Matt Carpenter PT, DPT

Doctor of Physical Therapy

Bio

My first introduction to physical therapy came as the kid who found a way to get injured during every sport and activity imaginable. My experience as a patient and the atmosphere inspired my young mind and started me on the path to becoming a PT. My love for physical therapy comes from seeing the results from hard work a patient puts in. From the athlete, the weekend warrior to those transitioning from the sedentary lifestyle to the active one; they’re all rewarding. The whole process of physical therapy is like a Jedi master guiding his padawan through the journey of getting a person back to what they love to do without being limited by their body or their mind. Getting a person on the right path, guiding them to success and empowering a person to reach their goals is the joy of being a physical therapist.

Everyday is a chance to be better than you were yesterday and that is a mentality I bring to being a PT. I’ve had the wonderful experience of being a PT student at both the Medford and Mount Laurel Breakthru locations and have had three clinical experiences in the orthopedic fields.

I torn my bicep tendon & waited 3 months before the repair. The bicep had significant muscle atrophy. Breakthru is an outstanding PT facility, Tim S. and his team used advanced & extensive technologies to shorten recovery from the torn bicep & frightening muscle atrophy. They put together a comprehensive rehab program involving bands, stretch, weights, recum bikes, soft tissue & scar message and blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy. In 5 weeks I progressed from being extremely weak with a bicep. My bicep was 1.5 inches smaller since the injury with limited range of motion. Five weeks later my arm has full function and I can easily curling 25lb dumbells. BFR under the direction of a PT really allowed muscle growth with much lighter weight. I joined a large support group with similar injuries and it appears no one has recovered as quickly as me. Tim's program & the Breakthru facility with certified BFR & deep scar tissue therapies accelerated my recovery by 6 months.

I came to Breakthru after I threw my back out. Shannon has been phenomenal in getting me back to myself. She diagnosed where the pain was coming from, explained everything in terms of how I could understand. It's been a few weeks and I have been pain free and moving much better. Getting an appointment was easy and they were always able to work with my schedule. In addition, if I didn't do my at home exercises, I was never made to feel like I did something wrong or felt guilty for not doing them. I would highly recommend them for PT needs!
