Our Story

A walk in the woods. An idea, a vision.

During a long hike in the Adirondacks, the idea of LIVE EVERY DAY was born. On the way up the mountain our discussion was on work, family, and helping others. By the time we made our way back down, we had essentially outlined the practice’s business plan, based on our expertise, for a medical practice specializing in Physical Therapy, Orthotic bracing, and Prosthetics. Our plan was to link the three in a way not done by others: center it on sound clinical experience while creating an atmosphere and culture of life improvement for our patients and employees alike.

From that day forward we haven’t stopped moving – and don’t ever plan to. In September 2012, we opened the doors to our second facility. This new facility in Simsbury, CT is our Flagship location and embodies all we have sought for the company to be. From an inspiring interior to the finest clinical equipment, our abilities are second to none. Fast forward, now 2019 five-practice locations strong, the first of its kind Orthopedic Residency program, a clinical site on Springfield College’s campus and group of the most empathetic clinically sound providers.

Come join us on this journey.

Two Brothers on a Mission

At LIVE EVERY DAY, we are driven by a shared vision: to build a practice that blends clinical excellence with a forward-thinking, patient-first philosophy. Rooted in collaboration, innovation, and leadership, we aim to shape not only the future of care but also the next generation of clinicians, creating meaningful connections and fostering well-being every step of the way.

Matt Calendrillo Co-Founder

I am a Physical Therapist a Board Certified Orthotist, as well a Board Certified Prosthetist. There’s not many of us out there, but LIVE EVERY DAY, allows me to be something else…Matt. This company was born of 2-like minded, and similarly looking brothers, who truly value each individual’s needs. LIVE EVERY DAY is the platform to provide the best care possible. There’s no boss looking over the shoulder, or red tape. We have one line that embodies our day to day focus, it simply reads, Two brothers on a mission. More than a medical practice a way of life.

Springfield College laid a wonderful foundation in rehabilitative services, and a spring board to my Master’s in Physical Therapy. From Springfield, I was accepted into a post graduate program at The University of Connecticut in the advanced studies of Orthotics & Prosthetics, and served as the class valedictorian. Having a unique knowledge base and a love for learning, I returned to post graduate work and received my Doctorate in Physical Therapy to both advance my clinical knowledge as well as re-enter the classroom in a Faculty role. Currently I share a mixture of experiences with the graduate Physical Therapy students, from didactic lecture to integrated clinical education. It keeps LIVE EVERY DAY on it’s toes and continues to bode wildly successful for patients. Welcome, and we look forward to getting you back to whatever you’re passionate about!

Anthony Calendrillo Co-Founder

No amount of education or work experience could have properly prepared me for the excitement that is LIVE EVERY DAY.

I am the business guy here. I earned a Finance degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia. After putting a few years of experience under my belt, I attended Quinnipiac University for an MBA. Starting as early as my second year of college I have worked at large corporations – Johnson & Johnson and later a large (unnamed) defense contractor. Both experiences taught me how business works and having management roles allowed me to hone my leadership skills.

Matt and I launched LIVE EVERY DAY in our minds many many years ago. The experience of starting the company and growing it to what it is today has taught me more than I ever learned in school. From developing the day to day activities to the long term plans, the process of creating this company has been a business person’s dream. I’ve enjoyed every second so far and can’t wait for what is in store for the future. Oh, and working side by side with my brother is pretty great too!

At home, I have a wonderful wife Kate and three fantastic (my humble opinion) kids. They are the biggest LIVE EVERY DAY fans I know.

Community Engagement: Giving Back, Every Step of the Way

At LIVE EVERY DAY, we are committed to making a difference both within and beyond our clinic walls. Each year, we carefully choose ways to give back—whether through PT Day of Service, Superhero Day at the children’s hospital, hosting journal reviews, or leading physician lectures. We proudly support local races, the duck race, mission work, and Pajama Day, showing up with our voice, labor, and financial support. Community involvement isn’t just part of what we do—it’s woven into who we are, every day.
