Truly amazing person. Thank you for your help Dr. Martin, I feel so much better and still in therapy but my mobility, just everything has improved the past few weeks. He’s very knowledgeable, professional, and experienced. 10/10. Also, the therapy room is clean and very calming. Thank you!

I had my 7th knee surgery about a year and a half ago and was not progressing with my recovery how I was hoping. I reached out to Matt with Tropic Athlete and wow am I glad I did! He is extremely knowledgeable and genuinely invested in my recovery. He knew exactly how to tailor my treatment given my history. I’m now doing things that I wasn’t able to do just a few months ago. Even after our sessions I’ve continued to utilize the tools and exercises he tailored to me. Feeling stronger and more confident in my abilities everyday. Highly recommend!

I’m an active person and spend a lot of time in the gym, but over the past few months I’ve been dealing with shoulder and back pain that really slowed down my progress. Working with Matt has been a game changer. He didn’t just focus on quick fixes—he helped me build a foundation that will support me long-term, especially as I get older. He’s been great at addressing my posture, explaining the root of my pain, and giving me targeted workout programs that have made a real difference. Overall, it’s been an incredibly educational and helpful experience. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for someone who’s knowledgeable, thorough, and really invested in your recovery.

I was struggling with IT band issues for few years and it was impacting my running and causing back issues. Dr. Martin was able to help me understand where the issue was coming from. We created a plan to strengthen weakened muscles over 6 months. My back pain is gone and feel much stronger than before. I highly recommend making getting a consult.

FAQs

Here's what active adults in Indian Harbour Beach typically ask before their first visit.

Why should I choose cash-based PT over insurance-based care?

With cash-based care, you're not limited by visit caps or pre-approvals. You get longer sessions, more hands-on work, and a plan built around your specific needs—not what insurance decides to cover.

How do I know if physical therapy is right for my injury?

If you're dealing with pain, limited mobility, or an injury that's affecting your training or daily life, PT is likely a great fit. We'll assess your situation in the first visit and map out a clear path forward.

Do you offer any payment plans?

We keep pricing straightforward and transparent. While we don't bill insurance, we're happy to provide a superbill you can submit for potential reimbursement. Reach out and we'll walk you through the details.
