Our Current Team

Dr. Moni Syeda
DAT, MSAT, ATC, CSCS, CES

Hello, I am a transplant who moved to California from Florida. I have spent over 17 years in corporate America in various leadership roles before I founded Corrective Exercise and Restoration business. My training involved an engineering undergraduate background with an executive MBA (Summa Cum Laude). I have always been an entrepreneur at heart, spending many years developing products that address customers' specific needs, leading cross-functional teams to maintain various dynamic evolving programs, and introducing newer products and innovations through collaborative efforts of various businesses. I ran cross-country in high school and college and can relate to sports injuries that can suspend activities due to pain. After an insidious back injury and a successful recovery, I decided to go back to school to pursue further education in Athletic Training (Sports Medicine). As Mark Twain stated, “All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.” I feel for me the learning journey to get better is endless. I look forward to meeting you and also helping you get back to activities that you enjoy the most in life!
