About Matt

Matt Hodgens is a Physical Therapist born and raised in Atlanta, GA. He grew up in Dacula playing baseball with our own Andrew Kneeburg and for Mill Creek. He studied Sport & Exercise Science at the University of Alabama and got his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Georgia State University.

Matt fell in love with the gym and getting in shape for baseball which led to an interest in learning about the body and Physical Therapy. He is certified in Dry Needling and loves helping others transform themselves to develop confidence in their body and movement.

Matt’s favorite team is the University of Alabama which is fine with his wife Kaylee, the UGA grad, until their two teams play each other. They live in the Dacula area with their two dogs Layla and Logan. Matt is a big foodie and dreams of opening a food truck in his retirement.
