Before coming to Upright Health, I had two issues going on. Firstly I had been struggling with flexibility regarding hip rotation, particularly external rotation. Both sides are equally rubbish but the right side had been painful and stiff ever since I suffered a hip flexor tear on that side about a year ago. For this […]
Continue readingYears ago I ran five Triathlons, 3 sprints and 2 olympic size ones. It was a fun thing to do as my forties started, and I figured a great way to get in shape. However, it took it’s toll on my aging body and things started to hurt all over. Two years ago, my back […]

Continue readingWhen I started with Upright Health, I didn’t know much about the origin of my body’s tension, weakness, or pain. I just knew that I was uncomfortable and tense, and I didn’t have the knowledge or tools to get better. Matt and Josh have answered all of my questions, spotted areas of weakness, and helped […]
Continue readingI woke up one morning in January 2016 with nagging anterior hip pain. 3 days later I couldn’t get out of bed or walk without crying in pain. 3 weeks later an MRI showed bilateral labral tears in both hips, but only one was inflamed in soft tissue and bone and there were bilateral tiny […]

Continue readingWhen I found Matt and the Upright Health team on the Internet a few months ago (mid-December), I didn’t realize how much of a positive impact it would have on my journey to recover from hip issues, that had been plaguing me for close to three years.

Continue readingWorking with Upright Health was, at my age, not something I’d ever consider except at the urging of my adult children. At age 79, I’ve been struggling with knee pain for decades. Fifteen years ago, with results from scans and x-rays, doctors told me it was arthritis and that there was little I could do […]
Continue readingUpright Health gave me my life back. Sounds dramatic, but that’s what it feels like.

Continue readingA year ago my leg/back pain was so bad I could barely sleep, sit, or walk for more than 15 mins without extreme discomfort. I tried it all. Months of physical therapy, chiropractic, massage therapy, osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, fire cupping, bloodletting, and floatation tanks, either exacerbated the problem or lasted only temporarily. After four PRP/prolotherapy […]

Continue readingWhat I liked most about my experience with Matt was that he doesn’t apply a one-size-fits-all solution to his clients. He recognized me as an individual with individual problems, and took his time to assess, test, and confirm problems/solutions. A little background. I’m a powerlifter. At 123lbs, I could deadlift 347lbs. But, I could not […]
