Jill Zimmerman, DPT utilizes a movement based approach she unravels the layers of poor posture, dysfunctional breathing patterns, stress, and body mechanics to discover the underlying cause of aches and pains. The birth of her child sparked a special interest in pelvic floor function and diastasis recti and has been incredibly influential in her everyday work.

She is also available to consult with trainers, therapists, yoga instructors or other wellness professionals who want to learn more about my methodology or need advice in helping a client or patient of their own.
