Dr. Matthew Riordan has many years of experience in the field of physical therapy and has an exceptional ability to correctly diagnose and expertly treat the root cause of your bodily pain. Over the past several years, me and my family have been treated by Matthew for issues of moderate severity and each time we have come out fully cured. His deep knowledge coupled with his corrective course of therapy helped us heal well. He is also a courteous, thorough and hands on therapist who, with his witty and diligent treatment, helps you to smoothly glide thru the required course of therapy. In the end, you feel touched by an angel who has put you back together with his magic wand. I highly recommend Matthew as one of the best of the best physical therapists around.

Highly Recommend!
From my very first phone call with Marie, I knew I was in good hands. She was incredibly personable and took the time to explain how everything worked. Marie even went above and beyond by looking up my healthcare benefits and explaining exactly how my costs would be calculated. It was such a relief to have everything laid out clearly from the start.
Matthew, the owner, is clearly passionate about helping his clients. His goal is not just to get you back to where you were, but to push you even further along. Every session felt personalized to me and my specific needs. Even when a new issue came up unexpectedly, he adapted the sessions seamlessly.
If you’re looking for a place that truly listens to you, offers tailored therapy, and has a front office team that goes above and beyond to find a schedule that works for you, I highly recommend Better with Physical Therapy inside the Madison YMCA.

They have always been accurate with their assessment and spot on with the PT plan for recovery. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top notch PT group. They are not a pushy chain establishment where you feel like you are just another patient - this team genuinely cares about your success! I wouldn't want to bring my family anywhere else.

Everyone at Better with PT is so nice and welcoming. I went there several months ago with severe back pain. Marie went above and beyond to squeeze me in the same day I called. I primarily worked with Jaime, but on days where I worked with a different therapist, he still checked in with me and it was a collaborative effort amongst the team to figure out the best treatment plan for me. They give you their undivided attention and truly care about the well being of their patients. Even now, several months later, he still checks in with me to see how my back is doing. Thank you to everyone and especially Jaime!

I want to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible team at Better with PT. From the first day I walked in, I felt welcomed and truly cared for. The entire staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and supported throughout my recovery process. Special shout out to Jesse for handling the majority of my sessions and Marie for explaining the importance of receiving treatment to my insurance company in order for me to continue therapy.
What sets them apart is their personalized approach to treatment. They took the time to listen to my concerns, understand my unique situation, and tailor a plan that was just right for me. Every session was not just about going through the motions; it was about genuine care and progress.
Thank you for your patience, kindness, and expertise. Your encouragement made a world of difference, helping me stay motivated even on the tough days. I am so grateful for the time, dedication, and compassion you all put into my care. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to help me on my journey to recovery.

The caring PTs at Better with PT recently helped me through a severe hamstring injury. I found their one-on-one attention a superior approach to recovery.

Hi Matthew - just wanted to send you a quick note to say how great your team has been with my PT experience. I came in several months ago after reading your article on shoulder pain in the Chatham Living magazine and you came right over to talk to me about potential PT. From that point, your front desk team (Marie and Krista) have been very helpful in explaining how your program works as well as scheduling (and rescheduling!!) appointments. I was set up with Will as my PT and he was great!! His attention to my pain and being patient explaining the physiology of how the shoulder works and why the different exercises/stretching works was extremely helpful, including doing and explaining the dry needling which I've never heard of. Pain level is basically gone and mobility has greatly improved - back to doing things I couldn’t do in the past.! I had my last appointment with Will this past Monday but plan to continue with the stretches/exercises.
All the best to you and your team for much success in the future! I will recommend Better with PT if anyone asks!

I had a wonderful experience with Will at Better with Physical Therapy. I walked in with a 10/10 pain level and came out feeling significantly better that very day. As Will the PT predicted, the following day I felt even better and I couldn’t believe the level of improvement in a short time. I was sent home with “homework” to keep on my road to recovery and 2 separate people from the practice followed up on me to check on how I was doing. I felt the staff was not just kind and attentive but very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this PT to anyone looking to correct anything form a pinched nerve to post op exercises.

I start PT here recently and have had nothing but good things to say about this operation. I had several PT experiences over the years but this has been the best for a couple of reasons. First, it’s one on one the whole time - no assistants running you through the exercises. My PT, MIriam, get’s to the root of the problem. She is smart and has a great attitude. Always cheerful. Lastly, the folks that work the desk, particularly Marie, are efficient and helpful. They greet you when you arrive and try there best to get you an appointment and navigate the (insurance) coverage issues - whatever they may be. I’ve had a very positive experience and would highly recommend this group.

