“Dr. Matthew Harris has been our “family” PT for the past 10 years! His consistent therapy has benefited me, my mom, and my husband greatly!!
Dr. Matt’s care and focus on our needs show that he will do everything possible to help you regain your strength.
His ability to communicate to the client what helps and what ‘does not’ is one of his many strengths. His instruction allows his client the benefit of better movement, less pain, and a clear understanding of how to follow through with home exercises! You can trust Dr. Matt for your best results!!”
