Dr. Matt Welinski
PT, DPT, (He/him) | Seattle - Ballard
"“I value communication, evidence-based practice, and ingenuity when it comes to my practice, and to keep the goals and values of every patient as the driving factor of their plan of care.”"
Matt earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Creighton University in Omaha, NE after completing his undergraduate studies at Gonzaga University. He takes a patient-centered, evidence-based approach to care, designing individualized treatment plans that align with each patient’s specific goals and lifestyle. Matt was drawn to physical therapy because he wants everyone to be able to move safely and participate in the activities that bring them joy. He has developed skills in manual therapy practice, gait and running analysis, and therapeutic exercise prescription which he feels make a significant impact in the plan of care for his patients. He also has a strong clinical interest in working with rotational athletes and runners, and he especially enjoys helping people return to sports like lacrosse, golf, and trail running. Outside of the clinic, he enjoys golfing, discovering new restaurants and breweries, and going to concerts.
