Stop Waiting for "Rest" to Solve Your TOS Symptoms.

Address the Numbness, Tingling, and Aching by Changing How You Move.  

 

I know the frustration of sleepless nights and constant dead ends. I’ve been there.

As a Corrective Exercise Specialist and long-time desk jockey, I developed this step-by-step system to help you reactivate the weak, dormant muscles that have left your shoulders and hands vulnerable.

It’s time to get your body back online.

Thoracic outlet symptoms can change everything—making it hard to play with your kids, get through a workday, or enjoy the sports you love.

If you’re here, you’ve likely spent months or years searching for answers. You’ve probably been told your anatomy is the problem, but something about that feels off. 

I know this struggle because I've lived it too.

I'm Matt Hsu, and my journey didn't start with a single injury. It started with a total system failure.

 

Before I was a Corrective Exercise Specialist, I was a person whose body was falling apart. I didn't just have "shoulder and wrist issues"—I had chronic, debilitating pain in my knees, my hips, my feet, and my back. I felt like a machine that was breaking down at every joint.

 

I spent years in the "Rest Trap," listening to experts tell me to do less, move less, and wait for the pain to stop. But the more I rested, the more my body collapsed. I wasn't healing; I was atrophying. 

 

That frustration is what drove me to this work. I obsessed over the mechanics of muscular reactivation because my own life depended on it. I had to learn how to rebuild my body from the ground up—from the feet to my fingers. 

 

Then I started helping private clients with their bodies. 

 

The Shoulder Fix - TOS Edition is the culmination of that obsession. It’s everything I learned to finally "unlock" my upper body and move with Smooth, Strong, Stable confidence again.

 

I’m not just teaching you exercises; I’m teaching you how to rebuild your support system so you can stop living in a body that feels like it’s failing you.

My Journey with TOS Symptoms was rough.

 

By 2003, I couldn't type for more than a few seconds without a heavy price: numbness and a cold, "dead" feeling in my hands. My doctors called it "overuse" and told me to rest. 

I fell into the "Rest Trap." While I waited to heal, the muscles supporting my neck and shoulders were withering. Things didn't get better.

They got worse.

The Trial and Error Phase lasted years...

Desperate to avoid surgery, I tried everything:

  • Acupuncture & Massage: These provided relief for a few hours, but never addressed the underlying weakness.
  • Chiropractic: It helped for a few hours, but never resulted in long last change.
  • Dangerous Dosing*: I began taking potentially toxic, high doses of B-vitamins to mask the nerve pain. It worked for a while—until my body hit a wall and even the vitamins failed. 

*DOING THIS WITH VITAMIN B RISKS PERMANENT NEUROLOGICAL DAMAGE!

The Shift to Strength

Eventually I had an "Aha" moment. I was getting more fragile. Less stable. I had to go the other direction.

I realized you cannot solve atrophy with rest, needles, or pills.

I stopped looking for a "fix" and started focusing on building strength and stability.

I decoded the "Weakness Chain" from my neck to my fingertips. By reactivating the dormant muscles that were failing me, I got my life back. 

I went from desperation to a fully functional desk jockey and recreational athlete—and everything I learned is built into the Shoulder Fix - Thoracic Outlet Edition

Why Traditional Physical Therapy Often Leaves a Functional Gap

Physical therapy is a logical first step, but many people find the results plateau or disappear the moment they leave the clinic. Here is why those traditional methods often fall short of true Optimization:

  • The Passive Trap: Treatments like massage, heat, and ultrasound can temporarily soothe a "pinch," but they don't wake up the atrophied muscles that are supposed to hold your shoulders in a healthy position.
  • The "Remedial" Ceiling: Many protocols rely on very gentle stretches. But if you don't eventually progress to active resistance, your body never develops the structural strength or habits required to keep the thoracic outlet open during a long day at a desk.
  • Missing the Support Chain: TOS symptoms aren't just about one nerve; they are about a systemic collapse of support from your neck down to your pelvis. Stretching a tight muscle doesn't help if the surrounding muscles are too weak to hold the "open" position.

Passive relief doesn't create active support. To stay "online," your muscles need more than a stretch—they need the right stimulus.

My left shoulder was in a constant spasm and the fingers of my left hand were going numb. MRIs had indicated I had cervical spine pathology. Three different doctors I consulted with expected that surgery would be the only solution and there was not much else I could do...

Matt listened to the information the doctors had given me, understood my concerns, and presented me with a very different perspective from what I had already heard.

What was most notable was that he had clearly already considered the other perspectives on my issues and had well-reasoned notions about why the traditional perspectives may have arisen and how they may be misleading. In the first session with Matt, there was an obvious improvement in my hand and neck symptoms.

After a month or two I was feeling very good and no longer suffered the distraction of pain and numbness during my busy workdays...

Is Surgery a Structural Solution to a Functional Problem? 

