Meet Your Director

Chris Mathew, PT, DPT

MY HOBBIES: In his spare time, Chris enjoys playing basketball, lifting weights, and spend quality time with his family and friends. He recently picked up golf as well, but admits that he could use some lessons.

Chris Mathew was introduced to physical therapy after suffering from repeated ankle injuries while playing basketball growing up. His injuries cost him a significant amount of playing time in basketball and other high school sports, but when he finally decided to see a physical therapist, it allowed him to play at a much higher level. Chris was also impressed by the high level of focus and commitment that his physical therapists paid to his recovery, and he decided during these early experiences that physical therapy was the profession he wanted to pursue. This led Chris to attend Seton Hall University, where he earned his undergraduate and doctoral degrees.

Chris joined Twin Boro Physical Therapy as a staff physical therapist in June 2021 and was promoted to the clinical director role in April 2022. Chris started his physical therapy journey with Twin Boro and is still happily treating his patients in his home base of Lincoln Park.

Chris treats a variety of patients of all ages and ability levels, but he specializes in sports injuries, ACL tears, rotator cuff tears, temporomandibular disorders, and vestibular/balance training. He’s a strong believer in progressive loading and training his patients in functional patterns to improve their quality of life. He uses lots of strength training principles to load his patients up and help them reach their goals. Chris also ensures that each program he designs is individualized and specific for the patient, which he knows will help them reach their goals much faster.

Chris believes that the One2Four model works for him and his patients as a nice middle ground of communication within therapy. He feels it serves as a medium that allows the clinical mindset of a physical therapist and the mindset of a patient to communicate about function, progress, goals, and prognosis. It also helps patients visualize where they are, where they were, and most importantly, where they are going in terms of creating, achieving, and exceeding their own goals.

I really enjoyed my time here. All the doctors and employees are nice and attentive. You dont just feel like another patient when you walk in with everyone knowing you on a more personal level to give a more comfortable environment to heal in.

From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The facilities were clean, organized, and equipped with the latest technology to assist with my treatment.My therapist, Chris, was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about my progress. They took the time to explain each exercise and treatment, making sure I was comfortable with everything before moving on. I was impressed by the level of expertise and attention to detail they exhibited throughout my therapy sessions.Overall, this is the place to go if you’re in need of physical therapy.

I’m currently being treated here for a fractured femur and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. The office is comfortable and lively, and they do everything within reason to make sure you’re comfortable and safe in your healing journey there. Dr. Matthews is respectful, caring, and understanding. He understands how hard it can be, but constantly pushes us all to do and be our best. I always leave feeling worn out but better than before, especially when I’m having a bad day.

I recently tore my ACL and meniscus as a college basketball player. When I came to twin boro I was behind on my PT and was concerned about rehab. Ever since coming to Chris I am back on track to where I should be. I am so grateful for everything him and the staff have done for me and I look forward to continuing my rehab!

Dr. Chris Mathew’s physical therapy plan has absolutely changed my life for the better. I used to think that PT was only for after surgery or an accident. I have crippling arthritis in both knees and 4 herniated discs along with spinal stenosis. In a very short time I am waking so much better and my pain levels have been cut in half.AND I am not done yet! Please give Dr. Mathew a call- he is amazing!

Love the employees here! Everyone is extremely professional, knowledgeable and above all super friendly. I cannot express how much better my shoulder is with the help of Twin Boro Lincoln Park! I have my full range of motion back and am super happy with how quickly they made that happen! I even recommended Twin Boro to my mother who is currently receiving therapy on her shoulder (like mother like daughter!). She too is progressing quite quickly. I would highly recommend Twin Boro PT of Lincoln Park!!!

Everyone at TwinBoro couldn't be nicer or more supportive! They worked with me everyday to get my strength back so I can get into the gym. I worked 1-on-1 with Chris and he was very helpful, always explained the exercises and watched over me to ensure proper form. Although rehab is not the most enjoyable, the therapists and stuff made me look forward to coming in. I started at FOUR3 and ultimately made the switch when I felt like I was not being progressed or pushed, it did not feel personalized to my previous strength and abilities. Unlike FOUR3, TwinBoro did not want to keep me there forever.

My son sustained a serious elbow and nerve injury back in June. I was recommended to Twin Borough physical therapy for his care and I could not be happier that I was. We have worked with both Derek and Chris and both of them have been phenomenal!! My son's progress has been astounding. His surgeon was even impressed with his ability level. They have certainly helped improve immensely as well as explaining the exercises and what purpose they had in his healing. I cannot say enough about how genuinely pleased I am with them and would highly recommend them.

The staff at Twin Boro is wonderful!Chris, Derek and Dan are extremely knowledgeable, supportive, professional, and patient. I mostly worked with Chris, who is truly so dedicated and passionate about his work and getting his patients feeling better as soon as possible. He prioritizes making his patients feel comfortable and taken care of, and he does a great job guiding you through your treatment plan. Dan, the pt tech, also did a wonderful job guiding, supporting and engaging with each patient. Don’t bother slacking on your exercises because they will catch you right away haha! Overall a very welcoming, warm and fun environment. Would highly recommend this place!!

