How Are We Different?

There’s a lot of gyms out there, with great facilities and skilled trainers. But for some people, you need more than a gym. You need access to trained specialists that will work with you on very specific physical goals or to help you overcome certain barriers. We were founded by physical therapists to work with clients on an individualized basis, so that means while we still have top facilities and regular trainers, we also specialize in rehabilitation from injury in sports or after illness. We’re also the recovery experts, so whether you are a professional athlete or a community member just wanting the best fitness and care, you won’t be able to find it anywhere else.

  • Founded in collaboration with the NFL’s Chris Hogan and some very forward-thinking physical therapists
  • Regularly caters to elite and professional athletes

review us on
I began my PT journey at Evolution due to neck and arm pain from a herniated disc. I started working with Matt who took the time to listen to my concerns, assess my condition, and create a personalized treatment plan. Due to my limited range of motion, he recommended that I see a shoulder specialist. From there, Matt tailored my sessions to address frozen shoulder as well. I have been working with Matt for about two months and have noticeable improvement in my mobility and significant pain reduction! I recommend Matt to anyone who needs PT- he is encouraging, positive and so knowledgeable!
Matt is a great physical therapist detailed oriented , caring and attentive to all of your needs. The best one I have ever worked with.
Was reluctant to do physical therapy after a minor leg injury but my trainer from Evolution (Matt Messner) was so helpful, patient and effective that now I'm considering sticking around and working with him as a personal trainer to improve my general health. Can't say enough good things!
Great experience here. Came here for a thumb sprain. My hand is feeling much better. Matt was great and very knowledgeable. He provided some progressive overload, something that a lot of therapy places don’t do very well
This place is great . First time patient but cant wait to see what they do with the place.
Outstanding physical therapy facility! Much better than any chain place! I was very very pleased with my experience and results I had received at this place. I've noticed that at chain PT places, they tend to set you up on an exercise and they walk away. They don't do that at Evolution. The physical therapist, Matt, is very knowledgeable and good at what he does. He works with you, he communicates with you, and looks out for the well being of his patients. I HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who needs physical therapy!Thank you again, Evolution!
I recently completed my physical therapy sessions with Matt and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Matt took the time to thoroughly assess my condition and tailor a treatment plan specifically for me. He always explained each exercise and its purpose, which helped me understand my recovery process better. I noticed a significant improvement in my mobility and pain levels. Matt also provided valuable advice on maintaining my progress at home, which I found very helpful. Overall, I would highly recommend!
Awesome facility, awesome staff, awesome experience. On the PT side, Matt is super knowledgeable and does a great job of balancing treatment & strength-training while pushing you in a safe & strategic way to help work you back to 100% and beyond. Never knew this place existed but couldn’t be happier with the experience here and would definitely recommend to anyone in need of PT or private training.
Matt has been terrific with my 12-year-old son. He went to Evolution and worked with Matt to help strengthen and stabilize his knee due to pain from growth plate issues and overuse. He took the time to explain everything to me and my son and gave us a plan that he can continue to work on at home now that he "graduated." He let us know that if we have any questions the line of communication is opened even though we are not going there for PT.
Evolution Physical Therapy really helped me bounce back from my injuries. The staff is awesome—they know exactly what they're doing and always made sure I felt comfortable and supported. The exercises and treatments they gave me were spot on, and I could feel myself getting stronger each week. They really cared about my progress, and thanks to them, I'm back to doing the things I love.
