He has worked in the outpatient setting in St. Louis since becoming a licensed physical therapist, including 2 years of treating veterans at the St. Louis VA Hospital.
He became a clinical director and part owner of a clinic in Creve Coeur in 2015 while continuing to treat patients. Matt has focused his continuing education on treating sports and general outpatient orthopedic conditions. As an Astym Certified therapist, he specializes in working with complex shoulder conditions and preventing future injuries.
His free time is dedicated to spending time with his wife, son and daughter - and the occasional round of golf with friends. His passion at home and within the community is centered around giving back to others with a focus on delivering more value than is asked of him. This has been his north star as a husband, father, friend, therapist, small business owner and entrepreneur.
Allison Schaal was born and raised in the metro east area and graduated with her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Saint Louis University in 2012. Since graduating, Allison has worked in a number of settings including acute care, home health, and outpatient clinics. As a previous collegiate athlete, Allison recognizes how important it is to patients to return to their favorite activities quickly. She has a passion for connecting with others and finding the factors that motivate a patient in order to help them improve. Allison enjoys working with all patients, but especially enjoys working with the older population!
Allison joined the Tailor Made team in July of 2023.
When asked why she enjoys her role at Tailor Made, she says “This clinic has such a special feel to it. We have so much fun here, all while providing exceptional care. No two exercise programs are the same. This job has pushed me to become a better clinician, and I feel so lucky to be a part of this team.”
In her free time, Allison enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, reading, playing tennis, and talking about all things Taylor Swift.
Rachel Wasilewski was born and raised in Illinois, and graduated with her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Maryville University of St. Louis in 2023. Rachel completed one of her clinical internships as a student at Tailor-Made Physical Therapy in the summer of 2023, and returned to work here in early February as a full-time Physical Therapist.
Rachel also has experience with completing clinical internships as a student physical therapist at a corporate owned outpatient clinic, a rural mix rehabilitation hospital, and an acute care hospital setting. Rachel discovered her passion for physical therapy after an ACL injury in 2016. Rachel enjoys treating all patients during recovery, and has a passion for working with young athletes. She loves helping others reach their unique goals and seeing the joy and smiling faces when athletes are able to return to the sport they love most.

Rachel is from Centralia and moved to the Troy area after high school. She started her passion in physical therapy in 2013 as a Physical Therapy Aide. Under the guidance of the physical therapists, she worked with patients that were rehabbing from sports injuries and other orthopedic injuries/surgeries.
While she was happy helping patients achieve their goals and getting to know them, Rachel knew that she was meant for a more challenging role in the clinic. She began to learn the front office role as a hybrid position, and it was a natural fit for her thanks to the mix of customer service and the intricacies of dealing with health insurance.
In 2016, Rachel was promoted to Front Desk Coordinator while working for Matt at his clinic in Missouri. After being removed from the old clinic for several years, Matt was able to rehire Rachel as his Office Manager in 2022.
In Rachel’s free time she enjoys spending time with her son and friends. She likes to use her creative side and work on DIY house projects and refurbishing old furniture.