Hands down the very best Physical Therapy I have ever received. Miriam, Zack, and the entire team at Better with PT has had my back through a very long and complicated injury/postoperative recovery. They have been patient with me and guided me through a series of recovery related aches and pains, set backs and leaps forward. Miriam and Zack have helped me heal both physically and emotionally. Their approach has focused on functional movement as I’ve had to relearn how to do some very basic movements I used to take for granted all with my number one goal in mind: Getting me back on my feet as an active mom. I am looking forward to seeing how I continue to improve in the next phase of my recovery thanks to the team at Better with PT! Thank you!

I’m a 50+ year-old, fairly fit dog mom who wrecked her back lifting something heavy. I was incapacitated for over a week and thought my dog-walking and strength-training days were over. I saw an orthopedist who prescribed physical therapy, and I can’t say enough about Will Hylton and his calm, confident approach. You need a physical therapist who understands the injury and can prescribe the right exercises to rebuild strength. Six weeks later, I’m not afraid to do deadlifts or walk my dog, and I’m out of pain. Sure, there’s still some stiffness, but that comes with the degenerative changes of middle age. Thanks, Will, for making me feel human again!

I highly recommend Better with Physical Therapy! I did about 10 sessions with them for recurring knee and ankle pain after i sprained my ankle 3 years ago. I went in feeling depressed about my leg as if I do anything active, my knee or ankle would hurt as it had been for the past 3 years and I had almost given up. I'd already been to a different PT place that didn't help much and I saw good reviews here so decided to give it a try. After only a couple months working with Will and Jamie, I am happy to say I have my leg back! I can do any exercise I want and I have a much better understanding of what is happening in my body in case of any soreness. I feel like they monumentally improved my life and Physical health.

I would give Better with Physical Therapy (BPT) ten stars if I could. The professionalism of the therapists and quality of care I experienced at this facility were extraordinary. Having been highly active all my life (runner, cyclist, hiker), I have had several “go-rounds” with physical therapy. Better with Physical Therapy truly sets itself apart with its highly trained, knowledgeable and compassionate staff, and commitment to personalized, one-on-one care.
I was recently treated at BPT for a sports related injury, a severe fracture of my femur. I had an exceptional experience working with Dr. Will Hylton. Will demonstrated an extensive understanding of my fracture/surgery and the limitations I was experiencing. He was highly attentive to my concerns and regularly sought my feedback. As I regained functionality and strength, our weekly therapy sessions evolved, which not only kept me highly motivated and challenged, but also promoted a remarkable recovery. While I had a much more limited opportunity to work with Dr. Jamie Ferreira, he too impressed me, as did BPT’s outstanding administrative staff.
In sum, I believe Better with Physical Therapy is truly unique in its professionalism and approach. Should I need physical therapy in the future, I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.

Better with PT lives up to its name! Having had previous outstanding personal PT experience with Drs, Michelle and Miriam at Better with PT in Madison NJ, this office was my first call when my 12 year old was prescribed physical therapy. From the initial call, to insurance benefit explanations, to the appointment with Dr. Jesse Garn; we were impressed every step of the way. Dr. Jesse was kind, knowledgeable and seemed truly invested in the care and well being of my son (including a personal follow up after the appointment). My son was a bit nervous going in but Dr. Jesse immediately put him (and I) at ease.
If you need PT, Better with PT is hands down the best place to go with fantastic doctors, easy communication, tons of parking and a spotless office! Kudos Better with PT and thank you for taking such good care of my kid! We are truly grateful and he has learned some tools and exercises to carry with him throughout his sports playing to prevent a recurring injury.

I attended Better with Physical Therapy earlier this year to deal with recurring, intense neck pain. I had an excellent experience working with Jesse. He was very knowledgeable, did an extensive assessment to understand symptoms and possible causes to my issue, and created an individualized rehab plan that was very effective in resolving the issue. He answered all of my questions, followed up on prior feedback I gave weeks earlier, and was an overall phenomenal PT. I was fortunate to work with him. The staff at Better with PT was friendly and responsive. Also, I never felt that I was being strung along for unnecessary sessions or procedures, products etc. - this was straightforward physical therapy to resolve my issue and then I was on my way, knowing that I had a great resource if the issue ever returned.
I am grateful to get relief to a long term issue and highly recommend Better with PT and Jesse in particular.

