Therapist bios:

Matt Wymore OTD, OTR, CHT, COMT attended the University of Nebraska where he completed his undergraduate degree in Biology.  He then attended Creighton University where he completed his doctorate in Occupational Therapy.   After completing his upper extremity training at Stanford University and the University of Alabama he went to work for the Hughston Sports medicine clinic in Columbus Georgia.  This allowed him to work with athletes from the  junior high level and all the way up to the professional MLB rank.  Matt has worked closely with highschool and college athletes for the past 22 years, and has developed off season and pre-season programs to prevent injuries and increase athletic performance.  After 22 years of rehabbing tommy john surgery, little leaguer's elbow, and shoulder pain it has become his passion to prevent the baseball players from needing this type of intervention.  His main goal is to educate the parents, coaches, and kids to reduce the amount of injuries that are currently going on in non-professional sports.
