A 1990 graduate of Andrews University in Berrien Springs, MI, Sherry has practiced in outpatient orthopedic rehabilitation clinics in Southeastern Michigan for over 14 years. In addition to being the founder of MIHP, Inc. and TriPLAYnar Technology, she has instructed Kinesiology and Orthopedic Techniques for the PTA Program at Macomb Community College since 1994. She is an orthopedic certified specialist and a certified strength and conditioning specialist.

In 1998, Sherry founded the Michigan Institute for Human Performance, Inc., (MIHP), and the Think Tank was formed. MIHP provides orthopedic physical therapy, biomechanical assessments, sport-specific conditioning and seminars to athletes of all ages and levels. MIHP moved into its Southeastern headquarters location in November 2002.

Sherry has developed several seminars including The Missing Link, Optimal Golf, Run Pain-Free and BackTalk. She is a national speaker and consultant presenting to groups at General Motors, Delphi, AT&T, Sears Holding Corporation and Northup Grummon with topics including Pain-Free in the Real World and BackTalk. She has served as a consultant to USA Michigan Volleyball and the Detroit Vipers Hockey Organization. She has also provided inspirational presentations to church groups and womens’ retreats in the Midwest based on her topic, The Why Behind the Walk and has been featured on the PBS shows Get Up and Get Out and Zonya’s Health Bites. She is also editor of Synergy, a bi-monthly newsletter of the MIHP Think Tank, which is currently circulated to healthcare and fitness professionals nationwide.

Sherry is known by her students, peers and seminar participants as a thought leader in biomechanics through her insightful methods in orthopedic rehabilitation, injury prevention and sports-specific conditioning. She is prolific in her ideas of innovative techniques and has captured them in workbooks, videos and articles that she produces to support her practice and teachings.

Her passion for the field is evident in the energy and inspiration she brings with each presentation. Sherry’s philosophy can be summed up in one of her favorite quotes from philosopher Alfred Adler: “Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not words. Trust movement.”
