A North Carolina native, Matt is always looking to use his strengths to serve the local community.

Matt received his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Campbell University and continued his education earning his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Elon University. During his undergrad and graduate studies, Matt led multiple research projects on utilization of GPS and biometric data with varsity women’s lacrosse and the acute physiologic and hormonal effects of blood flow restriction training.

“Highly recommend The Running PTs for any sports related injury or recovery! I started working with them while I was training for my first marathon and the care I received from them was invaluable in getting me to the start and finish lines. Since then, I have continued to receive care for shoulder, back, and hip issues that were unrelated to running and can tell my body has been improving in mobility and strength for my hobbies, as well as day to day activities.”
