Meet Dr. Sean Hiller: Redefining Recovery and Performance
At GobyMeds, we know achieving your health goals - whether that is weight loss with GLP-1s or revitalization with Sermorelin - requires a holistic approach. Medication provides the biological support, but how you move and recover plays a crucial role in your long-term success.
That is why we are excited to introduce Dr. Sean Hiller to the GobyMeds community.
Sean is joining us as an expert contributor to share his knowledge of movement, injury prevention, and strength and conditioning. As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, an NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, and former collegiate athlete, Sean bridges the critical gap between medical rehabilitation and high-level performance.
A Philosophy of Personalized Capability
Sean is the Founder and CEO of Vulcan Performance & Physical Therapy in Birmingham, Alabama. He established his practice on a fundamental principle that aligns perfectly with GobyMeds: healthcare should be highly individualized.
Sean believes that physical therapy isn't just about treating injuries; it is about enhancing overall human movement and capability. His approach is grounded in strength and conditioning principles and champions research-based, effective treatment methods. He moves beyond the "cookie-cutter" approach to help patients build resilience and strength that lasts.
From the Court to the Clinic
Sean’s expertise is rooted in a lifetime of high-performance athletics. His background gives him a unique understanding of what the body is capable of and what it takes to maintain it:
- Elite Basketball Career: Sean was a 3x First Team All-State player and remains the #8 All-Time Scorer in Alabama high school basketball history. He went on to become a 2011 JUCO Alabama State Champion at Shelton State Community College.
- CrossFit Competitor: Transitioning his competitive drive to fitness, he was a 2021 Sanctional Team Athlete at the Mid-Atlantic CrossFit Challenge.
Academics & Expertise
Sean backs his athletic experience with rigorous academic and clinical credentials. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Human Performance & Exercise Science from the University of Alabama and a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of South Alabama.
His certifications include:
- NSCA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS)
- Smart Tools Blood Flow Restriction Level 2 Certification (A powerful tool for recovery and muscle retention)
- METRIKS Functional Capacity Examination Certified
What to Expect from Sean
Sean will be providing GobyMeds community members with expert insights into the "movement" pillar of health. You can expect content focusing on:
- The Basics of Movement: What movement can and should look like for a generally healthy individual - how much movement to strive for, how to rest and recover, and more.
- Preserving Muscle Mass: Essential strategies for strength training while using GLP-1 medications to avoid sarcopenia (muscle loss).
- Movement for Longevity: How to exercise safely to support joint health and mobility as you age.
