Dr. Derek Hagen,
PT, DPT, TPI, C-PS, CEAS

Witnessing how traditional physical therapy clinics, often constrained by insurance protocols, demanded more of patients' time and money through increased visits, he was inspired to make a difference.

​

Derek boasts over 15 years of expertise as a licensed Physical Therapist specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Marshall University and his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Wheeling University. His practice focuses extensively on manual therapies such as joint mobilization/manipulation, soft tissue massage, and muscle energy techniques in addition to educating how individuals can move better, feel better, and perform better!

​

He is a Level 1 certified professional through the Titleist Performance Institute, a Champion Performance Specialist, and a Certified Ergonomic Assessment Specialist. 

 

Movement optimization and joint by joint kinetics are stressed in his treatment approach. Injury prevention and wellness are a cornerstone of his treatment. Derek also has unique experience with acute injury management, ergonomic assessments, and as an educator.

 

Derek is an adjunct faculty member at Nazareth University as a clinical instructor for the on-campus orthopedic clinic and sits on the PT Business Panel giving eager students clinical and business advice in the Doctor of Physical Therapy program. 

 

Derek has more than 6 years of experience working in the home care setting treating various conditions that make it difficult for patients to leave their home in order to get treatment.

​

Hagen Movement Institute's model strives to:

  • Decrease the number of visits required

  • Improve on the time spent with the clinician
  • Decrease the overall cost for physical therapy through quality, 1-on-1 care that has been proven to optimize outcomes.
