Expert Physical Therapy in Rockville Centre, NY

Q: Do you accept insurance?

Both. The three-pillar framework at Trident covers injury rehabilitation, injury prevention, and performance training. Addressing the injury is the starting point, but building the physical capacity to handle the demands of golf long-term is the actual goal. Golfers who go through the full program typically notice improvements in how they feel and how they move on the course.

Q: What makes Trident different from other PT clinics?

Not at all. If you want to keep playing without constantly managing pain or missing rounds because of a flare-up, this is exactly what this program is designed for. You do not have to be a competitive golfer to benefit from care that is built around what golf actually demands from the body.

Q: Do I need a referral to get started?

Massage and stretching address symptoms. A comprehensive physical therapy program addresses the underlying issue: what in your movement, strength, or mechanics is creating the stress that keeps causing the problem. When we find that and build a program around it, the relief tends to last.

Q: What should I expect at my first appointment?

A full movement assessment, a review of your golf swing mechanics, and a detailed conversation about your history, your symptoms, and your goals. The TPI-M2 certification means the evaluation looks at both how your body moves and how that translates to your swing — something a generalist clinic cannot offer.

Q: Can I keep training while I'm in PT?

We are cash-based. We do not bill insurance directly. HSA and FSA are accepted. Upon request, we can provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement, though we cannot make guarantees about what your specific plan will cover.

One-on-one care for runners, golfers, and active adults ready to stop managing pain and get back to training. Every session with your doctor of PT — no techs, no handoffs, no generic protocols. Rated 5.0 stars across 226 Google reviews.

Traditional PT Wasn't Built for Athletes Like You

You're Shared, Not Seen

In most clinics, you're bounced between techs and rotating therapists. You rarely get the hands-on time you need — and your progress shows it.

"Just Rest" Isn't a Plan

Being told to stop running, stop training, and wait it out doesn't fix the problem. It just postpones it — and costs you weeks of progress you can't get back.

Generic Programs Don't Fit Your Goals

A cookie-cutter protocol designed for the average patient won't get a runner back to race pace or a golfer back on the course pain-free. Your sport demands more.

Dr. Matt is extremely knowledgeable, he listened to my concerns regarding my knee pain and was able to provide information to help me better understand what the root cause of my discomfort. I appreciated the ease of the app he uses to communicate and gives overview of what we did during our session to help me continue to strengthen my knees. I would highly recommend Dr. Matt, the location has parking making it extremely convenient as well.

Jessica Hayes

Matt is a great therapist, knowledgeable and hands on the entire time. I prefer working 1 on 1 with a therapist and that is exactly what you get at trident physical therapy.

Thomas McFeely

Trident PT is a great place to come for any injury! I am being treated by Matt for my shoulder and my knee, each time it is a new progression, and I’m feeling stronger each day. Matt does a great job of listening to what you are struggling with and helping break down movements/ exercises so you understand them and feel comfortable doing them on your own at home/gym. I really recommend coming to see Matt if you are having any pain, he will be able to push you in the right direction!

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before your first visit to Trident Physical Therapy in Rockville Centre.

Do you accept insurance?

Trident Physical Therapy is a cash-based practice. We do not bill insurance directly, which allows us to give you the time and quality of care you deserve — without the compromises that come with high-volume insurance models. We accept HSA and FSA cards, and we provide superbills so you can submit for potential out-of-network reimbursement from your insurer.

What makes Trident different from other PT clinics?

Every session is one-on-one with your Doctor of Physical Therapy — no aides, no techs, no shared appointments. Your program is built specifically for your body, your sport, and your goals. We also integrate strength & conditioning and sport-specific coaching (running, golf) into our approach in ways most traditional clinics simply don't offer.

Do I need a referral to get started?

No referral is required to begin physical therapy in New York. You can contact us directly to schedule your initial evaluation and we'll take it from there.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first visit is a thorough, one-on-one evaluation with your PT. We take the time to understand your full history, assess movement patterns, identify the root cause of your pain or limitation, and begin building a plan tailored to your goals — whether that's returning to running, recovering from surgery, or getting back on the golf course.

Can I keep training while I'm in PT?

In most cases, yes. Our philosophy is to keep you moving and training as much as safely possible. We design programs around your training schedule — not around telling you to stop. We believe rest alone is rarely the answer.
