Matt really knows what he was talking about. He helped get me back into CrossFit pain-free. I would definitely recommend.

My experience with Matt for physical therapy has been exceptional. I came in with a painful shoulder injury that limited my movement and daily activities, and Matt quickly put together a clear, effective treatment plan tailored to my needs. He explained every exercise with precision, made sure my form was correct, and adjusted the program as I progressed. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail made a noticeable difference in my recovery. My shoulder mobility and strength have improved significantly, and I feel more confident than ever. I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for expert, results-driven physical therapy.

Dr. Matt is a true lifesaver! I came to him struggling with hip pain that made it impossible to work out, golf, or play pickleball. As someone who drives a lot for work, I found it excruciating to get out of the car due to the pain. In just two months under Dr. Matt’s care, I’m back to enjoying all three activities pain-free. I’m incredibly grateful for his expertise and highly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional physical therapy. Thank you, Dr. Matt!

Highly recommend. Not your average PT session. It was cupping, needling, massage, and an elaborate strengthening system that went above and beyond! If you’re looking for an all in one physical therapist… Matt is your guy!

I’ve been working with Tropic Athlete for the last few months to address a back injury. Matt has been incredibly thorough in his diagnosis, treatment, and most of all education regarding the cause of my problem. I’ve mastered better form and learned many stretches and exercises that have led to a significant improvement in my back pain…. I’m now ready to start lifting again, cautiously! Tropic Athlete came highly recommended by several friends at my gym and I couldn’t be happier!
Heather Hoehl
It was great working with Matt. He helped me reduce the pain in my knee and low back and greatly improved my mobility. I enjoy playing Pickleball and my ability to move while I play is much better as is my recovery afterward. I highly recommend using Tropic Athlete, he evaluates and works with the whole body, not isolating a single joint or body part.

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.
