Matthew Rice received his Master’s degree in Physiotherapy from Queen’s University in 2014 and has worked as a Physiotherapist at Perth Physiotherapy since day one. Prior to Queen’s, Matt completed a BA in Kinesiology from Wilfrid Laurier University.
Participating in several sports both as a coach and athlete since his early teens, Matt has experienced first-hand the benefits of both rehabilitation and pre-habilitation exercise. He believes in a holistic approach to treatment; recovery is more than just treating the site of pain – it’s a treatment of the whole system. Using techniques such as Acupuncture, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), and Neuro Kinetic Therapy (III) alongside exercise prescription, Matt enjoys helping clients of all ages and abilities return to their full potential with confidence.
When not in the clinic, Matt enjoys spending time with his wife and young family, weightlifting, walking/running with his Shelties, completing projects and enjoying the privacy of his rural property.
From a young age, Cooper Rice witnessed the impact of sports injuries and other unexpected injuries on close friends and family members. These experiences ignited a desire to better understand the human body's resilience and capacity for healing.
Cooper completed his Bachelors of Human Kinetics at the University of Ottawa, Summa Cum Laude, and went on to complete his Masters of Physiotherapy at Queen’s University in 2022. Prior to his university pursuits, Cooper obtained a Diploma in Heritage Carpentry and Joinery at the Algonquin College Perth Campus.
Cooper employs a holistic approach that integrates neural control of human movement, pain science, and graded exercise programming. Cooper wholeheartedly believes in guiding and assisting others to help themselves find their own strengths and solutions to support long-term behaviour change, with lasting benefits for physical, mental, and social health.
Beyond his clinic interests in physical activity and rehabilitation, Cooper finds joy in music, cooking, and gardening. Most of all, Cooper loves spending time in the great outdoors with his wife and border collie.
