"Matt has been great since I first started seeing him in 2021. I initially saw him for a hamstring issue that other practitioners couldn't figure out. Within a few sessions, Matt got me back out onto the track, finally pain-free. Since then, I have gone back to Matt to keep myself healthy in and out of season, and every time I've seen him, he shows true care and concern, giving his all to figure out how to help. He is always able to explain the how and why of his methods, and he always answers any questions or concerns I have."
