Steve Mills and Matrix Movement Therapy

In 1981 Steve Mills joined the US Marines and spent six years on active duty. During his last 18 months, he was tasked with being the strength and endurance instructor for out-of-conditioned Marines at the 2nd Medical Battalion 3rd Marine Infantry Division, Camp Lejeune, NC. This is what inspired Steve to continue within the health and fitness industry after returning home.

After achieving a degree in physical therapy, he spent six years in an outpatient clinic focused on acute orthopedic injury as well as pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation. Steve enjoyed the work but felt he could do more for individuals by focusing on whole-body work. In 2012 Steve launched a company in Wisconsin and Illinois called StretchXperience, LLC. The service was manual stretching with instruction on how to actively stretch on your own.

Over the last 11 years, Steve has kept data on client experience and results. Combining this data with the latest science prompted him to create a new evolution that combines manual stretching, active stretching, strengthening, dynamic movement, and myofascial release. For the best results, one, or all techniques can be instituted. The new brand is called Matrix Movement Therapy, LLC, and is located in Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.

This is a wonderful meeting. I enjoy it every time. I appreciate the flexibility of the schedule and the accessibility to the Froedtert medical staff.
