Patrick R. Mummy is the founder and CEO of Symmetry For Health, and the author of the books, “Symmetry, Relieve Pain and Optimize Physical Motion”, “Symmetry, the Physics of Pain and Becoming Pain-Free”, and “Symmetry, the Physics of Pain and Becoming Pain-Free, Second Edition”.  Patrick’s degree in Athletic Training, with an emphasis in Applied Kinesiology and Biomechanics, combined with his exposure as a Division One athlete for the San Diego State Men’s baseball program, led to his discovery of the deficits of traditional and alternative therapies in curing physical pain. His unparalleled success in achieving excellence academically and athletically during his college career, culminated in his election as San Diego State’s Scholar Athlete of the Year, and Most Valuable Player in 1993. After graduating from San Diego State University in 1994, Patrick was hired to work for the Egoscue Method in San Diego, CA.  This provided him with another key to understanding the causation of pain, which is the importance of postural compensation as it relates to gravity. In 1997 Patrick founded Symmetry, which further educated him about the importance of postural therapy. Soon after he realized that the missing link of most rehabilitation therapies was the lack of an objective, measurable way of analyzing, sequencing and implementing therapeutic exercises to effectively and efficiently free clients of chronic pain and to enhance physical performance of athletes. This system is formally known as Postural Alignment Technology™ using their unique software called AlignSmart™. 

Patrick has been invited as a guest speaker to numerous conferences over the years including The Society of Wellness and Integrative Specialists (SWIS) conference in Canada, 2004; The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), 2012; The Southern California University of Health Sciences, 2014; The One Concept Conferences in both San Diego and Canada (including the World Massage Conference in 2014 and most recent, 2021 and 2022), 2010-2022; The National Association of Sports Medicine (NASM) Optima Virtual Conference, 2021; and two conferences with the SCW Fit Mania in Orlando and Dallas, 2022.  Currently, Patrick has been selected to be the Keynote Speaker for the remaining SCW Fit Mania Conferences in 2023 and into 2024.

The AlignSmart Technology system is now available world-wide via the online certification program.  Patrick and his system is now an approved provider for the American Council on Exercise (ACE); the Athletics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA); the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCBTMB); the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM); and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM).
