Matt is an Advanced Neurological Physiotherapist who helps adults living with Parkinson’s disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, vestibular disorders, concussion and other neurological conditions improve their mobility, confidence and independence. He is passionate about helping people stay active, participate in the activities they enjoy and achieve goals that are meaningful to them.
