Dr. Matthew I. Cooper
drcopper@flchiropractic.com |
Dr. Matthew Cooper is from
New York. He received his Doctorate of Chiropractic from
Life Chiropractic University in Atlanta, Georgia. His
desire to treat a wide range of conditions lead him to
take numerous elective seminars to learn the newest evidence
based techniques. Post-graduate, he became a Certified
Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP), certified in Active
Release Technique® (www.activerelease.com),
Graston Technique® (www.grastontechnique.com),
USA Olympic Weightlifting Sport Specific Coach, and a
Licensed Enzyme Therapist from the Loomis Institute.
Prior to starting Florida Chiropractic
and Sports Rehab Centers, he was a partner at Manhattan
Sports Medicine in New York City where he tended to top
government officials, Wall Street’s most recognizable
CEOs, professional athletes, award-wining actors and musicians
and entertainment moguls. Not only did he treat patients
at the Park Avenue office, during the summer months he
started a clinic in the Hamptons to cater to their high-end
clientele. He relocated to South Florida in 2004, starting
Florida Chiropractic and Sports Rehab Centers. |
His passion for sports led him to become a Certified
Chiropractic Sport Physician and get involved with athletes,
fitness and exercise. After treating far too many patients that
were injured while exercising at the gym, Dr. Cooper started
lecturing with orthopedic surgeons to personal trainers, physical
therapists and other exercise professionals from around the
country. This led to prominent positions as Vice President of
the Sports Medicine Academy for Rehabilitation and Training,
served on the Medical Advisory Board at leading NYC health clubs
including Equinox Fitness Clubs, New York Health and Racquet
Clubs and Evolution Studios. Currently he is the Medical Director
of Soma Fitness at The Standard Hotel and holds a weekly class
at The William’s Island Spa. He is a frequent lecturer
on proper personal training methods and how to avoid injuries
at the gym.
Dr. Cooper's own personal ailments lead him
to Enzyme Therapy. After suffering his whole life with acid
reflux and irritable bowel syndrome, Dr. Cooper started taking
enzymes from the Loomis Institute and his stomach problems were
cured in two weeks. After researching the Loomis Institute’s
Enzyme Therapy and consulting with Dr. Picone, Dr. Cooper thought
it would be an extremely valuable service to help treat his
patients. Because of the reputation of Manhattan Sports Medicine,
he would see many patients that would tell him, “I have
been everywhere, saw chiropractors, physical therapists, massage
therapists, take medication, had injections, exercise, but do
not need surgery. Nothing really helps with my pain for more
than a day or two at a time. Please help me.” After learning
about enzyme therapy he determined not all pain was physical.
There are chemical imbalances that cause pain. Enzyme Therapy
changes ones chemical makeup and helps get rid of pain and inflammation
that sometimes his hands alone could not cure.
Dr. Cooper has been featured on ABC News, ABC
Morning News, Ocean Drive Magazine, Hamptons Magazine, The Sun
Post, and he writes a monthly column for The Aventura News.
Dr. Cooper is involved with different charities
and in the Aventura community. He is a member of the Aventura
Marketing Council where he was invited this year to present
Florida Panthers and Sunrise Sports & Entertainment COO
Michael Yormark. Also seen with Aventura City Commisioner Zev
Auerbach. He is a member of the Aventura chapter of BNI.
Due to his generous contributions and efforts, he was awarded
by The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation as Beauty and The Best for
outstanding contributions to the community. He has been invited
to be the doctor for events held by The Crockett Foundation,
Athletes for Causes, Jason Taylor Foundation, Terry Kirby's
Foundation and Jay Fiedler's Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He
also raised money during the American Cancer Society's annual
Jail and Bail Event.