 

Surgery—such as removing a rib or cutting a scalene muscle—is an attempt to create space by permanently altering your anatomy. While this is a massive structural change, it often fails to address why the space became crowded in the first place.

Think of your shoulder like a sagging suspension bridge. If the cables (your muscles) are weak and loose, the bridge sags and hits the water.

Removing a bone is like cutting the frame of the bridge to keep it from hitting the water. It makes a little room, but the bridge is still sagging. 

Cutting the scalenes would be a like cutting the cables. 

  • The Missing Piece: Surgery results can be hit-or-miss in the long run. If you don't address the weak muscles, the cause of "sag" is still there.
  • The Goal: You can cut the frame to make room, but the real goal is to tighten the cables.

The Shoulder Fix - TOS Edition is built to help you properly "re-tension" those muscle cables.

We want to move your body from a collapsed state back to being Smooth, Strong, and Stable.

I’m only 23 but I’ve struggled with Thoracic Outlet syndrome for the last 4 years – constant neck, shoulder, back, elbow discomfort and tingling all the way down my arm into my hand.

I couldn’t weight lift, which I desperately wanted to do. I went to orthopedic doctors, chiropractors, sports performance specialists, and not only did nothing work, these professionals could not diagnose the issue.

Then I met with one of the top “thoracic outlet syndrome specialists” in the country and was diagnosed with TOS. After only meeting with me one time, I became a candidate for surgery, with the option of removing two muscles in my upper chest and neck, as well as one of my ribs. I immediately went online and searched “alternative treatment for Thoracic Outlet Syndrome” and that’s where I came across Upright Health.

I found the Shoulder Fix program, bought it, and started that night. It was the best money I’ve ever spent.

I swear to god I felt better after the first session. The rest is history – I’m lifting again without shoulder/neck discomfort or tingling.

I was confused as to why I was not given this option when I saw the TOS specialist so I called and told them about my success without the surgery, but they didn’t want to hear it.

Maybe that has something to do with the fact that they’re making hundreds of thousands of dollars off these surgeries.

Upright Health does what the traditional medical model does not – treating the root cause of conditions with lifestyle changes.

Upright Health empowered me to heal my body by working in alignment with my natural musculoskeletal system without risky drugs or surgery – and for that, I am grateful.

I had shoulder and neck problems for years. Tried the traditional methods: doctors, scans, pills, injections to no avail. I bought Matt's TOS program out of desperation when I reached a point of not being able to lift my coffee mug without pain.

Progress was slow, but steady. A couple of years later, my shoulder function is not only completely restored but expanded.

Yet, this is NOT the most amazing thing about this program. What IS the most amazing thing about this program is that it changes your way of thinking. It teaches you how to become your own doctor when it comes to musculoskeletal issues: how to pay attention to your body, diagnose the source of the problem at hand and devise a remedying strategy. 

The human body will never be without its problems, but being able to figure out what's happening and how to fix it without relying on strangers who only see you for minutes is the ultimate empowerment.

After fixing my shoulder issues, I now apply Upright Health's principles to any musculoskeletal issue that crops up occasionally and it never fails. This is education for life!

"Think right, move right, feel right" for the win!

How Does This Compare to Other Options?

  • The Physical Therapy Loop: Most specialists charge $150–$250 per visit. Even with insurance, high deductibles and $60 co-pays add up fast. You can easily spend $1,000–$2,000 in three months on stretching and "passive" treatments that never address the underlying weakness.
  • The Chiropractic Cycle: You could pay $2,000+ over three months for temporary resets. Without muscle support, your bones will just shift back into the "collapsed" position.
  • The Surgical Risk: Surgery is a permanent change. If you don't fix the suspension failure, the pressure often comes back after the recovery is over.
  • The Private Specialist: I no longer offer private consultations. When I did, it cost at least $2,000 to walk a client through this process over two to three months. And I know not everyone can afford that.

The Shoulder Fix - TOS Edition gives you everything I know for less than the cost of a single specialized PT visit.

Wait! This program is not for everyone...

  1. You have a known vascular emergency: Do NOT start this program if you have been diagnosed with Arterial or Venous TOS or have a suspicion of blood clotting. Movement is powerful, but a blockage requires medical attention. Get clearance from your doctor first.
  2. You aren't willing to "do the work": This is not a magic pill or a passive massage. This is Thoracic Outlet Optimization. If you aren't ready to invest 15–20 minutes a day to retrain your body and make lifestyle changes, this isn't the right fit.
  3. You are looking for a medical "cure": I am a Corrective Exercise Specialist, not a doctor. This program is about functional restoration. We aren't "treating" a disease; we are addressing a support system that has become weak from atrophy. We are rebuilding the structural integrity that has collapsed over time.

 

If you ARE ready to do the work and reclaim your structural health, then I want to make this a zero-risk decision for you.
