I have had an excellent experience with Matt. He took the time to attentively listen and then observe my movement (or lack thereof), quickly understanding my SI joint and related nerve pain in my hip, buttock and groin. Matt applied his extensive training to guide my electronic dry needling treatments and manipulation, which have helped me manage pain and increase my mobility. He also used both techniques to ease nerve pain in my upper arm and armpit.
He genuinely cares about my progress, always takes the time to answer my questions. Our sessions are both helpful and enjoyable.
I highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate physical therapist who genuinely cares about helping you feel better and improving the quality of your daily life.

I needed help getting my knee - following knee replacement surgery - to perform at normal flexion and extension angles. Dr. Gaunt used dry needling and additional stretching exercises to get me back to normal. I really appreciated Dr. Gaunt’s efforts and attention. I don’t think I could have come out of the surgical experience completely limp-free without his efforts. I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to improve their physical wellbeing.

Dr. Gaunt has helped me twice now! Once for my chronic neck pain and once for my back. Both times he has been able to fit me in within days of calling. He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes time to work out the proper excersises and treatments. I highly recommend!

I had back pain and sciatica that kept me from being able to go to work. As a business owner, contractor and EMS professional this was a big problem. I went to a chiropractor and while it was somewhat helpful it didn't really deal with my pain. I made an appointment with Dr Gaunt and was very impressed with the amount of time he spent doing an evaluation of my problem and medical history. He listened to me and made realistic suggestions for what he thought would be helpful. He was very thorough in explaining why I was having pain and what could be done about it. The manual therapy treatments were helpful in relieving my pain and accelerating my recovery. I walked out of the office after my first visit feeling better. Within a week of starting therapy I was back to work and within a few weeks was good to go. I would highly recommend him to anyone!
