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
When you're trying to get more flexible, you may notice you get sore after stretching. If you experience soreness after stretching, it's not a sign you're doing something wrong. It's a sign that you are working muscles hard! Stretching to improve flexibility involves isometric, eccentric, and even concentric contractions sometimes! That's why your muscles get sore. They aren't just "relaxing" when you stretch. Your stretched muscles are actually working!
