​

As for his treatment philosophy, Matt uses a movement-based approach when caring for and working with patients and athletes. And, when creating training and/or treatment plans, Matt relies solely on sound, clinical, and evidence-based methods. However, because his 'medicine' is activity-based, he uses education and exercise as his primary treatment modality.
