Dr. Tom Teter is a chiropractor, professor, and human performance practitioner with over two decades of experience helping athletes and clinicians move beyond the basics. With a unique background that blends clinical rehab, exercise science, and educational leadership, Tom created the Rehab to Fitness model and the Clinical Human Performance Practitioner (CHPP) certification to help close the gap between rehabilitation and performance.
Tom holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Cleveland Chiropractic College and a B.S. in Exercise Science from Missouri State University. He’s worked with athletes at every level — from high school to professional — combining manual therapy, movement assessment, and progressive loading strategies to help them return to and thrive in their sport. He’s also spent years in academia as an Associate Professor and program director, teaching courses in exercise physiology, kinesiology, strength and conditioning, and human movement.
Too many clinicians stop at pain relief. Too many trainers don’t know how to handle the rehab continuum. Tom’s work addresses this professional divide with a systems-based model that is clinically relevant, scientifically sound, and immediately applicable. Whether he’s working with a patient, training a staff, or speaking at a seminar, the goal is always the same: to help people reach their peak physical potential — on purpose, with process.
