How femoral acetabular impingement changed a life

By Maryann, Postural Therapist On November 18, 2011 · Leave a Comment

In May of 2006, I had a breast augmentation procedure done. I was 25 at the time, and I had long been self-conscious about my breast size.  The surgery went off without a hitch, and I was happy with this “better” version of myself. I have always been active and athletic, so I went right [...]

By Matt Hsu, Certified Rolfer and Postural Therapist On November 14, 2011 · Leave a Comment

MRI’s are powerful diagnostic tools. You can see the insides of the body in great detail. But how reliable are they? One doctor gathered 31 pain-free professional baseball pitchers for a study to see what MRI’s would determine about the health of their shoulders. Find out whether the MRIs got on base, knocked it out of the park, or just plain fouled out.

We live in an age where computers run everything. Behind the scenes, there are brilliant computer programmers creating systems that help them run everything.

Just wanted to share another client’s story of her shoulder pain and how quickly it changed when she started training her body to move properly again.  She had had shoulder pain for 2 years before finally coming in to Upright Health (once she was frustrated with all the pills her doctor had been recommending).

  • STORIES OF SUCCESS

    “Matt is an excellent therapist. He gives you the same careful, thoughtful attention each and every time you meet with him. He is great at listening to your feedback and adjusting your personalized exercises to address your particular needs. Within a few days of following Matt’s strange stretching routine, the lower back pain that had been my constant companion had almost completely disappeared. I can even see an improvement in my own torso when I look in the mirror. I continue to be amazed when, at the end of each day I realize that I went pain-free again. It shouldn’t be this easy.‎”