I was treated at the Lincoln Park location for knee pain from a sport related injury. As soon as I walked in, all staff , front desk and physical therapists, were very welcoming and made me feel very taken care of. They explained the plan for my treatment and kept me in the loop of everything that they were doing to me as well as what the exercises were doing. I followed the schedule as the physical therapists told me and within no time my knee had improved tremendously. Chris and Derek are very educated physical therapists who know what they are doing and I definitely will recommend this to family and friends and will be coming back in the future if needed.

I decided to seek physical therapy after experiencing back pain for more than a year and a half. Walked into this facility hoping to get some relief. I was impressed by the first visit. My assessment was super detailed. Dr. Chris is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient person. He was a great listener for all my pain points and symptoms and developed a very thorough program for me to follow. The best part was providing me enough challenges to keep me stronger but also realizing when to hold off, or take a break if my pain was recurring. I am still a regular patient at this facility and am getting stronger by the day. Him and Dan have enabled me to run my program quite independently gently giving me reminders if my form is off. They’re always watching even when you think they’re not. There’s no room to slack off. I’m so happy with my progress so far and feel liberated to a great degree since my back is getting so much better. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who is in pain and is looking to get better and stronger.

I have been going to Twin Boro Physical Therapy in Lincoln Park for 10 weeks . Chris is my Physical Therapist I can’t say enough how wonderful he is working with me ! I had a knee replacement surgery back in September . From day one Chris was very friendly and made me feel very comfortable treating me ! He treats everyone as a Individual and if we have any health issues which I do I have fibromyalgia for almost 11 years . So that makes me very sensitive to pain .He works around my fibromyalgia pain & if I tell him I am having a bad day from my fibromyalgia he will take that into account and switch around my exercises for that day , He is very caring and really goes out of his way to treat all his patients and make them feel comfortable. He makes all of his patience a priority and does whatever it takes to get us back to feeling great ! I went to another Physical Therapy place a couple years ago in a different town and they were nowhere near as thorough and helpful as Twin Boro physical therapy . Kyle also works with me too answering my questions & helping me when Chris is busy with someone else . I will have to have another knee replacement surgery on my right knee and when I do I am definitely will be going back toTwin Boro and work with Chris again he is the best ! I can’t be happier how much Chris has helped me to recover from my surgery !

I have been working with Dr. Chris to strengthen my ankle and achilles tendon after a long struggle with Achilles Tendonopathy.

I had an AMAZING experience here at Twinboro! First off it is impossible not to walk in without a smile after being greeted by the happiest and most outgoing office coordinator in the planet (Shannon). She is on top of everything from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. Next, I was treated by Jason the head physical therapist. Let me tell you something this man knows his stuff. After a dislocated left shoulder and a torn right peck tendon Jason took his time to get me right and back to work. The guy is a master at his craft! Their assistant who attended me alongside Jason, Jamie is a sweet heart with the perfect balance of tough love and gentle bedside manner. Needless to say my experience with twinboro and their extraordinary staff was remarkable! Highly highly recommend this physical therapy outfit.

I decided to go to TwinBoro Physical Therapy in Lincoln Park because a few years earlier my wife was treated there for a frozen shoulder with good results. Due to a previous job I was being treated at TwinBoro for a chronic posture problem. I was also suffering from back spasms. My therapist was Lauren Pondelick and she was a pleasure to work with. She is very knowledgeable and is very concerned with any pain you may be having during treatments or home exercises that are part of your treatment. My back spasms did disappear and my posture is something I have to work on on my own now. I recommend Lauren and the rest of the staff at TwinBoro who made each visit to their facility enjoyable.

I have been going here for about 4 months and they have been amazing since the moment I walked in. Shannon is so helpful with all my scheduling and billing questions and did it with a smile on her face and enthusiastically. Jamie is also an amazing help! She helped me with all my exercises each time and making sure my pain level was low. Lastly, the PT, Jason was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to help with my pain levels and reason for being there. I recommend Twinboro Lincoln Park for anyone needing PT. Every time I went it was 5 stars!

Twin Boro of Lincoln Park provided the necessary help and information for me to get my sore shoulder back to normal.I worked with both Rina and Jason who provided me with the knowledge of why I had the soreness and showed me exercises to stabilize the area and then eventually strengthen it.It is important to learn the proper way to do the exercises and even more important to continue doing them once you “graduate” from Twin Boro.I would recommend Twin Boro to anyone in the need for PT. Give Shannon a call - she’ll be happy to schedule a consultation with one of the therapist for you!

After 4 months of pain and stiffness in my elbow, I went to the Lincoln Park office for physical therapy. Jason was excellent in administering my treatment and within a couple of weeks my pain was gone and I have 100% motion in my elbow. I should have done this a long time ago.
