If you're experiencing pain, Matterhorn Fit offers an innovative solution. With a proprietary approach, known as the Matterhorn Method, the company has effectively treated over 70 professional athletes, including 11 Olympians, and thousands of residents in Southwest Florida. During a thorough initial assessment, the Matterhorn Fit team identifies the root cause of a person’s discomfort, devises a tailored treatment plan, and implements measures to prevent pain from reoccurring. Over 94% of Matterhorn Fit’s clients experience a major reduction in pain within two weeks. 


In 2013, professional hockey player Ryan Vesce faced the possibility of retirement following extensive back and hip surgeries, despite his desire to continue playing. Seeking relief from chronic pain, Ryan partnered up with strength coach Sean Sullivan. The two combined various techniques gleaned from professional sports into a systematic approach, which they applied to Ryan's rehabilitation. The outcome was immediate, enabling Ryan to play pain-free for an additional five years. Motivated by this success, Ryan and Sean established Matterhorn Fit in 2018 with the goal of bringing their approach to others battling injuries and pain.


"Our goal is to deliver rapid results and subsequently, instill hope. Many of our clients have reached a point of despair. Having tried conventional treatments unsuccessfully, they find renewed optimism when we address pain, injury, and movement dysfunction from a neurological standpoint," explains Matterhorn Fit CEO, Ryan Vesce. “Once the issue is resolved, we develop a personalized movement plan to prevent recurrence and optimize performance. This is another one of our key differentiators.” 


"We're bringing an approach endorsed by professional athletes to the everyday person," adds Co-Founder Sean Sullivan. "Once individuals experience our process, there is no going back." 
Matterhorn Fit operates corporate locations in Bonita Springs and Naples and has recently introduced a franchise system to extend the reach of the Matterhorn Method nationwide.
