Beau Beard is a health conservationist, educator, storyteller, and adventurer who constantly pushes to determine what it means to go beyond normal limits. He is the co-founder, alongside his wife Sloan Beard, and clinic director of The FARM: Functional Athletic Rehabilitation and Movement. He has been interested in the fields of health and human performance since suffering a femur fracture in middle school resulting in surgery. He was told he would never play sports again, but with proper rehabilitation and a phenomenal chiropractor, he was back to playing multiple sports within a year

This journey has driven him to help as many people as possible, in as many ways as he can. Dr. Beau strives to learn as much as he can every day, which has led to thousands of hours of continuing education over the last decade, in pursuit of true clinical excellence. He also teaches seminars for movement and health practitioners across the world.

Beau is an internationally recognized educator and speaker, specializing in topics from running performance, environmental health, and clinical reasoning. He has consulted and worked with professional athletes, Olympic medalists, multiple branches of the military and special operations units, and many university-level athletics programs. He spoke at TEDx Birmingham 2019 on the topic of Environmental Reflection, where he drew connections between the most daunting issues facing human and environmental health, and how we may go about remedying both by focusing on ourselves.

He is the author of The Age of Movement which is a look at movement throughout the entirety of the biological record, a guide for humans on what optimal movement at any age looks like, and how we can tackle most health issues with a focus on fundamentals.

Beau is one of the founding board members and current advisory board member of Rehab 2 Performance, which is a non-profit designed to bridge the gap between rehab and performance by integrating principles that span different disciplines in the way practitioners learn, practice, and share information to allow for more patient and client-centered interventions.

In his leisure time, Beau enjoys trail running, getting outside, and dabbling in photography. (Check out his work here.)
