I’ve had running pain and injuries for over 10 years now, starting in high school with shin splints and a doctor telling me I had a stress fracture. I took time off and tried again, but the issue kept popping up. I was told it was the structure of the bones in my legs and […]
Continue readingI had extreme pain in my groin, inner thighs, hips, tailbone and SI joint area for five years straight on both sides of my body. My lower back was also extremely bad and would give out often. Later on, even my knees started giving out and having pain. It was never ending and got worse […]
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 readingI recently came across your channel and found many of your videos extremely relieving as well as beneficial. I had been suffering from FAI for about a year now. I’ve had many low points due to this and have been slightly depressed for a while. Prior to that I had about an 8 month long adductor strain. […]
Continue readingI had been challenged by hip mobility for many years as the result of an inflammatory condition. Pain was just part of a typical day – which was incredibly draining. One session with Matt over Skype provided me the tailored methods to reduce the issue. Following a relatively simple protocol, I received a step change […]
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 have a herniated disk in my lower back, and I could see I was losing strength and muscle, so I decided to seek out a trainer. I was partnered with Vincent and he was great. We discussed my goals and talked a lot about what movements strain my lower back, and from there he […]
Continue readingI came to Upright Health with chronic pain in my upper back, neck, and shoulders from years of slumping in front of computers. I had been to physical therapy multiple times, tried acupuncture and a chiropractor, and spent lots of time with a massage therapist. A couple of the physical therapists were really good and […]
Continue readingI had pain in my groin and hip on and off since I gave birth to my daughter 13 years ago. The pain was especially bad doing twisting movements such as when playing tennis or squash. My problems were most severe when I tried to sleep. I had to lie flat on my stomach, with […]
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. I was an active athlete in many sports from childhood into my 40s. […]
Continue readingWhen I went in to see Matt, I hobbled into the room. During the intake interview, he asked “Where do you hurt?” My answer was not where do I hurt, but “where don’t I hurt!” My body was a mess and I felt it with every movement. I have scoliosis in the upper back, which […]
Continue readingI came to Upright Health because my low back and left S.I. joint would not stop aching and hurting, and I was sick of it. I’m in my 50’s, and I pride myself on being healthy and fit. I was doing regular yoga and cardio as well. Despite my best efforts, my left knee was […]
Continue readingIn the spring of 2013 my left gluteus felt like it tore while running. Next came plantar fasciitis. Before that for a year or so it felt like my left lower waist would ‘give out’ toward the rear when sitting. Getting out of a car was increasingly difficult, as getting out of my Aeron chair […]
Continue readingI came to Matt to address several problems. First, I sit a lot for work, and both hips felt incredibly tight all the time, but the right hip felt so restricted that I felt like I was rotated when walking. I suspected the right hip had something to do with the surgery I had on […]
Continue readingUpright Health was the best decision I ever made. I have been a very active person my entire life – from sports in school to spartan training over the past couple years. Six months ago I began developing low back pain and hip pain that just kept worsening each day. It got to the point […]
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 readingI started seeing Matt almost a year ago thanks to the Internet, Yelp ratings, and the reviews. Those things really made my decision to go see Matt at Upright Health easier, and boy I’m thankful I did. I had been suffering from musculoskeletal issues for close to 15 years. My problems ranged from misalignment in […]
Continue readingI am not one to write testimonials, however, living in pain each day for over a year has motivated me to tell my story back to strength, wellness and movement. When I was referred to Matt and Upright Health, it had been over a year since I had been able to sleep without pain, walk, […]
Continue readingI have a job that requires me to sit in meetings and at a computer for long periods of time, and I ride horses in my off hours. I started suffering with debilitating pain shooting down the left side of my neck and shoulder that went all the way down to my hand in October […]
Continue readingI came looking for help after my back started to really get to me again. I’ve got two herniated discs in my lower spine that pinch my nerves painfully and limit my movement. My goal was to get my back in proper order before starting at the gym regularly. I’d had a trainer for a while […]
Continue reading“I initially sought out Matt for Rolfing services to help alleviate my hip, knee, shoulder and back pain. I suffered from chronic pain in these areas for over 10+ years. I’ve previously seen Orthopedic Surgeons, Physical Therapists, Acupuncturists, have received Chiropractic care along with massage therapy 3x/week for several consecutive years and while they gave […]
Continue readingWhen I first met Matt, I was suffering from neck and lower back pain. I had bulging discs in my back and neck and really wanted to avoid surgery. I had several steroid injections in my neck with some relief, but the pain always came back. Anti-inflammatories made me crazy. I was really desperate for […]
Continue readingMatt knows more about releasing pain and improving the quality of life than most physicians will ever know. I hadn’t been able to see Matt for the four years he was in San Diego and I was really suffering. I mean really suffering to the point of having to use serious medications. He came by […]
Continue readingI truly appreciate the time we spent together over the last year which has helped greatly to reduce my daily pain and taught me a lot about what I need to work on to stay healthy and get stronger!
Continue readingAfter years of constant pain, four sessions of Rolfing® Structural Integration and a few months of consistent adherence to a corrective exercise program reprogrammed Terry’s muscles for more efficient movement patterns and made a huge difference in the power of his golf drives.
Continue readingWith pain and discomfort from head to toe, Jessica couldn’t even train for marathons anymore. Her body was out of alignment, and rest, massage, and chiropractic provided no real help.
Continue readingI had severe back and sciatica pain for about 9 months. I spent thousands of dollars trying to get better. Physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, injections etc…. You name it and I tried it. It got to the point that my doctor said I would probably need surgery. I was desperate and just wanted the pain […]
Continue readingI tore a disc in my lumbar spine in December 2009 and had nerve blocks, epidurals, pain killers, PT, acupuncture, swimming, massage therapy and Pilates out in the DC area for seven months and still couldn’t be out of the house for more than two hours, sit for more than 30 minutes or even walk […]
