This can be accomplished if the following principles are followed everyday: taking care of the soft tissues and joints of our bodies with daily movement and proper exercise, utilizing efficient body mechanics and postures during our daily activities and sports, eating a clean diet, getting adequate sleep which is uninterrupted and at least 7-8 hours, avoiding environmental toxins whenever possible including those in our water supply, food, air, electromagnetic radiation, etc. and by taking time away from work.

Over time our bodies lose their access to motion and their ability to utilize the correct stabilizing muscles in the right sequence thus compromising our ability to live and play efficiently and without pain. This leads to compensations throughout the body which eventually leads to various states of chronic pain and dysfunction.
Matt, there are no adequate words to express my gratitude to you. I was thinking back to this time last year. School was starting, and for the first time in fifteen years, I would not be returning to teach. I thought it would be a happy time- more time for myself and all my many hobbies, plus travel with my husband.
It is best that all patient's bring a pair of gym shorts with them in case they are needed. We can bill your insurance if you would like us to as a courtesy. However we are an out of network provider for all insurance carriers. We require full payment for your treatment at the time of service and any reimbursement due to you will come directly back to you from your insurance company after your claim is processed by them.

Matt and his skilled integrative PT have made a huge difference in my quality of life. When I first reached out to him, I was experiencing a 10/10 nerve pain. It was debilitating. I had tried multiple nerve pain meds - the side effects were terrible and none of them really worked. Matt put together a plan with a whole body approach to address the pain and create sustainable progress. Within just a few weeks, I noticed a difference in the pain intensity and frequency. Each week I saw improvement. I'm now at the point where I have sustained pain relief; I am so thankful to have found Matt.

Matt is an incredibly skilled PT with unique approach. His ability to be detail oriented while accounting for whole body mechanics is so helpful, and he's truly invested in seeing his patients feel well. I have sent all my friends and family his way over the years and feel so fortunate to have him as a resource in times of need.
