Posture Alignment Therapy Testimonials
Doing daily Egoscue exercises with Matt for seven months has renewed my physical abilities and life. After 25 years of back and other pains and strains, I am able to hike, bike, swim, and lifts weights. I spent years of other treatments and procedures with little or no improvements: meds, doctors, PT, acupuncture, chiropractors, naturopaths, MRIs, muscle biopsy, and other tests. Egoscue with Matt realigns my posture by strengthening and stretching my muscles. If you are in pain, invest in Egoscue with Matt’s guidance that will actually revitalize your life. - David - Portland, Oregon
Matt was pivotal in helping me recover from debilitating sciatica pain and regain my mobility. I suffered for 3 months from severe pain and limited function before starting a personalized Egoscue program with Matt. After 8 sessions and doing all the exercises daily, I am now fully recovered. I am 100% going back to Matt in the future for any pain or alignment issues! - Evie - Chicago, Illinois
I have only good things to say about Matt Whitehead and Oregon Exercise Therapy. I'd had issues going on in my body for years and nothing seemed to work...chiropractic, massage, acupuncture. I finally got some tools from him that worked. Matt has a vast knowledge of the body and how it works. I recommend him often. - Pauline - Portland, Oregon
I have known Matt since he began his work as a postural alignment specialist and he has my highest recommendation. Matt loves his work and it shows in his focused interest on his client's problem. He has the ability to quickly analyze the problem and develop a series of exercises to help. His unique approach of looking at the whole musculoskeletal system allows him to get to the real root of the problem, it is probably much more than the sore knee or shoulder that is bothering you and some of the exercises may surprise you by focusing on hips or back but they work! He is easy going and it is easy to schedule a timely appointment. I give him my highest rating. - Susan - Portland, Oregon
Matt, I want to thank you for helping me stay pain free and active. You are one of the most knowledgeable and effective therapists I have ever worked with which is why I refer all my friends and family and students to you. - Kathy - White Salmon, Washington
Hi Matt! I really just wanted to express my gratitude for what you do and your great help. And, great help it was!! When one is in constant great pain for as long as I was and so desperate for help...words cannot express what I want to say....how can I thank you enough? You helped change my life. – Carrie - Alaska
It is remarkable how much better my back feels. I really can't believe I could get this much relief this fast. I am so glad I did not op for surgery as the surgeon suggested last week. I am telling everyone about Egoscue and Oregon Exercise Therapy. - Mark - White Salmon, Washington
Matt taught me how to heal my plantar fasciitis symptoms by addressing the underlying muscle imbalances with simple stretches and exercises. Eight years later, I continue to use these stretches when needed to stay active and pain free. Matt's enthusiasm and dedication to his client's allows for the highest level of service. I'm so grateful for his expertise in uncovering and treating the root cause of pain and his willingness to share his gifts. – Julie - Portland, Oregon
Hi Matt! I have felt fantastic this week – the best week yet. There are hours when the pain is almost completely gone. I can sit for longer periods of time. Great improvement in range of motion and flexibility. I find that in everyday activities I can move almost as well as I did before I hurt my back. The improvement is really unbelievable! – Heidi
Matt at Oregon Exercise Therapy helped me see that my body alignment was off, that my injuries had begun a cascade of misalignments that resulted in pain in areas of my body that had not been originally injured. Matt gave me personalized series of exercises that helped to correct the alignment issues. I have become an advocate for Oregon Exercise Therapy. In fact two of my children, high school athletes with years of old sports injuries, are now working out at Oregon Exercise Therapy. They’ve seen performance improvements and have been relieved of back and knee pain from football and track injuries. – Vicki - Beaverton, Oregon
Having worked with many different Egoscue therapists over the last 15 years I can honestly say working with Matt Whitehead is the best. He listens, he cares, he knows what he is doing, and he always has the perfect exercises and menu to correct whatever issue I have having at the time. I recommend him to everyone I know. - Susan - Portland, Oregon
My sciatica pain is 100% gone! It's amazing! So thankful. - Adele - Beaverton, Oregon
I have referred several of my massage clients to Matt for help with persistant pain. He has helped all of them, as well as helped me with a pain condition which was not relieved through my usual Chiropractic and Massage Therapy treatments. I highly recommend Matt and the Egoscue clinic both for Personal Training and Postural Therapy for pain relief! – Sarah Gallagher - Beaverton, Oregon
Matt is an excellent trainer and exercise therapist. He's helped me recover from hip replacement surgery and restore my core strength and agility at age 66. I highly recommend Matt's expertise and service! – Don - Portland, Oregon
Thank you for todays session! This always blows my mind and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate not only what you do but your general kind nature. - Skylar - Tampa, Florida
