At Upright Health we give you strategies and research to get your life back.

With principled functional training, we believe everyone can beat chronic pain and get strong, mobile, and resilient.

Our home training programs help you troubleshoot and train your body safely. We help you tear down fear and build up muscle. We help you think right, move right, and feel right.

Matt Hsu's own battle with chronic pain from the age of 16 in his feet, knees, hips, back, shoulders, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, and head gives him a uniquely thorough understanding of musculoskeletal pain, the ways in which it can undermine an entire life, and the mental and physical hurdles that keep people from getting out of it.

When not filming videos, he's working out in the living room, surfing, learning dance or gymnastics moves, or riding a bike with his son in tow.

I'm a teacher and, I must say, the way you present information is FANTASTIC. The relaxed but engaging pace, the detailed, multi-faced explanations of the movements, and - especially! - the recap at the end are all just great. Thank you SO much.

Me 70 yr old woman can not get enough of YOU 🙂 Left Hip/Leg pain set in due to a lot driving with left leg tucked up under right leg (gas peddle leg) I am determined to strengthen my muscles to support my skinny frame. I don't want to fall and yell out "Help I have fallen and I can't get up." Straight up is the best. Thank you for all your work you do to help/save people like me. Im still waiting for my primary to call wanting to put me on a script because the MRI and Dexa scan came back with I have a severe case of Osteoporosis. Didn't buy into that result. So here i am. Ankle weights on the way. I'm going to get around to subscribing to support you.
We support you, You support us. THANK YOU

I absolutely love everything I've been learning from Upright Health and all you are doing. Once I was a very strong, healthy and active person, but injuries and life events coupled with no regular exercise (even stretching) have caused me in the last 5 years become weak and in chronic pain. I have been really struggling this year, as even doing things like small maintenance projects around the house like re-staining our deck are too much and I end up down for weeks after -- this is exactly what I need to start getting myself back. Thank you for all you do!

I absolutely LOVE how simple yet effective these exercises are!!
There are several physical therapists on YT that have us wrangle around in such convoluted positions that if i was able to pretzel my body into their positions i wouldn't NEED the exercises!! 😉

[foxfieldfarmer]

I can't believe how much better my hip feels after doing this workout I have hope now that I will feel better in the long term THANK YOU !

We have enjoyed your YouTube videos on fixing hip pain. We purchased your Hip Workouts 1 & 2 from your website. We felt improvement within the first few days. Going into week three we are delighted with the results. Well worth the time and $$

I avoided getting surgery like 10 years ago, and instead meandered my way towards recovery by increasing strength, flexibility and ROM which has me feeling better physically at 36 than I was in my early 20's; I get the appeal of the prospect of a quick fix, and the seeming hopelessness of a chronic pain ridden life, but going the slow, steady and at times tedious route not only corrects your body in the same but opposite way it got painful, (namely, slowly), it also forces one to learn one's own body and understand what messed it up in the first place, making it a sustainable correction of biomechanics that I am certain surgery wouldn't have given me, IF it actually made me pain free quickly, and I think that's a solid "IF".

If I had found upright health sooner I suspect it would have cut my recovery timeline WAY down, and I did arrive at a lot of the stuff covered on this channel on my own, but I'm still glad I found it when I did because it's giving me a direction to continue on in and still continue to gain range of motion, flexibility, and capability that I haven't had since I was a teenager, so this channel is an invaluable resource

I noticed I need to do these more often!! They really help. Thank you!!

[MinionTomato]

Bro your, awesome information. You have no idea how much you’ve helped me.

[jimmymacias]

Wow this content is amazing! I just did all 7 of the mobility exercises for 30 minutes and it with my right knee pain. Now I need a list of mobility exercises for my shoulder pain🤣

[larryadamson]

Thanks Matt for the this informative and excellent video. I plan on continuing these exercises until I can do them as well as you do. That will take time. I agree with you that fast is foolish and slow is safe. You are clever guy and I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.

[pippip]

I just did a quick sidelying fire hydrant stretch for the first time after seeing one of your videos and the pain in my hip has reduced 80% already, I’m in shock! I thought I had bursitis or osteoarthritis or something, I have had this pain for months, turns out I just need to stretch and exercise my body go figure hehe Thank you!! 👏

[susannekalejaiye]

really useful post routine notes. For me the note about the neck (can do separately) was the most useful. Thank you

[EdwardShea-qt]

Just came across this and really glad I did .Thank you for sharing this going to di it every morning.

[patriciaboehme]

Appreciate all the time and information you pass along. Best of all, my body gives you a big thank you.

[thomsonlaurie]

Very safe and effective exercises - I added your set to the ones prescribed by my physio and think I may get more relief from yours and, although to be fair, maybe it is the combination however if I skips yours, I don't feel as good! Thank you so much!

[chowchowtales]

Your exercises, instruction, and tone of voice is effective for being able to stay focused on each individual exercise. I’m rehabbing from hip pain and this workout was just right. I will check out your other hip sequence

I realised that the hamstrings play a massively under appreciated and overlooked role in hip stability, positioning and flexibility and knee stability as well. Everyone talks about hip flexors and the glutes but modern life is completely detrimental to the hamstrings. I think they are the weakest link in my whole posterior chain but they make up almost 1/4 of it! They’re also fairly difficult to train without equipment.
