Not Every Chiropractor Who Treats Athletes Is a Sports-Based Chiropractor
There’s a meaningful difference between a general chiropractor who accepts athletes as patients and a sports-specific practice built around athletic movement, performance demands, and sport-specific injury patterns. That difference shows up immediately — in the depth of the assessment, the precision of the soft tissue work, and whether the treatment plan accounts for your sport, your position, and your training schedule.
Bee Cave and the Lake Travis area has several chiropractic options. Most offer spinal adjustments, some add massage or decompression, and all accept athletes. What sets Kinetix apart is the clinical framework — SFMA movement assessment that traces injuries to their kinetic chain source, Full Body ART that addresses tissue restrictions at every anatomical level, and a corrective exercise program delivered via app that keeps you progressing between sessions.
Dr. Matt is a former collegiate baseball player who has competed in multi-sport athletics throughout his career. He doesn’t just understand sport conceptually — he’s trained and competed at a level that informs how he treats athletes every day.

Built for Every Athlete in the Bee Cave & Lake Travis Area
The Bee Cave and Lake Travis community is one of the most athletically active in Central Texas. These are the sports and training demands we treat most often.
Golfers
TPI Medical + Fitness Level 2 dual certified — the only such provider in Lake Travis. Low back pain, golfer’s elbow, lead shoulder restriction, and hip mobility training all treated and programmed under one roof.
CrossFit & Weightlifters
Kinetix is located inside CrossFit Lake Travis. Dr. Matt trains in this environment — he understands the demands of Olympic lifting, gymnastics movements, and high-intensity conditioning on the body.
Runners & Triathletes
IT band, runner’s knee, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinopathy treated at the kinetic chain source — not just the pain location. Load management guidance keeps you training during treatment.
Baseball & Softball
Dr. Matt is a former collegiate baseball player. Throwing mechanics, deceleration patterns, rotator cuff care, and Little Leaguer’s elbow — treated with an understanding of what the sport actually demands.
Soccer Players
Hip flexor tightness, groin strains, IT band stress, and ankle instability from the repetitive change-of-direction demands of soccer — assessed and treated with sport-specific loading protocols.
Tennis & Pickleball
Lateral epicondylalgia, shoulder impingement, and low back rotation injuries from racquet sport mechanics — treated at the swing fault origin rather than the tissue symptom location.
Cyclists
Bike fitting-related low back pain, knee tracking issues, and hip flexor overload — treated in context of your riding position and training volume, not generic protocols.
Swimmers
Swimmer’s shoulder, posterior capsule adhesions, and thoracic mobility restrictions from high-volume stroke mechanics — addressed with the full-range ART protocols the shoulder requires.
What Athletes Actually Need From a Chiropractor — and Why It’s Different
Athletes have different care requirements than the general population. Here’s what Kinetix provides that standard chiropractic doesn’t.
Keep Training During Treatment
Rest is the wrong prescription for most athletic injuries. Athletes need load modification guidance — exactly what to continue, what to reduce, and what to avoid — so recovery and training happen simultaneously.
Sport-Specific Assessment
A golfer’s low back and a runner’s low back have different causes. An overhead thrower’s shoulder and a swimmer’s shoulder require different treatment protocols. Generic assessment produces generic results.
Tissue Quality Work — Not Just Adjustments
Full Body ART addresses the specific muscles, tendons, and fascia involved in your sport’s demands. Spinal manipulation alone doesn’t address the soft tissue restrictions that drive most athletic overuse injuries.
Progressive Loading Back to Sport
Pain resolution is not return to sport. Athletes need a graduated loading plan with performance milestones — not just “come back when it stops hurting.”
A Provider Who Understands Athletic Context
Treatment decisions that make clinical sense but ignore your training schedule, competition calendar, or sport’s demands are not athlete-appropriate care. Dr. Matt builds plans around your sport and your timeline.
Honest Performance Ceiling Assessment
Many athletes have physical limitations they don’t know are limiting their performance. The SFMA identifies those gaps — and the corrective exercise program closes them progressively over time.
