History

Established in 2013.

Dr. Burk began his career when he moved to Chicago, where he has been a personal trainer for the past six years. During this time he has worked with a variety of demographics and conditions. He realized early on that there were a lot of people that he wasn’t able to help simply with his personal training skills.

His will to learn and urge to help more people led him to attending National University of Health Sciences, where he earned a Doctorate in Chiropractic Medicine in 2012.

Recently, he earned a certification in Foundation Training and has become the only Foundation Training Certified Instructor in Chicago.

All of the pieces in his career have come together — his passion and training to create this company, Optimal Performance and Health. He can now more effectively help people move correctly, alleviate pain, prevent injury, achieve optimal performance, and allow people to feel more confident and in control of their own body.
