Samantha Tullo
Matt has been a huge help with my knee and hip mobility. He really takes the time to understand what’s going on and genuinely cares while you’re with him. Highly recommend!
Goldpoint
This was my first experience with a physical therapist and Matt made it equally enjoyable and extremely informative! I appreciated how thorough he was with the initial consult, doing a full-body examination even though my pain was very localized, he didn’t rule anything out. I feel empowered with the plan + exercises provided and am grateful to have found someone so dedicated to their craft, it definitely shows! Thank you Matt!!
Carly Crotwell
Matt took the time to fully evaluate how my body moved. This led to him diagnosing the actual issues with my form while exercising that contributed to my injuries. Matt has methodically worked with me to chip away at correcting my deficiencies. His knowledge has improved my quality of life dramatically. I highly recommend visiting Matt for his knowledge and expertise.

FAQs

Common questions about physical therapy at Tropic Athlete.

How much does physical therapy cost?

Sessions are $150-$175 each. We don't bill insurance, which means more time with you and less paperwork. Most clients see results in 6-8 visits, and we'll give you an honest timeline at your first evaluation.

Do you take insurance?

We're cash-based and don't bill insurance directly. However, many clients use HSA/FSA cards or submit superbills to their insurance for out-of-network reimbursement. We can provide the documentation you need.

How long are sessions?

Each session is 45-60 minutes of one-on-one time with your therapist. No assistants, no double-booking—just focused care designed around your goals.

What should I expect at my first visit?

We'll spend time understanding your injury, goals, and training routine. Then we'll do a thorough movement assessment, start hands-on treatment, and give you a clear plan for recovery. You'll leave with exercises and next steps.

Still have questions?

Reach out and we'll help you figure out if we're the right fit.
