Matt is an amazing PT!! I have relied on him for years to treat my shoulders and hips. Matt’s expertise has helped me work around my injuries while maintaining an active lifestyle. There is no other person I would trust.
Danny Accardo
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.

Matt is so wonderful to work with. I have a brachial plexus injury in one arm and a slap tear in my other shoulder. He listened to my concerns and helped work to increase my range of motion and reduce pain and build up other muscles. He gave me helpful exercises and printouts so I could do them on my own. He used techniques no other PT had used, such as dry needling and cupping. And explained all the benefits of each. I notice a difference after a few sessions with him and continue the exercises he taught me.
Megan Wallace
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
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!
Victoria Maynard
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!
