A physiotherapist with 37 years experience, Gunnel Berry is based at the outpatient department at NHS Chase Hospital, Bordon, Hampshire, UK and in private practice in Preston Candover, Hampshire. Whilst working at Swindon Hospital (1999-2001), close to the M4 motorway, she established her expertise in treating people with trauma, particularly those with whiplash injury.

Gunnel Berry specialises in treating people with spinal pain of variable duration and intensity. In particular, working with those whose symptoms are diverse, highly irritable and for whom other physiotherapy modalities have not proved helpful.

Adapted Reflex Therapy (AdRx) combines both medical and reflexology expertise. Developed by Gunnel Berry from basic knowledge of reflexology in combination with anatomical and neurophysiological reasoning in pain patients, AdRx has been in clinical practice for over 13 years. During this period, Gunnel has treated over 22,000 individuals using AdRx and has trained over two hundred medical and reflexology practitioners.

Qualifying in physiotherapy at the Middlesex Hospital, London and Legitimerad Sjukgymnast, Sweden in 1975, Gunnel Berry graduated from the Bayly School of Reflexology in 1989. Going on to complete an MSc in advanced physiotherapy in neuromuscular and skeletal disorders at UCL, London, in 1995, her thesis focused on functional adult scoliosis and low back pain. She subsequently completed a post-graduate certificate in research methodology at the University of Brighton in 2009. Gunnel Berry is currently the research officer for ACPIRT (the Association of Chartered Physiotherapists in Reflex Therapy) and is a member of the Health Professional Council.
