After one visit and two weeks of following Matt's plan, my Achilles was back on track for my race. 100% worth it.

I can’t recommend Matt and San Francisco Physical Therapy & Performance enough. I came in with a torn plantar fascia tendon with the goal of returning to rugby as quickly and safely as possible, and Matt delivered exactly that. He took the time to understand my injury and my goals, creating a customized, sport-specific plan that went far beyond generic physical therapy. The environment at SFPTP is supportive and professional, and Matt made it easy to openly discuss both the physical and mental challenges of recovery. Thanks to Matt, I’ve regained confidence post injury and have since returned to doing what I love. This is personalized, performance-focused PT at its best. Highly recommend to anyone serious about recovery and long-term results.

I started seeing Matt after tearing my ACL last winter while skiing. I originally chose him because of his great reviews and because the gym that he works out of is so close to my apartment, and I’m so glad I did. Before my surgery, he gave me incredibly helpful prehab exercises that made a noticeable difference in how quickly I recovered after surgery. After surgery, he made an effort to understand my lifestyle, creating a routine that was practical, manageable, and easy to stay consistent with on my own time. All sessions are 1-on-1, so you get his full attention every visit. Matt really knows the science behind what he’s doing and always takes the time to explain the “why” behind each movement or why my body could be feeling what it is feeling, which I really appreciate. I’m now 8 months post-op, and I genuinely couldn’t be where I am without his guidance and support. I highly recommend Matt to any athlete looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and results-driven physical therapist.

I came to see Matt for a chronic foot injury that had been significantly limiting my distance running for years. In our 6 sessions together, Matt got me back to consistently running 15-20 miles a week, and gave me the tools and understanding to continue building my mileage higher. The gait analysis session at the track was particularly helpful in allowing me to see the root cause of my injury, and it served as useful motivation for the exercises in the gym. I appreciate that he takes the time to explain the “why” behind the exercises he prescribes; you can tell that he’s creating a personalized recovery plan for your specific needs. I feel much more confident in my return to distance running after working with Matt. If an injury has been holding you back athletically or functionally, whether for a few weeks or a few years, I’d highly recommend going to see Matt!

I worked with Matt for about 10 sessions to recover from a hamstring injury, and I couldn’t recommend him more. He was easy to talk to, making physical therapy more enjoyable and less of a chore. What really stood out was how flexible he was with my busy schedule—something that made it possible for me to stick with the program consistently. Thanks to his support, I’ve made a strong recovery.

I was suffering from severe neck pain and debilitating headaches that interfered with my daily life. After trying both my primary care provider and chiropractic care with little relief, I sought physical therapy. I was able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Matthew Kuik, and from the very first visit, it was clear he had pinpointed the issue and developed a thoughtful plan to get me back to feeling my best. In just four sessions over six weeks, I saw significant improvement and was able to gradually return to my normal activities. Each session, Matthew provided valuable knowledge and shared different approaches to support my healing. I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise and care - 10/10 recommend!
