Beyond These Clinic Walls
Hi there and welcome to the Beyond These Clinic Walls podcast!
I'm Jules, your host and a former Physical Therapist turned product professional. Joining me are my delightful co-hosts and founders of The Clinician Transition, Emma Brady and Emily Kelly. Each episode, we interview former rehab professionals who have successfully leveraged their clinical skills in non-traditional roles. We invite you to listen to their journeys, explore their career paths, and discover the opportunities beyond these clinic walls.
Happy listening!
Beyond These Clinic Walls
Inventor & Founder of Nuvio | Matt Cumella PT, DPT, GCS
Our Guest: Matt Cumella PT, DPT, GCS
Matt is a Physical Therapist who, when realizing the limited options of assistive mobility devices, took matters into his own hands (quite literally, with some ply wood and tools in his garage). The result was Nuvio, a company dedicated to advancing functional outcomes through thoughtfully designed assistive mobility devices. Matt talks about his how he discovered a problem, uncovered a solution and carried it from the clinic, to the garage, and finally into a company.
Matt is a Physical Therapist who has spent his career working with complex injury and geriatric populations. In 2020 he took the non-clinical leap when he founded Nuvio, a company committed to demonstrating the impact advanced assistive devices can have on functional outcomes. Their first product - Nuvio One - is set to launch in late 2022. Matt lives in Cambridge, MA with his wife Liz, daughter Emilia, and dog Miles. When he’s not talking about reimagining functional mobility you can find him golfing, enjoying a local brew beer, or watching the Celtics.
