I played a lot of sports growing up, which led to numerous injuries over the years: shoulder surgeries, sprained ankles, and disc bulges. I would go through physical therapy and feel better, but once treatment ended, I’d jump right back into my usual routine—just a five-minute warm-up before trying to push max PRs.

As I entered my 30s, I started to feel the effects more intensely. I knew I needed to truly understand and fix my body so I could keep playing sports and feel stronger for life. I turned to social media for treatment ideas, but the sheer amount of information was overwhelming, and I couldn’t figure out what was right for me. Then, through a high school teammate and friend, I found Dr. Bernier, and I haven’t looked back since!

Dr. B genuinely cares about my progress and is teaching me to understand my entire body—not just the big muscles but, more importantly, the neglected parts like the small muscles, tendons, joints, and ligaments. I’m learning how everything works together so I can keep doing what I love—surfing, and playing golf, tennis, and basketball—with more confidence, coordination, and resilience.

It takes time and dedication on my end, as all important things do. But Dr. B is guiding me every step of the way and is always available to answer my questions and address concerns. The sessions feel tailored to my needs, and I’m already feeling and seeing the difference.

Now, I can’t imagine living my active lifestyle without the knowledge and skills Dr. B is sharing with me. Thanks, Dr. B!

Hi Dr. B!

I train year-round with a marathon racing team while also working a full-time job. Working with Dr. Bernier over the past few years has kept me healthy and made me a better athlete. My sessions with him are highly specific and crucial for my recovery during intense training blocks. Dr. Bernier's extensive knowledge and personalized care make our sessions proactive. He’s incredibly adaptable to my lifestyle and training, diagnosing imbalances and providing corrective exercises to prevent injuries.

Before meeting Dr. Bernier, I struggled in the gym. But over time, he helped me develop an evolving strength and conditioning routine that has completely transformed my body and improved my form. Now, I’m a stronger, more confident runner. In December 2023, I achieved a major life goal, breaking 2:30 at the Valencia Marathon—a feat that wouldn’t have been possible without our work together. Dr. Bernier is an invaluable resource, and I’m lucky to have him as part of my team.
