Build strength, recover well, and keep training in West Melbourne

5 stars across the board for Matt and his boutique style practice at Tropic Athlete. I have been dealing with debilitating migraines for most of my life and I am happy to say I am now feeling close to symptom free after working with him. He also significantly changed my approach to an old meniscus tear and how I train lower body. If you are looking for a hands on , one on one approach with a waterfront view, he's your guy!

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.

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.

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!

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!

Dr. Martin has been a game changer in my life. I have suffered with back pain for over 15 years. I've been to various chiropractors who I see for a few minutes and then they move along to the next patient. Dr. Martin was the first professional to spend quality time with me in order to truly understand my back problems. He helped me understand the triggers that lead to my debilitating pain, which was something no one has ever done for me. He explained why I have been suffering and developed a plan to help me. He gave the strategies to prevent the pain through exercises that I can do at home and spends time with me to ensure I am doing the exercises properly. Dr. Martin wanted to hear about my daily activities and his insight, from the type of office furniture I use, to how I load my washer/dryer has helped me function at work and at home. I am very grateful and forever thankful I found him. Dr. Martin cares and takes the time to understand the needs of those he serves. I can't recommend him enough.
