Matt Capo

PT, President

Matt Capo is the President/Owner of Accelerated Physical Therapy and established the framework for the commitment to patient care that are the clinics' hallmarks. Matt graduated from Iowa State University in 1985 with a B.A. in Speech Communication and entered the workforce in Chicago as a corporate pension plan representative. He suffered an injury while playing rugby football and discovered his calling to be a therapist while he was rehabilitating.

Pursuing his new profession, he earned his degree in physical therapy from the University of South Alabama in 1995. Matt sharpened his skills by treating clients in the outpatient setting for the next five years before opening Accelerated Physical Therapy in April 2000. During his years of practice he has been voracious in his attendance of continuing education courses with primary emphasis on back and neck dysfunctions, manual therapy and medical exercise treatment techniques.

Matt is a native of North Versailles, Pennsylvania (just outside of Pittsburgh) and he is married to Diane, a native of Waveland, MS, and they have four children. He has lived in Hancock County since 1997 and has been a resident of Diamondhead since 2000. Matt is a keen fan of rugby football, having played for a National Championship team as well as touring the US and Europe with various select side clubs. He is an avid fisherman, stalking coastal species and at night you will often find him knee-deep in the Gulf "gigging" flounder.
