Without the help of Registered Massage Therapists, he would not have been able to return to his sport as quickly as he did.
Matts active lifestyle started at the age of 3, when he started in swimming lessons. He then joined the local competitive swim team aged 5 and at the age of 11 he was approached to swim for the Great Britain Development Squad. Matt moved to Canada from England in 2010, where he continued competitive swimming with Oakville Aquatics and York University.
