We’re so excited to introduce you to the newest member of the Empower team! Say hello to Matt, an experienced Physical Therapist who’s bringing some serious expertise and heart to our community.
Matt’s story into PT is one we love. As a baseball player and wrestler who dealt with his own sports injuries, he started strength training at age 16, leading to a huge realization: training wasn’t just about getting stronger or performing better. It was about staying healthy and actually being able to do the things he loved without constantly getting sidelined, setting him on the path to help others do the same.
He earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from American International College and his Bachelor of Science in Psychology from , but what really sets Matt apart is how he shows up for his clients. He takes time to truly understand each person’s story, their goals, and what matters most to them. Then he uses progressive loading and intentional exercise programming to guide them through rehab that actually builds confidence and resilience for the long haul.
Matt’s currently deep in his Sports & Orthopedic Manual Therapy Fellowship through the Institute for Athlete Regeneration and is also working toward his Provider Certification. He’s also certified in Sports & Orthopedic Manual Therapy (CSOMT) and continues to invest in education that helps him serve you better.
Some things Matt is especially passionate about helping with include:
💪 Rehab for powerlifters – whether you’re competing or just love moving heavy weight
🏋️ Strength training for sports performance and everyday life
💉 Dry needling for orthopedic rehab and sport performance
🙌 Advanced joint mobilization and manipulation
🧠 Pain science and management – because understanding your pain changes everything
⚡ Building rehab plans that fit YOUR lifestyle and keep you resilient
We couldn’t be more excited to have him as part of the Empower family. Drop a 👋 in the comments and let Matt know what you’re working on or what brought you here today!
