In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Matt Hubbard to discuss the sport of handball and the considerations he addresses as the PT for US Handball. Matt Hubbard's bio: I have been practicing physical therapy since 2011. I knew from a young age that I wanted to be in healthcare, but my journey to physical therapy wasn't straightforward. I graduated from Oklahoma State University with a BS in Human Physiology and MS in Health & Human Performance. I worked in cardiac rehab as an exercise physiologist straight out of school. This allowed me to expand my patient care and really get comfortable working with people and helping them achieve more than they thought possible. 
While this job was rewarding, it wasn't my end goal. I started looking for more challenge and autonomy and revisited physical therapy. I had gone through my own PT in college after wrist surgery. While I admittedly wasn't the best patient, my PT was amazing and helped me regain the ability to play basketball. Once I started looking into it again, I knew this is where I wanted to be. I graduated from the University of Southern California, the highest rated PT school in the country, with my Doctor of Physical Therapy. When I graduated I did a sports residency at the University of Cincinnati where I worked with all varsity athletes, students, and faculty. I also traveled with the football and track & field teams. Since moving back to Dallas I have obtained advanced certification in dry needling and had the opportunity to further my skills in a busy outpatient clinic. I was able to see a wide range of patients from kids to older adults and had the opportunity to work with collegiate & professional athletes from several teams and several sports including the Dallas Cowboys and Dallas Mavericks. I left this setting because I grew tired of having to see multiple people at once and felt I was not able to give the best quality of care I was capable of. Now I can concentrate on only 1 patient at a time, you, to make sure you are getting the best care possible. Also, I currently work with SMU athletics helping to care for their student athletes. I have found my passion and I'm ready to help you continue to pursue yours.
When I'm not in the clinic I enjoy spending time with my 2 young girls, cooking, playing golf and volleyball, and generally staying active. For more on Matt be sure to check out https://www.hubbardfunctionalwellness.com/ and @dr.matt.hubbard.pt