I have had very little pain since the day I started doing Egoscue with you. It is amazing after so many years in pain! Thank you!! - Michael - Vancouver, Canada
Hi Matt, It is going great so far. I am seeing great improvements, and have been able to practice my harp for over an hour without my arm hurting. I am so pleased to be able to do some "heavy" yard work, and still not have a sore arm afterward!!! : ) It has been years since that has been the case! I am thrilled! – Sarah - Fairbanks, Alaska
I've known Matt for years and I always send him any clients with posture issues! He once helped correct an NFL athlete with scoliosis and I was able to better his running form and strength to the point he signed a professional contract. Without Matt he wouldn't have signed! - Kyle Lunde - Portland, Oregon
I've been so blessed to have Matt as my Egoscue therapist. He is exceptional and without his expertise am not sure I could continue practicing massage therapy, my profession, without pain. Oregon, you are so lucky to have him....I live in colorado and receive my routine of exercises via email. No amount of massage or chiropractic or acupuncture helped my ongoing alignment issues. It was Matt and the Egoscue Method that keep me more balanced and out of pain! Thank you Matt!! - Michelle - Kremmling, Colorado
Matt Whitehead is the ultimate structural therapist and exercise trainer. He is knows his stuff, motivates you, takes a personal interest in the totality of his client's well-being and is always in a good mood! - Warren - Los Angeles, California
I'm thanking my Heavenly Father for Pete Egoscue and Matt Whitehead this morning. I sprang from bed (compared to what I've been doing), I took my dog for a walk (haven't been able to do that for a bit), my neck isn't grabbing, my knee is so much better, and even my elbow (yesterday I couldn't open and close my hand or move my arm without it killing my elbow) is a million times better! I can tip my head back to drink. I am just improved in so many ways. I can't thank you enough for your Skype session yesterday! What is wrong with me that I haven't been doing this all along? 'Can't thank you enough! I'm crying, I'm so happy! - Rose Ann - Turner, Oregon
I worked with Matt first as a client, and then also mentored with him as I went through the Egoscue University's PAS program myself. What a remarkable experience it has been! He is a great therapist and teacher, and his enthusiasm for his work is inspiring. I can recommend Matt without reservation because the changes in my own body, and in my clients' bodies, is nothing short of miraculous. One 68 year-old client of mine - with whom he helped me - had pain from scoliosis, spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis. He prescribed exercises that relieved her of pain almost immediately so that she was able to sleep through the night for the first time in years. But most impressively was the measurable fact that she followed Matt's advice and did her exercises daily and gained nearly an inch in height in just 8 short weeks. What a gift! - Grace - Sequim, Washington
Lower back pain is decreased a lot. I love the tower! BIG difference already! :) Wow! I feel much better! Soccer felt amazing! I have so much more energy! Ran 54 miles last week. No pain! Hips are great! Thanks Matt! – Scott - Portland, Oregon
I'm doing great! My calf and neck pain are all gone. When a symptom pops up, I do the exercises and the pain disappears. You're the greatest. – Angie - Sandpoint, Idaho
Dear Matt, I have been doing the exercises that you recommended, and it has helped greatly. This afternoon I played 9 holes of golf, and had none of the pain which I experienced before seeing you. Best regards – John - Phoenix, Arizona
Hello Matt! I feel soooo limber and free in my hip movements and relaxed in my low back. Outstanding and I'm very impressed with the pdf's and the videos, great support to the client. Wonderful job, keep up the great job. – Mike
It is amazing! My shoulders are so much better than before I started. My feet are so much better. My elbows and knees are better. I can't believe how much better I feel. - Cheryl (who has rheumatoid arthritis) - Gresham, Oregon
Matt is a knowledgeable therapist. He is also patient and delightful to work with. My family and I have benefited from his therapy sessions. – Morrie - Portland, Oregon
Matt, you're the greatest! Seriously... I am learning a lot from you, and my body feels better with every passing day that I do the exercises you give me. Thank you! - Grace
Thanks Matt. You are awesome! – Jeff - Bend, Oregon
It is amazing! I've been in pain for 5 years and worked with other therapists and no one has been able to help me. Working with you I am 95% pain free! It feels so good to not have any pain and be able to walk and do things I haven't been able to do for years. Thank you so much! - Joni - Portland, Oregon
Thanks for giving me the power to be able to shovel snow for hours at my age and do what I need to do here on the farm! - Barb - Bralorne BC, Canada
I cured by knee pains and mild scoliosis with the help of Egoscue and Matt's insightful guidance. I am climbing up and down stairs, walking, and can do any type of physical activity without any pain now. It is very important to pay attention to Egoscue principles of alignment and follow the instructions to the letter. Matt has sound knowledge about Egoscue and how the human body works. He replies to emails promptly an dis very humble and gentle. I must say it is worth doing Egoscue therapy under his supervision. Egoscue WORKS!!! Many thanks to Matt. - Nirali - India.
