Meet Dr. Sean Drake: The Engineer of Human Performance

Dr. Sean Drake didn’t just stumble into the world of movement and recovery—he was built for it. Growing up as a military kid, with a Special Forces father and a logistics-savvy mother, he moved 13 times before finishing high school. Adapting on the fly became second nature, shaping his ability to see challenges not as obstacles but as opportunities to evolve.

Originally on a path toward politics, life had other plans. Severe injuries, chronic illness, and a series of life-altering accidents forced him to rethink everything. instead of being a lobbyist, he became obsessed with crafting better bodies—stronger, more resilient, more efficient.

Today, Dr. Drake is a movement and recovery specialist trusted by elite athletes to help them push limits and accelerate recovery. His approach blends science, technology, and ancient practices, using everything from PEMF and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to breathwork, Qigong, and Tai Chi. It’s not just about fixing pain—it’s about unlocking human potential.

At Moderne Athlete, his reimagined performance center, healing isn’t just treatment—it’s transformation. He empowers clients to take control of their well-being, integrating mindfulness, lifestyle shifts, and cutting-edge tools into their daily lives. His mission? Not just to heal, but to redefine what’s possible for human performance. Alongside his wife, Kiki Corder-Drake—an expert in Pilates Sports Medicine and a gifted guided PEMF practitioner—the two bring a powerful synergy to their work. Together, they create an experience that’s nothing short of transformational.

Commitment and Transformation

At Moderne Athlete—Dr. Drake emphasizes that healing is a holistic ceremony. He encourages clients to become their own best practitioners by integrating mindfulness, lifestyle changes, and accessible technologies into their daily lives. His mission is to change not only individual lives but also to spark a shift in overall human performance and well-being.

FAQ’s

  • “It’s all of the above. I integrate adjustments, needling, and instrument-assisted soft tissue work. More importantly, I rely on assessments like the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (FMS) to determine whether the issue is with soft tissue, joint mechanics, or motor control. I’ve also integrated fascial manipulation and even organ manipulation in cases of asymmetry. Every session is personalized—I check patients every time to see what’s needed that day, because the body’s condition can change daily.”

  • “My practice has evolved in ways I never expected. Before 2020, I worked with Dr. Greg Rose at the Titleist Performance Institute, co-founding OnBaseU for baseball and Racquetfit for tennis. When COVID hit, my travel-heavy schedule disappeared, giving me time to train online and even skydive in Scottsdale. A call from athletes in Phoenix led me back to practice, and in 2020, I opened my clinic with just one table and a corneal laser. Word spread quickly, expanding our space. Today, my center is a ‘soul center’ focused on optimizing movement, managing stress, and enhancing performance—whether for pro athletes, NFL players, or CEOs striving for peak efficiency."

  • “In my clinic, I use PEMF therapy to influence the nervous system at a cellular level, paired with visualization exercises to support healing. I integrate shockwave therapy, class 4 lasers like the RegenPod, needling, and soft tissue techniques to reinforce new movement patterns. We also use nervous system reset tools like Shiftwave and RoXiva, sound therapy through Solodome, and recovery modalities like hyperbaric oxygen and lymphatic drainage (Flowpresso, EQ Pulse). My approach is holistic—addressing physical limitations, motor control, and emotional blocks to optimize overall function.”

  • “I see many people stuck on a diagnosis—shoulder, back, or neck pain—without considering the whole body. With OnBaseU, I assess athletes from the ground up, evaluating their nervous system, HRV, SpO₂, and mental state. Often, the issue isn’t just one joint but overall inefficiency. By restoring full-body function first, we can then address specific concerns, like rebuilding a pitcher’s velocity after injury."

  • “The nervous system is like the body's motherboard, controlling everything from emotions to performance. When an athlete comes in, I assess their overall state—too ramped up, and treatment can add stress; too low, and they may not respond. My job is to balance their physical, mental, and emotional state, creating the right conditions for healing and peak performance."
