Hello! My name is Matthew Conroy, but please call me Matt. I grew up in Philadelphia, PA but attended college and physical therapy school in central PA at Lebanon Valley College. At LVC I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy and graduated at the top of my PT class as valedictorian and received the Academic Excellence Award.

I attended LVC for two reasons. First, they had a physical therapy program and second, I was recruited to play division 3 ice hockey. From the age of 10 ice hockey was my passion and the only thing I was interested in. From a very young age my parents and grandfather spent most weekends traveling up and down the east coast taking me to games and tournaments. It was actually an ice hockey injury that exposed me to physical therapy and peaked my interest in the profession. When I was 14 years old I had a severe lower back injury that occurred when I was hit from behind during a game. The injury was very painful and required extensive physical therapy. From proper rehab I was able to return to playing pain free and was able to have a successful college hockey career. It was that experience that got me interested in physical therapy and helped me make the decision to attend physical therapy school.

Since graduating from PT school I have developed a specific interest in manual therapy (what we call “Hands on PT”) to treat orthopedic injuries. I love how manual therapy can make immediate changes in my patients and show them that there is hope. I have continued to seek out and receive extensive training in physical therapy to be able to provide the best possible care to my patients. I am currently participating in a Fellowship program in manual therapy to further develop my skills.

Outside of the clinic, I spend most of my time with my family. I live in Timonium Maryland with my wife Lauren who is also a physical therapist. We have a son, Henry, daughter, Rosemary, and a dog, Gus, who keep us very busy.
