Matt Plantinga

Matt received his Bachelor of Arts in Kinesiology from Calvin University in 2017 and his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Washington University in St. Louis in 2020. During his undergraduate studies, Matt ran cross country and was also a track and field athlete. He moved to the Pacific NW in 2020 and joined the MTI Physical Therapy team in Magnolia in 2021. In 2023, he graduated from MTI Physical Therapy’s Sports Residency Program.

Matt has passions for both sports and orthopedics, hoping to tap into every person’s inner athlete. He has worked in both professional and collegiate sports in both physical therapy and strength and conditioning roles. As a result, he brings this experience and knowledge to his physical therapy practice, as well as offering personal training. He also serves as a Clinical and Field Mentor, as well as a Strength & Conditioning Adjunct Faculty Member, for MTI Physical Therapy’s Sports Residency program. Matt believes strongly in the power of human touch and that movement is medicine. He aims to be a guide on his patients’ journeys to understanding and developing their bodies to achieve their goals.

In his free time, Matt loves to move in any and every way possible. He is constantly seeking a challenge, a beautiful landscape, or a ball. Ideally, all three aspects would be involved.
