Matt Barney
(DPT • Clinic Director)
Matt Barney really enjoys being a Physical Therapist in his hometown! Having the opportunity to work in the town he grew up in has always been his dream. After completing degrees from Utah Valley University (Exercise Science) and from the University of Utah (Doctorate of Physical Therapy), Matt was able to make that dream become a reality.
With his wife, Kirsten, and their three children, Matt excitedly returned to Richfield to help care for the individuals that mean so much to him. Wanting to take an active role in the community, Matt is visible at the Richfield High School games and events. During Matt’s free-time he likes to spend time outdoors, exercising and making memories with his family.
Working as a clinical director in the Richfield area, Matt has the opportunity to practice therapy in an amazing facility. The state of the art clinic in Richfield allows Matt to offer the greatest care to his patients. In close collaboration with surgeons, doctors, and other medical professionals, Matt assists his patients in getting back into the game of life. “Our success involves staying up to date on the evidence-based interventions, communicating with providers, educating about home exercises, and performing the hands-on treatments our patients need. These efforts allow for progress and successful outcomes for our patients.”
Matt has had the opportunity to expand his skills as a therapist while working in Richfield. Along with being in the outpatient clinic, Matt also works with patients in home health and skilled nursing (rehab center) settings. This diversification in work allows Matt to care for numerous patients and advance his abilities as a therapist.
