Testimonials

WOW! I have had problems with my back due to a construction accident when I was in High School… 30 years ago. Now, I am a dentist and have been practicing for almost 20 years. During that time, due to poor ergonomics and lack of physical/core conditioning, I have had my back go into spasm many times. In the past, I would seek help from a Chiropractor. I even had to resort to steroid injections…They would alleviate my pain, but not solve the underlying condition.

Whether you have nagging joint pain or are debilitated by joint or muscle pain, you should give Matt a call…you will NOT be disappointed.

As someone who’s spent my share of time in physical therapy I can honestly say Matt approaches the process from a very different & refreshing lens. I’ve recommended Matt to many & will continue to do so without a moment’s hesitation.

As someone who’s spent my share of time in physical therapy I can honestly say Matt approaches the process from a very different & refreshing lens.

With the use of Functional Manual Therapy, he was able to quickly get my pelvis moving and freed up. Thanks so much for your care and compassion. I will definitely send friends.

I wished I lived in town to get treated by Dr. Holbrook. He is such a great manual therapist it is very difficult to find. In September I came to the area to visit a friend and needed an appointment for my lower back. With the use of Functional Manual Therapy. He was able to quickly get my pelvis moving and freed up. Thanks so much for your care and compassion. I will definitely send friends.

Mathew Holbrook provides a type of PT well beyond the normal nuts and bolts approach of most PT centers. I have done both and while there is nothing wrong with the standard approach to PT Mathew excels at the nuanced elements required to get your injured body 100% back to normal….

Mathew Holbrook provides a type of PT well beyond the normal nuts and bolts approach of most PT centers. I have done both and while there is nothing wrong with the standard approach to PT Mathew excels at the nuanced elements required to get your injured body 100% back to normal. I don’t claim to understand everything he did but the bodywork, insight and specific exercises he provided definitely improved my knee (torn meniscus repair) and provided me with a sense of PT completion. I highly recommend Mathew and his work.

I want to thank you for all the tender loving care I received at your hands as I recovered from my rotator cuff operation. You coaxed me along patiently, constantly helping me to expand my strength and range of motion, and restraining my inclination to rush the therapy process. As a result, I seem to have achieved a high level of recovery in considerably less time than others who have gone through the same experience. I felt your therapy program was useful, effective and well designed to rehabilitate as fast as the nature of my injury permitted.

Matthew Holbrook was just wonderful…. He never once rushed us through the visit like other doctors do. After my daughters first visit she improved 80%.  The days before our visit my daughter was in horrible pain and could only cry day and night. When we left his office that same day she was able to remove her knee brace and not use her crutches to get around! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

Again, thank you for all of your time you spent with us and thank you for helping my daughter so much. I wish there were more doctors like you that put their heart into what they do. Thank you for your time as well as your staff’s time.

Matt answered all my questions in language I understood and related to. Matt’s professionalism and expertise in his field are second to none. Now, for the best part, after each session I began to experience major improvement in my pain levels, and as an added bonus, my range of motion and mobility increased.  I do not need any further pain medication. I believe this outcome is solely a result of my treatment.

I highly recommend that you run, not walk, to see Matt.

… I was very fortunate to find someone with your kindness and expertise to be able to undergo treatment with you… Thank you so much for the tireless efforts, the extra time you carved out for my care, to render me feeling so well from your treatment. You have a great gift in your healing of others and should feel so incredibly good about the work you do each day to help others at such a high level.

I am extremely grateful to you for all you have done to “get me back into fighting shape.” I was extremely debilitated with pains and dizziness when I first arrived at your clinic. I had tried so many forms of treatment without success. I was very fortunate to find someone with your kindness and expertise to be able to undergo treatment with you.

Needless to say, a few months later, I feel great improvement and relief. There is no greater gift you can give someone, despite the challenges with medicine and insurance companies, than the gift of their health back. Thank you so much for the tireless efforts, the extra time you carved out for my care, to render me feeling so well from your treatment. You have a great gift in your healing of others and should feel so incredibly good about the work you do each day to help others at such a high level.

It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Matthew L. Holbrook. My story begins when I was diagnosed by my orthopedist with two rotator cuff tears, compounded by a torn bicep. The injury was to my right, dominate arm. I had limited motion in my arm and surgery was recommended. For a number of personal reasons I wanted to postpone surgery as long as possible. In an attempt relieve some of the pain I was experiencing on a daily basis, my doctor recommended physical therapy. I, consequently, began conventional physical therapy and got little or no relief from the daily pain. I was on the road to surgery.

Matthew Holbrook was recommended by a friend who sang the praises.. He told me Matt was trained in Functional Manual Therapy techniques, which had proven very successful in reducing pain, and he personally was one of his success stories. Although this facility was not close to my home, I decided it would be worth the travel time if it worked. Immediately, I was impressed by Matt. During my entire session, he made me aware of exactly what he was doing and what benefits were realistically expected. He answered all my questions in language I understood and related to. Matt’s professionalism and expertise in his field are second to none. Now, for the best part, after each session I began to experience major improvement in my pain levels, and as an added bonus, my range of motion and mobility increased. My quality of life began to improve and my doctor was quite impressed. His comment, at my last visit, was that I should not have the strength, with my injury, to raise my arm the way I do. He was also impressed by the improvement in my pain level. Although, I am not totally pain free, my pain is quite manageable, and my need for surgery has been postponed. I do not need any further pain medication. My pain in controlled with Advil on a need basis. I believe this outcome is solely a result of my treatment.

Anyone who has experienced pain on a daily basis can relate to how debilitating it can be and how it impacts your quality of life. I highly recommend that you run, not walk, to see Matt.

I had been constantly experiencing moderate to extreme neck pain for the past ten years. My lengthy discomfort caused me to involuntarily jerk my neck continually. I often missed out on a good night’s sleep due to the pain. I had been to various doctors, physical therapists and acupuncturists. After only several weeks Matt was able to break me of my neck twitching and bring me relief which I thought I would never experience. I continue to do the exercises and stretches he prescribed. My 13 year old son continually requires physical therapy and he also is grateful that we switched from his former physical therapist.

In all my years of various injuries you are the most proficient at curing them. Your ability to diagnose and treat are unequaled. Thanks for being the best.

I felt your therapy program was useful, effective and well designed to rehabilitate as fast as the nature of my injury permitted. I also found my three-a-week, two-a-week visits a pleasant personal experience. I’m sure this aids and speeds the recovery process. During my last two weeks, I’ve done all sorts of foolish things, cavorting around with my 40 pound grandson. My shoulder seems to have held up well. Thanks for all you’ve done for me!
