Common Conditions
You will be asked a series of questions regarding your particular complaint. To help narrow down the problem, a visual, physical and movement assessment will be performed along with a hands-on treatment. Therapeutic exercises, postural corrections and other recommendations may be provided to help you improve faster, post-therapy.
All treatments are constantly adjusted to the ever-changing responses inside your body. Since you know how you feel better than anyone, your feedback is an integral part of the process.
What to Expect During a Typical Session
Our internal and external environments are constantly changing. Yet, we adapt. In the process of adapting, however, we may develop compensations that are harmful.
In and of themselves, compensations are not bad. It’s over- or under-compensating that becomes problematic. These negative compensations can lead to dysfunctions in movement, breathing, posture and thinking.
The Hill Method is a proprietary, multi-layered treatment system developed by Derek through decades of hands-on experience, clinical observation, and ongoing study. It combines manual therapy, corrective exercise, targeted stretching, postural refinement, breathwork, and mindfulness. Rather than addressing symptoms in isolation, it works across structural, neurological, and physiological layers—directly engaging the body’s sensory receptors to address negative compensations and restore movement that is natural and authentic to each individual.
