Every week, we witness a lot of amazing successes at Upright Health. We see people beat their pain and regain control of their lives, but sometimes people don’t believe us when we tell them about it!

The most common myth you hear out in the world about knee osteoarthritis is that running and jogging is what does you in. “It’s all the shock,” doctors say. “It’s just too much wear and tear,” friends say. Did you know that this conventional wisdom is actually wrong?
We recently posted a link on our [...]
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 [...]
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.
Okay, so not really “run,” but skate. This video is the answer to one of the questions I hear the most often, and it’s one of the questions I think most deserves an answer.

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).

Just got this wonderful little note from a client last week. She had been struggling with back and hip pain and sciatica-like issues before coming to Upright Health. After several months of postural exercises, she was confident that she’d be able to enjoy a vacation to England and France with her daughter. [...]
Your posture says a lot about muscular balance. It is a visual representation of how well your muscles coordinate with each other. That’s useful information if you’re a paleolithic guy or gal running around on the plains, but it’s also useful information for job seekers and business people negotiating deals in conference rooms.
Researchers at [...]
If you know anyone who’s had the misfortune of going through back or hip surgery only to find that the surgery did very little to help their pain or even made the pain worse, they need to see this video. If you know someone who’s been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, they need to [...]

STORIES OF SUCCESS
“I have been going to see Matt for chronic back and leg pain. I bought a sleep number bed over 12 years ago to try to help the back pain....I had been to the doctor and he gave me pain killers and anti inflammatory medicine, the pain just kept coming back....Went to the chiropractor often and got relief for a few days at a time.......Went to the massage therapist and got relief for a day or two. I cannot begin to calculate the thousands of dollars I have spent trying to just be normal again.
Then a couple of months ago I went to Matt at Upright Health. I was VERY skeptical, but desperate. The GREAT news is the pain is steadily getting better and I feel huge improvements. Just 6 weeks ago I had to slowly crawl out of bed every day and hope I could stand up without falling over in pain (like I sometimes did). Today I got straight up without the slightest hitch! It just keeps getting better and better!
Really, there is nothing to lose and your whole life to get back. If you are suffering like I was .... GET UP AND GO SEE MATT NOW! Do not think twice just give it a try. ALL YOU HAVE TO LOSE IS YOUR PAIN!”
