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.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO
If you use static stretching to improve your flexibility, you may have gotten frustrated when you tighten back up. No matter how many times you stretch, you feel like you get tight and stiff again. The key to improving your range of motion is to build strength at every length. You don't want to just relax into every stretch. In this video you'll learn why "relaxing" into a stretch alone often isn't enough. You'll also learn strategies to get more flexible that will turbocharge your flexibility training.
