Meet Dr. Sean Drake: The Engineer of Human Performance

Dr. Sean Drake was built for movement. As a military kid raised by a Special Forces father and a logistics-savvy mother, he moved 13 times before graduating high school. Adaptation became his superpower, shaping his lifelong ability to meet challenge with curiosity, not fear.

He didn’t set out to become a doctor. Originally on track for a career in politics, life had other plans. A series of serious injuries and chronic health issues forced him to pause - and ultimately pivot. He was determined how we create bodies that are not just healed, but stronger, more resilient, and more efficient than ever before.

Over the past two decades, Dr. Drake has helped professional athletes, Olympians, CEOs, and everyday high-performers reconnect with their bodies and unlock their true potential. His work spans Major League Baseball, extreme sports, and elite performance spaces—where the margins are razor-thin and the stakes are sky-high.

As a Doctor in Chiropractic, a Master’s in Sport Injury Management and Human Performance, and advanced training in neurology-based healing, Dr. Drake brings together science, ancient wisdom, and modern technology in a powerful, integrative approach.

When you work with Dr. Sean Drake, you’ll learn healing isn’t just about pain relief - it’s about transformation. Together with his wife and partner Kiki Cordero-Drake, a Pilates Sports Medicine expert and master PEMF practitioner - they create personalized experiences that restore motion, renew energy, and rewrite what’s possible for the body and mind.

Dr. Drake’s mission is simple: Help people not just perform, but feel—and find—themselves again.

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."
