Dr. Donald Berry DC SFMA is both a Chiropractor and an Extreme Athlete where he incorporates both knowledge of the anatomy; Neuromuscular Skeletal and also the performance as an athlete. Dr. Berry's hands on approach and methodology as a Chiropractor has enabled Doctor Berry to become a superior Movement Restoration and Corrective Exercise Specialist.

 

As a Movement Restoration and Corrective Exercise Specialist my goal is to bring healing and optimal body movement to help prevent future injury. Therefore, my technique crosses the lines between rehabilitation, conditioning and fitness. I study, follow, and am certified in the Gray Cook Functional Movement Systems which is a vital role of what I practice as a Movement Restoration and Corrective Exercise Specialist. The Gray Cook method provides a clear model and a common language under which fitness and rehabilitation professionals can work together. Gary Cook uses systematic logic and revisiting the natural developmental principals all infants employ as they learn to walk, run and climb, Gray forces a new look at motor learning, corrective exercise and modern conditioning practices, this is the model I use in my practice.

Dr. Donald Berry follows the philosophy of  Dr. Karel Lewit from Prague of the ISCRS in his practice, "Lessons for the Future", stated by Dr. Lewit in his final thoughts:

 

“I am always aware of how many things which I taught in my long past have since been proved wrong. The most important attitude is, therefore, to be constantly aware that what you are doing and teaching now you will have to modify and correct in view of new facts. Thus you must keep an open mind for new knowledge, even if it sometimes shows that what you believed and taught before was wrong.”
