was able to continue to study and learn extensively regarding the orthopedic care of his patients. He continued to hone his skills on treatment of the low back and hips by furthering his education in the care of the sacroiliac joint and lower extremities. Deven joined his current team at Body Tune Physical Therapy in 2012 where he has continued to improve his manual skills and increase his successful treatment of patients with orthopedic issues ranging from headaches/neck pain, shoulder and elbow dysfunctions, low back and sacroiliac joint limitations as well as treatment of the hips, knees, ankles and feet.

Deven received further training and certification in the evaluation and treatment of the injured worker by becoming a Certified Functional Capacity Evaluator. He is currently in the process of receiving his certifications for Functional Integrative Dry Needling as well as studying to become a Certified Manual Physical Therapist.

Deven loves to teach and serve having had several opportunities to do both within his field of practice. He has served on the executive board of the Utah Chapter of the American Physical Therapy Association.Additionally, he has been invited to lecture both locally as well as nationally ranging from the opioid epidemic to the importance of physical activity for physical and mental/emotional wellness.

The greatest joy in Deven’s life is spending time with his wife and 4 children. When he is not in the clinic, he is with his wife on the sideline of his 3 boys’ and 1 daughter’s sporting events cheering them on. Deven is also an avid runner and biker and has enjoyed participating in many marathons, half marathons and triathlons.

Makina is excited to meet you and help you along your rehab journey! She grew up knowing she would end up in the medical field because of her fascination with how the human body works. She played a variety of sports (basketball and soccer being her favorite), which grew her love for exercise, movement, and how the body functions. During her high school years, she injured her hamstring playing soccer. Having to come back from her hamstring tear helped her discover her passion for rehabilitation and helping others get back to doing their desired activities.

She attended Layton High School and graduated in 2015. While at Layton High, she played basketball and volleyball for the high school, as well as soccer for an independent team. She furthered her education at Utah State University, graduating with her Bachelor’s degree in Human Movement Science and a minor in Psychology. While at Utah State, she helped to develop and conduct a research study measuring the effects an electrical stimulus applied to the vestibular system has on the human body. She then attended the University of Utah, where she graduated with her Doctor of Physical Therapy. While working on her doctorate degree, she had the opportunity to assist in directing activity courses, such as boxing and Pilates, for individuals with neurologic diagnoses to help better these individual’s balance and quality of life. Her education and experiences during school helped her to recognize the importance of a holistic approach to therapy, rather than focusing on just the physical limitations. She has a special interest in working with athletes, as well as patients with balance and vestibular system dysfunction. She plans to further her education and the tools she can use with her patients through additional courses focusing on treating the vestibular system and becoming certified in dry needling.

When she is not working in the clinic, you will find Makina spending time with her husband, family, and friends. She loves being outdoors, playing sports, and enjoying life to the fullest!
