Dr. Gerry Ramogida

Dr. Gerry Ramogida has spent many years working at the highest levels of sport. Whether with the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL, or some of the fastest athletes in the world in track and field, NHL players, or consulting with players and teams in the English Premiere League, he has combined a knowledge of movement, rehabilitation, and manual therapies to bring athletes back from injury, as well as working together with coaches and athletes to maximize performance. In a number of cases athletes have returned from injury with better performance measures in power and speed than prior to injury. On the performance side, Dr. Ramogida has been part of Olympic, World Championship, Pan American, Commonwealth gold medal efforts on the track, in addition to championship teams in many sports.

Dr. Gerry Ramogida is currently a consultant with many Olympic and professional athletes (MLB, NHL, NFL, EPL). He has been the Seattle Seahawks team Chiropractor and performance therapist since 2002. He has worked as a member of the Canadian medical staff at the World Track and Field Championships in Edmonton (2001), Paris (2003), Helsinki (2005), and Osaka (2007), as well as the Olympic Summer Games in Athens (2004), and Beijing (2008). In the January of 2010, Dr. Ramogida was hired by United Kingdom Athletics to bring his methods of “Trackside/Performance Therapy” (the integration of manual therapies into athlete training sessions for the purposes of improving performance and reducing injury frequency) to the UK to help in the nations efforts to meet high expectations at the 2012 London Summer Olympic Games (see list below of team appointments).

Dr. Ramogida’s interest in combining movement evaluation with manual therapy (in a system of observe/evaluate, provide treatment, and re-observe) stem’s back to the start of his career where he worked with a number of world class sprint and power/speed coaches.

One of Gerry's greatest influences was Coach Dan Pfaff. Coach to a multitude of medalists and world record holders, it was Dan who demonstrated how the coach, athlete, and therapist could work together as a “trinity”, unified by a common understanding of the optimal mechanical model required in a given track discipline (sprints, throws, jumps, etc.) or sport (speed development, agility, etc.). Each part of the triad providing input daily, working toward the goal of mastery of the required skills to achieve excellence. With this foundation, Dr. Ramogida has travelled and worked world wide in numerous sports.
