With over six years of clinical experience and a diverse sporting background, Matty is well-equipped to investigate musculoskeletal issues, eliminate pain, and support clients in preventing future injuries. He achieves this using Melbourne Muscular Therapies’ signature hands-on technique—first addressing deep-rooted pain within the body, then transitioning clients toward a more physically active lifestyle to build confidence and healthier movement patterns.

Matty has a strong sporting background in soccer and, in 2022, was contracted to provide remedial treatment to English Premier League teams Manchester United and Crystal Palace. These days, his main sporting pursuits include rock climbing, gymnastics, and Ninja Warrior—having competed in Seasons 3 and 4 of Australian Ninja Warrior and worked as a stunt course tester for later seasons. This experience inspired him to begin training as a stunt performer.

Since joining MMT, Matty has incorporated deadlifting, squatting, and sprinting into his training regimen. He trains mostly barefoot, a practice he adopted eight years ago for ankle rehabilitation and continues to use to strengthen foundations and improve the body’s natural biomechanics.

“My true passion lies in educating clients about movement and living like a true human being. While that may sound unusual, the reality is that many people aren’t doing so. Sedentary lifestyles and poor habits are holding us back from evolving—we’re actually de-volving.

My aim is to support long-term healing by guiding clients through lifestyle adjustments and effective training, ensuring their pain doesn’t return.

I’ve experienced injury myself, so I know firsthand how demoralising it can be to live in pain and feel limited in doing what you love. But with the right hands-on treatment and attention to the foundational biohabits—like exercise, sun exposure, quality sleep, grounding, and strong social connections—we can keep moving in the right direction.”
