"My experience with Matt for physical therapy has been exceptional. I came in with a painful shoulder injury that limited my movement and daily activities, and Matt quickly put together a clear, effective treatment plan tailored to my needs. He explained every exercise with precision, made sure my form was correct, and adjusted the program as I progressed. His professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail made a noticeable difference in my recovery.

"I had an amazing experience at Tropic Athlete! I came in with a meniscus tear hoping to avoid surgery, and Matt created a personalized plan that focused on rebuilding my strength and fixing my mechanics the right way. Within a month, I noticed a huge improvement including less pain, better awareness, and more confidence using my knee. Matt is very professional, positive, and truly cares about your progress. Thanks to Matt, I’ve been able to recover while avoiding surgery."

"I’m grateful for Matt’s help. I came to Tropic Athlete therapy with very bad lower back pain a few months ago, and I could not perform the exercises that I used to do. After 11 sessions, now, I am able to get back to gym, and by following the exercises Matt taught me, I feel my lower back is getting stronger, and my body is getting more balanced. I would recommend Matt to the ones who are looking for a good PT!"

"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!

"I was struggling with IT band issues for few years and it was impacting my running and causing back issues. Dr. Martin was able to help me understand where the issue was coming from. We created a plan to strengthen weakened muscles over 6 months. My back pain is gone and feel much stronger than before. I highly recommend making getting a consult.
