Our Mission

Our mission is to provide personalized, high-end physical therapy and performance services to empower clients to achieve their physical goals and live healthier lives. We aim to create a supportive and inspirational environment that meets clients where they are, while providing effective and approachable care.

Intentional Treatment

One-on-one care with a Doctor of Physical Therapy, always. We provide patient specific evidence based treatment methods driven by each client’s case and unique goals. At SFPTP, you will never feel like a number. We personalize our care to each patient so they reach their goals confidently and faster than traditional PT clinic settings.

Goal Oriented

Goals are paramount to measuring successful treatment. We work with you to define and develop a plan to reach your potential. Whether it’s a high level activity such as “to run a marathon” or “lift x amount of weight” or being able to balance the load of daily life without having to alter your desired workouts or activities due to pain. If you are unable to do it, we are here to bridge the gap from where you are and where you want to be.

Building Independence

We empower out clients to have autonomy and independence in their program, equipping each individual through personalized treatment plans, education and support. We provide each patient with exercise programming coaching, flexible treatment plans, and access to a physical therapist when questions come up. Our personalized approach leads to quicker results with less visits, a better understanding of how to prevent injury, and confidence to handle flare ups if they occur.

Flexible Scheduling

Life happens and our desired schedules can vary greatly. We believe this should not limit a patient’s access to top notch care. Therefore, we do our very best to offer a large variety of appointment times including early mornings, late evenings, and weekends. Consistency is important to any improvement and by providing flexible scheduling options and hybrid programs, consistency is easier to achieve.

Evidence Based

Unfortunately, health care providers don’t have all the answers. However, research is continuously done to provide answers or insight to guide treatment in the most efficient way to help a higher percentage of people struggling from pain and injury. We are dedicated to stay up to date on the best practices, to ensure the highest level of care, and to provide our patients with the latest cutting edge therapy based on science.

Honest and Transparent

We are here to help you, plain and simple. Before your visit, we offer a telephone consultation to get you started quickly on your journey. If our expertise does not fit your rehabilitation needs or situation, we will refer you to another trusted provider that can assist you. We are honest and transparent about our treatment plan and commited to ensure every patient we come into contact reaches their full potential.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a runner with longstanding hip pain on one side. It was starting to get worse and more frequent, and I was worried about my ability to keep running long term. Matt diagnosed the problem and worked with me on strengthening/stretching/mobility, and within a couple months it was 95% better. If I had known the issue was that treatable with PT, I would have gone much earlier. Matt was great at explaining everything, and at finding routines that are realistic for me to do at home given the time/equipment I have. I highly recommend SFPTP.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Matt and San Francisco Physical Therapy & Performance enough. I came in with a torn plantar fascia tendon with the goal of returning to rugby as quickly and safely as possible, and Matt delivered exactly that. He took the time to understand my injury and my goals, creating a customized, sport-specific plan that went far beyond generic physical therapy. The environment at SFPTP is supportive and professional, and Matt made it easy to openly discuss both the physical and mental challenges of recovery. Thanks to Matt, I’ve regained confidence post injury and have since returned to doing what I love. This is personalized, performance-focused PT at its best. Highly recommend to anyone serious about recovery and long-term results.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Matt after tearing my ACL last winter while skiing. I originally chose him because of his great reviews and because the gym that he works out of is so close to my apartment, and I’m so glad I did. Before my surgery, he gave me incredibly helpful prehab exercises that made a noticeable difference in how quickly I recovered after surgery. After surgery, he made an effort to understand my lifestyle, creating a routine that was practical, manageable, and easy to stay consistent with on my own time. All sessions are 1-on-1, so you get his full attention every visit. Matt really knows the science behind what he’s doing and always takes the time to explain the “why” behind each movement or why my body could be feeling what it is feeling, which I really appreciate. I’m now 8 months post-op, and I genuinely couldn’t be where I am without his guidance and support. I highly recommend Matt to any athlete looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and results-driven physical therapist.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to see Matt for a chronic foot injury that had been significantly limiting my distance running for years. In our 6 sessions together, Matt got me back to consistently running 15-20 miles a week, and gave me the tools and understanding  to continue building my mileage higher. The gait analysis session at the track was particularly helpful in allowing me to see the root cause of my injury, and it served as useful motivation for the exercises in the gym. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the “why” behind the exercises he prescribes; you can tell that he’s creating a personalized recovery plan for your specific needs. I feel much more confident in my return to distance running after working with Matt. If an injury has been holding you back athletically or functionally, whether for a few weeks or a few years, I’d highly recommend going to see Matt!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I worked with Matt for about 10 sessions to recover from a hamstring injury, and I couldn’t recommend him more. He was easy to talk to, making physical therapy more enjoyable and less of a chore. What really stood out was how flexible he was with my busy schedule—something that made it possible for me to stick with the program consistently. Thanks to his support, I’ve made a strong recovery.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was suffering from severe neck pain and debilitating headaches that interfered with my daily life. After trying both my primary care provider and chiropractic care with little relief, I sought physical therapy. I was able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Matthew Kuik, and from the very first visit, it was clear he had pinpointed the issue and developed a thoughtful plan to get me back to feeling my best. In just four sessions over six weeks, I saw significant improvement and was able to gradually return to my normal activities. Each session, Matthew provided valuable knowledge and shared different approaches to support my healing. I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and care - 10/10 recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Matt about two months ago when I was facing a running injury as I was training for an upcoming marathon. As a 30 year-old guy, I had been telling myself that I didn't need physical therapy and could treat my injury myself. However, within just one session, I knew that I made the right choice by coming to Matt because of his thoughtful and intentional approach. From mobility exercises to strength training to running assessments, Matt's attention to detail made it possible for me to make progress with my injury while I continued to train for my marathon. He thoughtfully re-worked my marathon training plan to ensure that I could continue to run the mileage needed for training without aggravating my injury. Because of him, I was not only able to significantly reduce the pain I was dealing with before my marathon, but also beat my goals that I had set out for myself pre-injury! Matt is the best and I can't recommend him enough!
