Holistic, personalized physical therapy

Empowering you to understand your body, take control of your health, and live above your injury.

Standard physical therapy is not designed to treat the whole you. 

The standard physical therapy practice is bound by insurance procedure codes that do not allow their doctors to deviate from fixed plans of care. These one-size-fits-none treatments often do not get to the root cause of your pain and fail to set you up for lasting health.

Unfortunately, this often leads to . . .

Repetitive, tedious exercises that never seem to help.

Treatments that only address what insurance considers “medically necessary.”

Isolated treatments that ignore how your body works as a whole.

Shared appointments and a revolving door of doctors.

Unanswered questions and fear that your pain will return.

Pain that is not resolved in the number of visits determined by
your policy. 

You deserve better physical therapy. 

Located on the border of Atlanta’s Old Fourth Ward and Inman Park neighborhoods, Foundation Physical Therapy is intentionally out-of-network with health insurance companies so that we can provide holistic, personalized physical therapy that empowers you to understand your body, take control of your health, and live above your injury.
It is how to build a better you.

    Chelsea

  • "I came to Foundation Physical Therapy with lingering back tightness from overexertion and degraded form while running, which Dr. Matthew helped relieve quickly over 2-3 sessions through some targeted massage, mobility and strength exercises, and dry needling. He then helped me over the course of several months to work through a variety of minor but persistent issues and helped me to grow and adapt my training plans to become a stronger, more resilient, and pain-free runner."

    Brian

  • "Dr. Matthew gives you his full, undivided attention through each session, bringing years of education and experience in PT, athletic training, neural plasticity, and all things body and mind wellness. Being a patient here is like talking to an expert mechanic, a therapist, and a personal trainer all at once. If you're dealing with some sort of pain, recurrent injury, acute injury, or want to do something good for your body and do better in your athletic pursuits, Foundational Physical Therapy is for you!"