I am happy to report that I’ve had full resolution of both problems. I am currently working with Zac, one of the PT associates, for stretching to maintain the gains I’ve made.

The theraphists at Better With Physical Theraphy are well trained and receive ongoing professional theraphy training to keep current.
I carry all stress in my neck which had been building to a spasm last Fall. After researching potential theraphists I presented the stiffest of necks in early April. I was pleased to learn of deep needle theraphy as an effective tool to lessen my pain.
Suffice to say that after approximately 4 dry needle treatments out of 6 sessions i am feeling more flexible, less stiffening pain and better rest. Dry needle coupled with theraputic massage and exercise has .given me good
relief.
Highly recommend.

Better with Physical Therapy is an amazing place with friendly, knowledgeable therapists who listen carefully and drill right down to the source of the problem. My husband has raved about the practice for several years now, so when I developed a knee injury, there was no question as to where I would go for help.The owner, Matt Riordan, has built a wonderful staff of caring professionals who are a credit to the practice. My therapists, Will and Zach, analyzed my injury, created exercise protocols, and by the end of my sessions there I was much improved. Best of all, everyone there (including the office staff) is welcoming, friendly, and they all have a great sense of humor (a necessary quality in my opinion)! They taught me about my injury, helped remediate the problem in the office and empowered me to continue my recovery with home exercises. I highly recommend Better with Physical Therapy and plan to return in the future if need be.

I cannot speak highly enough about Michelle as a physical therapist. I have been treated by Michelle over the years for various issues with my knee, my shoulder and my recovery from surgery for a ruptured hamstring.
One of Michelle’s standout qualities is her exceptional ability to listen attentively. She takes the time to understand my concerns, goals, and limitations, which fosters a sense of trust and collaboration in the healing process.
Moreover, Michelle’s proficiency in dry needling has been instrumental in my recovery and healing. Her skillful application of this technique has provided me with significant relief and progress that I hadn’t experienced with other treatments.
Her compassionate approach, combined with her extensive knowledge and innovative techniques, sets her apart as the best in her field.
Marie is also an absolute pleasure to work with when setting up appointments and answering any questions.
Excellent place to get PT.

I am happy to recommend Better with Physical Therapy. Have been working with Miriam for knee issues and have seen tremendous improvement. We are working on strengthening exercises and core work that was impacting both my knees and back. Miriam always encourages me, and has checked in between appointments to see how I’m feeling. The entire staff is efficient and friendly. Great experience.

I just finished up a round of Physical Therapy at Better with Physical Therapy. I worked with Jesse who was a great listener and quickly drilled down to the problem. He was also aware of past problems and geared my exercises so that while helping one problem he didn't aggravate another. He created a home program for me to hopefully avoid problems in the future. Jesse is very personable and made the hour enjoyable and past quickly. The office staff is also very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I hope it is not anytime soon but I would absolutely be a return patient.

Michelle, Will and Zak all treated me. They have been able to get me back to my regular activities without surgery, which is great.
But even better than that, they identified places where I was tight, weak and had bad movement patterns, and gave me exercises specifically to address these weakness and taught me how to do them to make sure I was getting the full benefit of the exercises.
The result is that not only is my knee better, but I'm moving and feeling even better with all of my day-to-day activities than I did before seeing them. Even little things that you never really think about, like bending down to get something out of the back of a lower shelf in the refrigerator or something like that, feel much better to do.
I'm almost glad I hurt my knee! That's how much better I feel.

I used to be cynical when it came to physical therapy. Maybe that’s still warranted with some practices, I don’t know. But Better With PT is a fantastic group of very professional individuals. Miriam has me on the mend when others couldn’t. Along the way, through a series of visits I’ve learned better how my shoulder works, how to get function of my rotator cuff back and how to keep it working better than ever. Through it all she was just a pleasure to see and speak with! Five stars for sure!

This is one of the best PT groups in NJ! You'll leave your appointment knowing how to move better and even self correct habits that were causing your pain. As a personal trainer, I use this group, my family members and many of my own clients. When you visit the office, you will immediately get a good vibe. Each therapist has a different style, but all share a focus to give undivided attention and education. It's obvious each doctor genuinely cares about seeing their patient get throughly assessed and given a treatment plan that is most effective.
I've even received follow up texts several months after completing my own therapy to see how I'm feeling. What group does that anymore?

