TESTIMONIALS

“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!!”

“I’m extremely thankful for Dr. Matt Harris.  He has taught me so much about compassion, integrity, and work ethic in patient care.  I’m so excited he’s putting his years of experience in a format that’s accessible to everyone.  You will be blessed by his material because I know how much of his heart he has put into it.”
 

-Dr. Adam Hebert, DC

I’ve known Mathew Harris for 16 years. He is easy to work with and very good at finding and addressing problems with movement. His background as a trainer prepared him to further understand function and how to help clients relieve pain and return to their lives. His tutorials are easy to follow and instructive. I highly recommend working with him to regain strength and ability to keep moving. “
