Dr. Edie Perry
Dr. Edie Perry is an internationally respected educator, chiropractor, practitioner, and co-developer of the Perry Method® – Patterns of Physical Transformation (PPT), an innovative approach to movement assessment, nervous system organization, and functional transformation.
With an unusual academic foundation that began with double majors in mathematics and accounting, Dr. Perry developed a lifelong ability to recognize patterns, think systematically, and solve complex problems. She began her professional career as a computer programmer before personal health challenges—and the limitations she encountered within conventional medicine—led her to pursue a deeper understanding of human function, healing, and performance. As she began her chiropractic education, she also started working in a research laboratory, where her analytical mindset and passion for understanding human physiology, movement, and lasting functional change continued to develop alongside her clinical training.
Her search for answers inspired a multidisciplinary journey spanning chiropractic, acupressure, functional neurology, the Feldenkrais Method, cranial and osteopathic techniques, biofeedback, sensory-based therapies, movement education, Tai Chi, Qigong, meditation, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Bandler Technologies, and other body-mind approaches. Throughout her career, Dr. Perry has remained driven by one central question: How can we create safe, effective, and lasting change by working with the body’s own intelligence?
While studying chiropractic and the Feldenkrais Method, Dr. Perry met her late husband, Dr. Ron Perry. Their shared passion for understanding human movement and neurological function became the foundation of a lifelong collaboration. Together, they spent more than three decades researching, refining, and developing what would become the Perry Method® – Patterns of Physical Transformation.
The Perry Method integrates principles from movement science, sensory integration, functional neurology, biomechanics, clinical observation, and whole-body organization. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, it helps practitioners recognize underlying compensation patterns, improve movement efficiency, and support the nervous system’s natural capacity for adaptation and functional change.
Known for her exceptional ability to translate complex neurological and biomechanical concepts into practical clinical applications, Dr. Perry combines scientific thinking with decades of hands-on experience. Her teaching style encourages curiosity, critical thinking, careful observation, adaptability, and lifelong learning. Rather than teaching rigid protocols, she empowers practitioners to understand why the body responds as it does and to adapt their approach to the unique needs of each individual.
Today, Dr. Perry continues to teach the Perry Method internationally while maintaining an active clinical practice in Florida. Because she remains dedicated to working directly with clients, she intentionally offers only a limited number of training programs each year. This enables her to continue refining and applying the Perry Method in clinical practice while sharing her knowledge with therapists, coaches, trainers, athletes, health professionals, and movement practitioners from around the world.
Based in Florida, Dr. Perry continues to preserve and expand the legacy she and Dr. Ron Perry created together. Through her select international teaching engagements and ongoing clinical work, she inspires professionals to deepen their understanding of movement, the nervous system, and the remarkable adaptability of the human body—helping them develop greater clinical confidence, improve functional outcomes, and unlock new possibilities for lasting transformation.

1970’s, he was formally taught meditation technique, energy work
and self hypnosis
Having graduated with a Masters Degree in Psychology with a specialization in body-mind therapies, and a licensed Chiropractic physician, Ron spent his life studying, modeling, decoding, encoding and exploring various healing systems which claimed to produce consistent results.
Ron
was a Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner having studied
personally with Moshe Feldenkrais who became a big influence on Ron’s
work, and it was on his advice that Ron studied with Dr. Richard
Bandler, founder of Neuro Linguistic Programming, interpreting and
further developing the technique into a kinesthetic model. His
association and research with Dr. Bandler of over a decade led to his
becoming certified by Dr. Bandler as a master trainer of Neuro
linguistic programming and other hypnotic Bandler technologies.
Ron was a natural teacher, he loved to share his life’s work with anyone that was interested in learning it. He started to develop the Perry Method with his wife in the 80’s.