What can I say about Better With Physical Therapy?
Everyone here is wonderful, from Marie running things from behind the front desk, to Matt, who I have seen over the years whenever I needed support through an injury, along with absolutely everyone else working here. There are several times over the years that I walked in with an injury, and after a few sessions and at-home exercises, I felt so much better.
There are a few elements that sets this practice apart.
1. Every appointment involves very personal, individualized care with one-on-one treatment from start to finish for a full hour. Whoever you work with takes time to listen to you, find out what your lifestyle is like, and understand what brought you in.
2. Here, there is a focus on treating the root cause of whatever is causing pain or injury, rather than just treating the pain or dysfunction that is showing up as a result of the root cause. This helps promote long term health and healing.
3. Here, Matt and the rest of the team give you at-home exercises and tips that help you continue to improve and heal yourself on your own, so that you are empowered to get better and stay better. I notice that anytime I have come in, everyone here is rooting for me to get better and stay well. Everyone here is excited and happy for me when we reach a point that I can handle things on my own with the exercises and tools I receive during my physical therapy sessions here.
If you are in need of physical therapy, or if you are curious about how physical therapy might help you with a little injury or an ache or pain you have been dealing with for awhile, RUN don't walk here as fast as you can. I recommend them to anyone!

Better With PT has never let me or my family down. Over the years I’ve seen many physical therapists and they are by far the best. They truly care about their patients and will do everything in their power to help their patients reach their goals. One thing I really like about Better With PT is that they will go the extra mile and do the little things that many PT offices may not do. For example, they continue communication beyond the time of you appointment. They ensure that you are taken care of even after leaving. Whenever I go to better with PT, I am confident that my concerns are being heard and treated. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. I cannot recommend this place enough!

We recently had a great experience with Better with Physical Therapy. Their staff is top notch and you receive personal, individual attention and care, unlike other physical therapy practices with cookie cutter approaches. Miriam is so kind, honest, and knowledgeable and empowers her clients by educating them about their injuries and the best course of treatment for them. Jaime is a well-educated PT and so personable and goal-directed. He is honest and practical with his recommendations and helps clients reach their goals and recover as quickly as possible. Jaime provided my son with personal, client-centered services in a fun manner too! He looked forward to his sessions with Jaime. If you're looking to meet your mobility goals with knowledgeable, professional staff, look no further than Better with PT!

The one on one attention my son received was above and beyond. They had the best resources in house and knowledge to help him get back up and running after he broke his foot. Most of all they really cared and showed patience when helping him get back to where he was prior to the injury.

After battling plantar fasciitis for months, having 3 cortisone shots in my foot (that didn’t alleviate the pain), I finally got relief after I went to Better with Physical Therapy. Miriam encouraged me to schedule some sessions with Will, who ended up being a great match for me. I walked out of there feeling as if I had a new foot! I was able to exercise again and not be in constant pain. The individualized care and personal atmosphere is something that is unique to Better with PT. I would recommend this to everyone!

Let me preface this review by saying that I'm old school and have done only one other Google review, so this truly is a 50th birthday gift to Matthew Riordan! Better with Physical Therapy is awesome! I can say that with confidence and knowledge since over the course of my six decades of life, I have worked with 4 different physical therapists (due to various injuries) before meeting Matthew. In this instance, I had been seeing another physical therapist (without improvement) so decided to make a change after reading Matthew's many well-written and witty articles in Chatham Living magazine. Both of my knees had been problematic post-surgery (torn meniscus in one and a fractured kneecap in the other) which inhibited my normally active lifestyle and ability to enjoy my rambunctious 5 and 3 year old grandsons. Long walks and car rides, trail hiking, gardening, and playing soccer and basketball with the boys were painful activities. It was impossible for me to kneel or squat down to pick something up. Getting up and down from the floor to play with my grandsons was a struggle, not to mention unsightly! Those struggles were playing with my head, and I was feeling depressed about aging and my inability to really enjoy my recent retirement. But, thanks to Matthew, I am happy to say that is over and I'm back to my normal activities and having a blast with my grandsons! With Matthew I received one-on-one care for a full hour on EVERY visit (unlike other practices where you're lucky if you get 15 minutes with the doctor). He applies his knowledge and experience in practical and useful methods and modalities. He formulated my treatment and exercise routine to include not only my knees but also the affected areas down my legs to my feet and up my legs to my glutes and lower back. To attain a better result or to laser focus on a particular muscle, Matthew nuanced traditional exercises by slightly changing a movement or position...so simple, but so effective...no other physical therapist had ever done that in my experience. One of my exercises utilized a soccer ball to improve my flexibility, balance and agility - I'm loving that when playing soccer with the kids. During my sessions I happened to mention to Matthew that I have suffered frequent headaches for a good part of my life, and he was on it in a NY minute! After lots of questions and probing, he added treatment and exercises for that issue. For the first time in my life, I no longer suffer from 3-day headaches and now know how to proactively ward them off or lessen the intensity. Not only a skilled doctor, Matthew is a great communicator, usually with a touch of humor. If you've read any of his articles in local magazines, you'll know what I mean. Wait until you meet him...Matthew is the whole enchilada! A big shout out to his always pleasant and very efficient office manager, Marie, for keeping the Medicare insurance billing and appointment schedule moving smoothly.
P.S. Better With Physical Therapy is very conveniently located inside the Madison YMCA.

