What “Qualified” Actually Looks Like
Every credential Dr. Matt holds has a direct clinical application to the patients he sees. These aren’t wall decorations — they’re the tools that make the difference between temporary relief and lasting resolution.
🏅
Full Body ART®
Active Release Techniques — Full Body Certified
The patented movement-based soft tissue system with over 500 specific protocols. Full Body certification covers every region from head to ankle — neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, spine, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. Most ART® providers hold partial certification (upper or lower only).
Only Full Body certified in West Austin
⛳
TPI Medical Level 2
Titleist Performance Institute — Advanced Clinical
Advanced clinical certification for diagnosing and treating physical limitations that cause golf injuries and swing faults. Connects tissue findings to swing mechanics — something a general sports medicine provider cannot do. Level 2 is the advanced clinical tier.
Only TPI Medical L2 in Lake Travis area
💪
TPI Fitness Level 2
Titleist Performance Institute — Advanced Programming
Advanced golf-specific fitness programming certification. Builds performance programs targeting the physical limitations identified in the TPI 16-point screen — power development, rotational mechanics, mobility, and stability periodized for golf. Most TPI-certified providers hold either Medical or Fitness, not both.
Only dual TPI M2 + F2 in West Austin
📐
SFMA
Selective Functional Movement Assessment
A comprehensive movement-based clinical assessment system that identifies the root cause of pain and dysfunction through a systematic top-down movement screen. Used at Kinetix as the diagnostic foundation for every new patient — before any treatment begins.

⚾
Former Collegiate Athlete
University of the Incarnate Word — 4-Year Letterman
Four-year letterman at UIW under coach Danny Heep. Played six positions. This firsthand athletic experience shapes the way Dr. Matt approaches patient care — he understands what it demands on the body to train, compete, and perform at a high level because he’s lived it.
The Story
Built From Experience, Not Just Education
Most providers get into healthcare because they’re interested in science. Dr. Matt got into it because he’s lived both sides of the treatment table — as a multi-sport athlete, a competitive cyclist, and a patient who understands what it means to have an injury stand between you and the activity you love.
Round Rock, TX
The Athletic Foundation
Born in Kingston, NY. Moved to Round Rock in 1996. Three-year letterman for the Round Rock Dragons, playing baseball at a competitive level that would eventually earn a collegiate playing opportunity.
University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio
Collegiate Baseball + Business Degree
Four-year letterman under coach Danny Heep. Played six of nine positions. Earned a Bachelor of Business Management with a minor in Information Systems — a combination that would later inform how he built and runs Kinetix.
Dallas Metroplex
Digital Marketing Career + Multi-Sport Competition
Professional career in digital marketing while continuing to compete — baseball leagues, running, duathlons, triathlons, and ultimately cycling at a USA Cycling Category 2 license level. This competitive multi-sport period gave Dr. Matt a direct understanding of overuse injury, recovery demands, and performance optimization that no classroom provides.
Parker University, Dallas
Doctor of Chiropractic — Clinical Excellence
Earned his DC degree while working clinically with professional athletes from the Dallas Renegades (XFL) and Dallas Wings (WNBA). Received the Clinical Excellence Award and Presidential Scholarship. The professional athlete exposure during clinical training shaped the precision, performance-forward approach that defines Kinetix today.
Lakeway, TX — 2023 to Present
Kinetix Sport + Spine — Built for West Austin
Returned to Central Texas and founded Kinetix inside CrossFit Lake Travis in Spicewood. Now lives in Lakeway with his wife Laura, daughters Teagan and Sloane, and their dog Izzy. Competitive golfer. Youth soccer coach. Still very much an athlete — which is exactly the point.

Clinical Philosophy
Body First. Swing Second. Performance Always.
Every treatment decision at Kinetix starts with a simple question: what is the body actually doing, and what’s preventing it from doing its job? The answer to that question — not the diagnosis label — determines the treatment.
Root Cause, Not Pain Site
Your low back isn’t the problem — your thoracic rotation is. Your elbow isn’t the problem — your grip mechanics and tissue adhesions are. Treating the pain site without identifying the cause produces temporary relief at best.
Everyone Is an Athlete
You don’t need to compete to deserve precision care. Everyone uses their body to perform — whether that’s 18 holes, a CrossFit workout, a full day at a keyboard, or keeping up with your kids. The approach is the same: find what’s limiting you and fix it.
Performance Is the Standard
Pain-free isn’t the finish line — it’s the starting point. The goal is to restore full capacity and build the physical foundation that keeps you performing at the level your life demands, without the body becoming the obstacle.
“I got into this because I’ve been on both sides of the table. I know what it’s like to have an injury standing between you and the sport you love, and I know what it feels like when someone finally figures out what’s actually wrong. That’s what we do here — figure out what’s actually wrong, fix it precisely, and build something that lasts.”

Who We Work With
You Don’t Have to Be a Pro to Deserve Pro-Level Care
Dr. Matt’s patient base spans every level of athlete and every stage of life. The credentials and techniques are the same for every patient — what changes is how they’re applied.
⛳
Golfers
From Spanish Oaks and The Hills to Falconhead and Horseshoe Bay — golfers seeking TPI-certified assessment, swing fault correction, and injury treatment that a general provider can’t offer.
🏋️
CrossFit & Strength Athletes
Overhead injuries, hip restrictions, elbow tendinopathy, and movement limitations that cap performance. Dr. Matt trains at CrossFit Lake Travis himself — he speaks the language.
🏃
Runners & Endurance Athletes
IT band, plantar fasciitis, hip and knee overuse — conditions that respond specifically to ART® treatment and biomechanical correction, not just stretching and rest.
⚾
Throwing Sport Athletes
Baseball, softball, and overhead sport athletes at every age. Dr. Matt’s background as a collegiate pitcher gives him firsthand knowledge of throwing mechanics and arm care that most providers simply don’t have.
💼
Desk Workers & Professionals
Chronic neck pain, carpal tunnel, upper back tension, and hip restrictions from prolonged sitting. Your workplace is your sport — and it deserves the same precision treatment.
👨👩👧
Parents & Active Adults
You use your body every day — you just don’t call it sport. Whether it’s chasing kids, weekend hikes, or just moving without pain slowing you down, precision care is for you too.
🎯
Golfers
Young athletes in baseball, soccer, golf, and multi-sport development. Early movement quality and injury prevention builds the foundation for long athletic careers. Dr. Matt coaches youth soccer — this matters personally.
🔄
Golfers
You finished PT but you’re not back to 100%. The bridge between rehabilitation and performance — rebuilding tissue capacity, restoring mechanics, and getting back to full function — is exactly what Kinetix does best.
Patient Outcomes
What Patients Say About Dr. Matt
★★★★★
“
Dr. Matt has truly changed my life. As a competitive athlete and owner of CrossFit Lake Travis, I’ve struggled with chronic tightness and shoulder pain for years. He is the only person who has ever been able to relieve that pain — something countless others haven’t been able to do. Because of my own experience, I’ve referred many of our athletes to him, and I don’t take that lightly.

“
After 3 sessions, the pain was gone. I was shocked. He worked on areas of my leg and hips that I had no clue were even connected to my hamstring. He did a combination of things that I have never experienced before. I would recommend Dr. Centofonti a thousand times over to everyone.

I’ve been to a number of chiropractors throughout my journey with sports and recreation. This is different. Matt really cares and invests time and his expertise into getting you back to your goal — whether it’s training or daily living, pain free.
