Matt Stark

I am a Physical Therapist in California working in an outpatient orthopedic setting with a focus on manual therapy.  My goal as a Physical Therapist is to empower people to take control of their health & fitness status and to live fun and productive lives.  I work in Oakland and live in San Francisco.

I have always been passionate about writing and self expression and Hubpages provides me the platform to share my expertise, opinion, and interests.  I hope my hubs are useful and people can learn something new from each hub I produce.

I am currently in a 9 month Mentorship program through Kaiser Hayward where I will continue masetery of Physical Therapy techniques and practice standards.  Starting next summer I will begin a 12 month Fellowship, furthering my Physical Therapy expertise.

In my free time I enjoy running, snowboarding, and lifting weights at the gym.  I started spinning recently and find it pretty enjoyable too.

I love craft beer (in moderation) with IPA being my go to beer.  I also love music, playing the drums, coffee, farmers markets, and riding my bike through San Francisco.