Better With Physical Therapy has helped me through a couple of sports related injuries.
From the moment I stepped into Better with Physical Therapy, I knew I was in good hands. The staff here is not just professional, but incredibly friendly, making every visit a pleasant experience.
One aspect I particularly appreciate is their punctuality and flexibility. Appointments start right on time, which shows their respect for patients' schedules, and they work hard to find an appointment that works with your schedule. This level of organization and efficiency makes planning around therapy sessions much easier.
The quality of care is top-notch. The therapists are knowledgeable, attentive, and truly dedicated to their patients' wellbeing. They've played a crucial role in my recovery journey, offering personalized care that addresses my specific needs.
I highly recommend them to anyone in need of physical therapy. Their team is outstanding, the service is exceptional, and the results are real. I'm grateful for the excellent care I've received and am confident others will have the same great experience.

Remember when doctors cared about their patients and went the extra mile to ensure their health? Better With Physical Therapy is just that place! I have been a patient for many years. They provide 1 on 1 personal attention for the entire time you are there. Its not like other places where you are just a number and are given exercises at the first appointment and then you are on your own during follow up appointments. Better with Physical Therapy is truly concerned about your rehabilitation and lifelong wellness. The therapists are professional, compassionate and welcoming. They go above and beyond to ensure that you have the correct plan in place, providing thorough explanations of the exercises required. They work with you and guide you the entire time there.
I fell a week before my son's wedding and injured my knee. I needed treatment ASAP. Marie went the extra mile and worked with me to set up multiple appointments before the wedding so I could be in the best possible shape to enjoy that special day. Thanks to them, I was able to.
Matt and Michelle are the two therapists I have used. They are both amazing, as is every therapist there.

Everyone in the practice was also sweet and welcoming. I highly recommend Better With Physical Therapy.

I would highly recommend better with physical therapy! It is like no other PT place around and having an hour 1-1 with a highly skilled professional is amazing. I was always super into working out and after 2 kids, I kept getting injured. They helped me slowly progress and strengthen all the areas that were weak after having 2 kids close in age. They also helped relieve my pain especially in my back and neck from carrying a heavy 3 and 1 year old. I am back to doing high impact dance cardio and weight lifting and feel great. I go weekly for maintenence bc it helps that much! Instead of just getting a massage which definitely feels good but may not relieve pain long term, I would definitely try here. They do graston, dry needling, cupping, manual therapy and so much more.

I just finished working with Jaime and Michelle on my shoulder, which was injured due to a fall. I am so pleased with the treatment that I received. Jaime listened to my concerns and developed a comprehensive program lowering the inflammation, re-setting the shoulder blades, re-training the associated muscles, and finally strengthening the muscles of my shoulder. He explained everything and was very clear and methodical with his instructions. Michelle provided needling procedures on trigger points in my muscles. This provided immediate relief from pain.
This is the third time that I have used Better With Physical Therapy and I wouldn't go anywhere else for treatment. I frequently see Matt (the owner) at the Y, and he takes his free time to talk with me and share suggestions on my health.
They are the best!

Better with PT in Madison, NJ outshines all other physical therapy clinics in the area -- and unfortunately in my life, I've experienced many. Each session is 1:1 (vs. group sessions at other places I've been) and this personal attention really translated to a customized treatment plan, thorough explanations of my exercises during treatment, and understanding of what to do at home to maintain my strength and wellness once treatment ended. What took 20+ sessions to resolve at other places, I was able to achieve in just 8 here. Therapists Jaime Ferreira and Will Hylton were very skilled, compassionate and professional. I recommend Better with PT very highly and will never go anywhere else.
