Running Physical Therapy in Melbourne FL

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.