The Kinetix Method for Athlete Care
Assessment-first. Sport-specific. Progressive. Built to keep you training.
SFMA Movement Screen
Systematic full-body assessment to identify root causes in the kinetic chain — not just treat the painful structure in isolation.
Full Body ART
Precision soft tissue release targeting the specific muscles, tendons, and fascia identified in the screen — not a general massage or foam rolling protocol.
Joint Treatment
Chiropractic manipulation or mobilization at restricted segments — informed by the screen, not applied generically to the same spinal levels every visit.
Corrective Exercise
Progressive sport-specific loading sent via app with video tutorials — building the movement quality and tissue capacity your sport demands.
Training Modification Plan
Specific guidance on what to train, at what intensity, and what to avoid — so you keep fitness while the underlying issue resolves.
Return-to-Sport Protocol
Clear performance milestones for returning to full training and competition — not a pain-based clearance that ignores movement quality.
A Sports-Based Chiropractor Who Is an Athlete
Dr. Matt Centofonti didn’t come to sports-based chiropractic through a textbook — he came through years of competing. As a former collegiate baseball player and lifelong multi-sport athlete, he understands what it means to manage training load, push through competition, and make smart decisions about the body under the pressure of a season.
That background shapes every clinical decision at Kinetix. When Dr. Matt tells you to keep training or modify load, it comes from an athlete’s understanding of what that actually means for your performance — not just a conservative clinical default to rest.
Kinetix is located inside CrossFit Lake Travis — not in a strip mall medical suite. The environment is intentional. It signals what kind of practice this is and who it’s built for.

Chiropractor for Athletes — Common Questions
What makes a chiropractor truly sports-focused?
A truly sports-focused chiropractor combines sport-specific assessment methodology, precision soft tissue therapy, and athlete-appropriate load management — not just general chiropractic applied to an athlete. At Kinetix, Dr. Matt uses the Selective Functional Movement Assessment to identify root causes in the kinetic chain, Full Body Active Release Techniques for tissue-specific treatment, and builds return-to-sport protocols around your specific activity demands. He’s also a former collegiate baseball player and active multi-sport athlete himself.
Where is the best chiropractor for athletes near Bee Cave TX?
Kinetix Sport + Spine in Spicewood, TX is the most credentialed sports chiropractic option near Bee Cave — Full Body ART certified, dual TPI Level 2 Medical and Fitness, and located inside CrossFit Lake Travis approximately 20–25 minutes from Bee Cave via Highway 71. Dr. Matt Centofonti is a former collegiate athlete who builds treatment plans around sport-specific demands. Same-week appointments available at 512-730-0284 or kinetixatx.janeapp.com.
Can I keep training while seeing a sports-based chiropractor?
In most cases yes — and it’s preferred. Complete rest is rarely the right answer for athletic injuries. Dr. Matt provides specific training modification guidance at every visit: what to continue, what to reduce, and what to avoid while the underlying issue is corrected. Staying active within appropriate parameters maintains fitness, supports tissue healing, and reinforces corrective movement patterns between sessions.
How is Kinetix different from other chiropractors near Bee Cave?
The clinical differentiation comes from three things: the assessment framework (SFMA systematic movement assessment that identifies root causes in the kinetic chain), the soft tissue tool (Full Body ART certification — the most comprehensive level of Active Release Techniques training available, and the only such provider in Lake Travis), and the provider background (Dr. Matt is a former collegiate baseball player and competitive golfer who builds treatment plans around athletic performance, not pain management). The clinic is also located inside CrossFit Lake Travis — a performance environment designed for athletes, not a medical suite.
What sports injuries does Kinetix treat?
Kinetix treats a full range of sports injuries across golf, CrossFit, running, baseball, soccer, tennis, pickleball, swimming, and cycling — as well as general athletic overuse conditions including IT band syndrome, rotator cuff tendinopathy, plantar fasciitis, golfer’s elbow, hip flexor strains, and low back pain. Every injury is assessed through the SFMA kinetic chain framework regardless of sport, so treatment targets the source rather than the symptom location.
