Performance Recovery & Training in Melbourne FL

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.

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!

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.

I was referred to Matt for a nasty calf strain which stopped me from running, ruck walking, etc. Working at Tropic Athlete, in only 4 sessions, has me running again, mtn. biking, ruck walking, and more. Matt is the real deal and used multiple therapy methods to get me back on the roads! I also have strengthening and flexibility homework so I can continue to 100% recovery.

I had an amazing experience at Tropic Athlete! I came in with a meniscus tear hoping to avoid surgery, and Matt created a personalized plan that focused on rebuilding my strength and fixing my mechanics the right way. Within a month, I noticed a huge improvement including less pain, better awareness, and more confidence using my knee. Matt is very professional, positive, and truly cares about your progress. Thanks to Matt, I’ve been able to recover while avoiding surgery. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a non-surgical approach to healing!

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.
