THe IC Strength Physical Therapy Difference
(Click to Learn More)
-
Every visit is a full 60-minute session with a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Your therapist is with you the entire time—no assistants, no hand-offs, and no split attention.
-
Unlike many traditional clinics, we never overlap patients. Your time is fully dedicated to your care so every minute of your session is purposeful.
-
Your rehabilitation is built around your goals, your movement patterns, and your lifestyle. Whether you want to return to sport, lift pain-free, or simply move better day-to-day, your plan is tailored specifically to you.
-
We incorporate skilled hands-on techniques when appropriate to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore normal movement so you can get more out of your rehabilitation.
-
Your program combines modern rehabilitation science with proper strength and conditioning principles to rebuild resilience, improve performance, and prevent future injury.
-
We believe patients should understand their condition and their recovery. Education and coaching are a key part of every session so you feel confident managing your health.
-
Our goal isn’t just temporary relief. We focus on building lasting strength, movement capacity, and durability so you can stay active and healthy long after therapy ends.

Deep tissue, instrumented assisted tissue mobilization, myofascial cupping, and joint mobilization to promote circulation, increase joint range of motion, and speed recovery
Targeted myofascial needling technique used to stimulate local tissue healing and influence the neuromuscular system in order to reduce pain and improve movement quality
Functional and sport-specific approach to evaluation that identifies weak links, compensations, and faulty patterns throughout the kinetic chain so we can treat the root cause—not just the symptoms
Stabilization and Mobility Training
Exercises designed to build stability/control where you need it and mobility to address movement limitations, creating a balanced, injury-resistant foundation
Progressive Strength and Conditioning
A structured approach that gradually increases resistance, volume, or complexity to ensure steady strength gains and long-term performance

Advanced method that uses controlled compression to boost strength and muscle growth while reducing joint stress—ideal for post-operative rehab and recovery
Who i am
I’m Matt Hrvol and I’m proud to call Iowa home. I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. Graduating from University of Iowa in 2016, I began my career in Chicago, where I spent three years working in orthopedic sports medicine. In 2019, I returned to the Iowa City area to bring modern, strength-focused rehab to the Iowa City community.
Over the years, I’ve pursued advanced certifications to ensure patients receive the most effective, evidence-based care possible. These include:
Certified Functional Range Conditioning (FRC)
Mobility Specialist
Champion Performance Specialist
Champion Baseball Rehabilitation Specialist
Fitness Pain Free Certified Provider
B-Strong Blood Flow Restriction Specialist
Integrative Dry Needling Trained
My areas of experience include assessment and treatment of all musculoskeletal conditions, with an emphasis on Powerlifting, Olympic lifting, CrossFit, overhead athletes, and performance training. I love helping people bridge the gap between rehab and performance. My goal is simple: get you out of pain, moving better, and back to doing what you love—stronger than before.
I’m honored to have been voted“Best Physical Therapist in the Area”by the Iowa Press Citizen for the past 3 years. This recognition reflects my commitment to providing personalized, one-on-one care that empowers people to take ownership of their recovery and performance.
At IC Strength, we don’t just chase symptoms—we uncover patterns, identify weak links, and develop solutions that last. Our approach blends in-depth global assessment, hands-on manual therapy (including dry needling, joint mobilization, and soft tissue techniques), and progressive strength training principles.
We focus on long-term resilience, so you can move beyond pain, reclaim your strength, and prevent injury for years to come. Whether you’re rehabbing an injury, refining your form, or rebuilding after setbacks, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
