Dr. Isaac’s Story

Dr. Isaac has always been driven by a passion for performance, movement, and helping others reach their potential. His background as a multi-sport high school athlete and collegiate basketball player at Ripon College in Wisconsin, shaped his interest in the connection between training, recovery, and long-term health.

While completing his degree in Chemistry-Biology on a Pre-Med track, Dr. Isaac developed a strong interest in sports medicine and human performance. This led him to pursue advanced education in chiropractic care along with additional certifications in strength and conditioning to better integrate exercise, movement, and rehabilitation principles into patient care.

Dr. Isaac Masters holds a Doctorate of Chiropractic Medicine from the National University of Health Sciences, where he received advanced training in the evaluation and management of neuromusculoskeletal conditions. He is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) through the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) and has completed numerous courses in physical rehabilitation, injury management, and performance training. His approach blends the principles of chiropractic medicine with evidence-based strength and conditioning to help patients move, perform, and live better.

Throughout his career, Dr. Isaac has worked with hundreds of individuals across a wide spectrum of backgrounds and abilities, including weekend warriors, youth athletes, competitive athletes, sport enthusiasts, and everyday active adults. He has extensive experience helping patients manage acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain, recover from post-operative surgical procedures, and return to high levels of function through targeted rehabilitation and performance-based care.

Throughout his professional development, Dr. Isaac recognized several key truths that shaped his clinical philosophy:

• “Training” and “Rehab” aren’t separate. They are one continuum that should always co-exist. 
• Exercise, when properly prescribed and dosed, is one of the most powerful tools for pain management. 
• Movement asymmetries are common and not necessarily a sign of injury.
• Pain is often multifactorial and not always tied to structural findings.
• The language used by healthcare providers can directly influence patient outcomes.

These insights led Dr. Isaac to create Resilient, a clinic built on principles of movement, strength, and patient empowerment that challenges the traditional, passive model of healthcare.

Why Resilient

Resilient was founded on the belief that people deserve care that helps them move confidently, build strength, and take control of their own health. The clinic emphasizes combining training and rehabilitation, active recovery, and long-term self-efficacy rather than relying on temporary fixes or unnecessary interventions.

Nearly half of U.S. adults do not meet recommended physical activity guidelines (150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity and at least two days of strength training per week). Many avoid exercise due to pain, fear, or a lack of guidance, often reinforced by outdated medical advice. Resilient aims to change that narrative by providing an environment where movement is medicine and strength is the foundation of recovery.

As both a Clinician and Strength and Conditioning coach, Dr. Isaac’s goal is simple: to help people overcome pain, return to the activities they love, and perform at their highest potential.
