GET TO KNOW UPRIGHT HEALTH

We Help The World
Think Right, Move Right, And Feel Right.

Upright Health is dedicated to helping people eliminate the fear, anxiety, and physical limitations that come with chronic pain.

Our goal is to help people understand how the body works at its most fundamental level.

On our popular YouTube channel and blog, we make musculoskeletal research accessible and understandable. We explain the philosophies and faults of orthopedic surgeries so people can make better choices about aches, pains, and daily life. We lay out the foundations of functional training so you can achieve freedom in your body.

We strive to share all that we learn so that the whole world has the opportunity to move right and feel right.

Matt Hsu

Founder of Upright Health, Father of One, Master of None.

His 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.

Matt was certified in the Rolf Method of Structural Integration by the Rolf Institute in Boulder, CO. He achieved an Egoscue certification of Posture Alignment Specialist Level II. He is also certified as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Personal Trainer by the National Academy of Sports Medicine and as an Orthopedic Exercise Specialist through ACE. He studies books, videos, and blogs on rehabilitative and strength training constantly.

When not working, he's stretching in the living room, learning to surf, learning dance or gymnastics moves, or riding a bike with his son in tow.
