Laurent, Matthieu PT

At Change Physical Therapy Clinic, we believe in empowering individuals to achieve their health and fitness goals through evidence-based, one-on-one treatments. Our clinic is founded by Matthieu Laurent, a French licensed Physical Therapist and Osteopath who moved to the United States to enrich his clinical experience. With a passion for using his knowledge of the human body, manual skills, and exercise to help patients reach their goals, Matthieu has been practicing Physical Therapy for 8 years.

Matthieu specializes in treating back pain and running-related injuries. As an avid long-distance road and trail runner himself, he has completed many marathons and a few ultramarathons. This personal experience has driven him to complete expert training at The Running Clinic in Quebec and attend Harvard Medical School running conferences, giving him a unique perspective and understanding of how to provide the best care for runners. He has also recently become a RRCA (Road Runners Club of America) Certified Coach.

Our team at Change Physical Therapy Clinic is dedicated to providing a high standard of care through evidence-based treatments. We understand that everyone is an athlete, and we believe in your body's ability to recover. Whether you are looking to prevent injuries, recover from an existing condition, or achieve your personal running goals, we are here to help.
