Physical Therapy Techniques

  • Joint mobilizations, active release techniques, soft tissue release, all of which compliment our over arching treatment approach.

  • Experience targeted pain relief and improved muscle function with effective dry needling treatments.

  • Relax, rejuvenate, and promote wellness with cupping therapy. As with all other modalities, this is used as a compliment to other treatments.

  • Matt is the best PT i've ever worked with and an awesome person. As a former professional athlete, Matt helped me prepare for, recover from and thrive after two almost career ending knee surgeries. Matt is an expert in his field and I highly recommend him for all your physical therapy, strength and performance training needs. Matt is personable, knowledgable, thoughtful and highly invested in his client's recovery and ongoing success.

  • He's an incredible PT committed to helping his clients find success no matter the obstacles! I’ve been a client of Matt Smith for over 6 years. He has a deep understanding of biomechanics, clinical knowledge, and ease of adaptability one needs as a professional athlete on the road. When the unexpected happened requiring continuous complex surgeries, Matt has never given up despite the curveballs and unexpected challenges I’ve faced. I trust him with my care and despite it being a difficult recovery there is always laughter with continued hope for what’s to come in appointments.

  • Matt unlocked my potential well beyond my wildest dreams and helped me reach my performance goals faster than imagined. He's constantly in my corner with coaching and physical therapy, helping identify high-value training for my health and well being. Matt strikes a great balance between supporting my needs and pushing me beyond my perceived limitations.

I am first and foremost an athlete advocate. I take the time to understand you as a person—your athletic and injury history, and what drives you to perform in all areas of your life. As a former All-American College Lacrosse player, I know the commitment and effort it takes to achieve success, both on and off the field.

I don’t subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach. Health and injury aren’t uniform, so I tailor my treatment to each individual. I blend traditional physical assessments with motion capture, manual techniques, and pattern recognition, all while considering your sport, lifestyle, and goals. Together, we create a realistic plan to address the issues holding you back, with open and honest communication at the core of our partnership.

I earned my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Drexel University and have experience at one of the nation’s top orthopedic firms. I stay active in the lacrosse community, continually advancing my own fitness with Olympic lifting, jiu jitsu and running. As a husband and father, you might catch me running around Boulder or riding at the local bike park with my kids. I’m committed to staying at the forefront of sports rehab, constantly learning to better serve my clients.
