Why bell plaza pt?
Tom Matassa is one of the most creative, innovative and dedicated physical therapists you’ll ever meet. Just ask his patients or any of the scores of orthopedists, cardiologists, neurologists and other specialists who have been referring their patients to us for decades. Your therapy will begin with a thorough evaluation during which Tom will explain your condition. You’ll understand exactly what has changed in your body and how we’ll work together to bring you back to the fullest possible recovery.
Together we’ll discuss your goals, your preferences, your tolerance for pain and any other aspect of your life that might impact your recovery. And you’ll be doing it all in a pleasant, genial atmosphere surrounded by professionals and patients sharing success, engaging conversation and supporting each other, because we believe therapy is most successful when the patient enjoys it.
You won’t get the “textbook” exercise solution from us. You’ll get a solution designed to work for THE WAY YOU live and the life you want to lead.
PT can sometimes be uncomfortable, but it doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. At Bell Plaza, we’re serious, but we’re social.
We won't let the paperwork be the worst part of your therapy experience. Insurance filing, billing, scheduling – we do whatever it takes to make it all work.
Yes, you'll get exercises to do at home. And yes, Tom can tell if you did them. And don't be surprised if Tom designs a home therapy protocol expressly for your home and your lifestyle, because he is 100% committed to your recovery.
BIO
TOM MATASSA
P.T., TPI Certified Level 1, Medical 2
Getting people back to their best lives-- that's always been my personal philosophy. It's led me to the most fulfilling career I could ever have imagined.
Having worked in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, sports medicine clinics, homecare and outpatient orthopedics, I've encountered a wide range of injuries and conditions, as well as an incredibly diverse patient population. I approach each patient as a new challenge and together we'll work to create a successful therapeutic partnership.
I'll educate you about your condition, because to be successful you need to understand the "how" and "why" of your treatment. I'll design an exercise program here in the gym and at home-- with my creativity and your feedback-- that will ensure you get the best results. You'll get the encouragement you need to stay motivated. Here, you'll work closely with me and also side by side with other patients-- you'll never be far from an inspiring story. Our atmosphere is fun, engaging and creative, making your experience positive and successful.
I also love golf, which has led to me to get Titleist Performance Institute Medical 2 Certified. Now, I help golfers understand how to correct swing flaws so they can play the game they love longer, more consistently and pain free. So, whether you want to swing on the course or swing on the dance floor, we can help make it happen.

“TOM IS GREAT. HE LOOKED OVER MY X-RAYS AND MRI AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE I HAD BETTER THAN THE THREE DOCTORS I CONSULTED"
MARK K.
(PATELLAR TENDON)
Note: Mark’s doctors all recommended surgery. Tom believed it could be avoided with the right therapy. Two years later, and with no surgery, Mark’s knee remains strong and pain-free.
