Align Pain Management, Redding CA

I have been coming to Align for almost 5 years and it truly has changed my life. I was on a trip in NYC with friends and my back was so bad I was stuck in the middle of Central Park on a bench immobile. When I returned home I knew something had to change. I started coming to see Matthew when he just had opened here in Redding and with his help and expertise I was able to finally feel my age for the first time since I was a teenager. Being in my 30’s with chronic back pain was not working for my active lifestyle. It was not easy and at times I fought the process but it does work! Since being a member at Align for so long I have worked with all the trainers and I can say they are knowledgeable and can truly get you out of pain. There is no price tag on being pain free so do yourself a favor and spend the money on your health, you won’t regret it!

I am a true testament of how Align has saved my life. I could barely walk when i first got there. Matthew Lister, my trainer worked with me and taught me so many different techniques that I used to get my body in shape and be able to be mobile again. Let alone lose 100 lbs along the way. We started out slow and then I was able to work harder each week and before I knew it i was lifting weights, rowing 3000 plus meters He gave me my life back from so many numerous surgeries and diets I had been on. I can’t recommend Align enough to anyone that has struggles with back pain, leg pain, any pain that someone suffers from. There are several trainers there besides Matthew that are very qualified to show anyone the way to a healthy life. Thank you Align for all you have done for me and so many other people

I've been a member of Align for almost 2 1/2 yrs. The coaches are terrific, highly trained, professional, and have great personalities. The training programs are individually tailored to your specific needs, focusing on restorative posture, balance and strength.

Matthew and Jaylee and team are so welcoming, caring, and professional. They know how to help with pain and do it in a loving manor! Couldn’t recommend Align more!

My experience has been great so far. Their knowledgeable and friendly staff truly care about giving individualized care. They have helped me overcome chronic pain issues that most other medical professionals have not been able to for the last 10 years. If your really ready for change, this place will help you.

I can’t say enough about Align. They are a clear path to health. I had low back pain, semi regularly and shoulder pain.as well as hyper-mobility. They worked with me to correct those things and now if I’m in pain I have tools to get myself out and I am much stronger which is nice, combating the hyper mobility. I wish there was an Align in every city to help anyone in pain. I also love the coaches, not only do they know what they are doing and how to help I feel at home with them and know that I’m believed it. Thank you Align!

I was in so much pain I thought I would have to start using a cane when I started with Align. I couldn't even do some of the stretching because I hurt so bad. Now I am walking and I have learned how to keep my pain levels low, because of Align. And they are just fun people to be around.

When I first started at Align, I felt "broken", like many of their clients. Years of bad posture. Degenerating disks and joints. Obesity. After a hip replacement in 2008, everyone told me to "just walk". Well, just walking and standing was always painful.

I had known for some time that a "cookie cutter" workout and diet was not going to work for me.

I met with Matthew Lister, and just talking with him made me feel hopeful. He listened to my history, my concerns and tailored a workout just for me. He has his own back issues which helps him empathize with his clients.

Now, I CAN do a rigorous workout, including walking. I have lost weight. And if I have a day when my back or shoulders are jacked up, I know I can contact any of the fantastic trainers at Align and get the help I need.

Love you guys!

Align changed my life. It helped me avoid 2 major surgeries and kept me pain free. After a few long years of trying to find a solution for chronic hip and knee pain align was the only thing that has helped me

When I started here, I was in a ton of back pain. I am active and could not figure out why being active made me hurt more, not less, when I was doing what experts tell me to do. Turns out that a number of foundational muscles were virtually nonexistent. I trusted the -Align system and crew because what they told me made sense. Our bodies our systems and the whole system needs to be working to live out a pain-free life. They started me on super basics, but the super basics showed me how weak I really was. The progression of movement is very subtle but super intentional and focused on your individual needs. They check in with your pain nearly every time you walk in, and ensure that what they’re doing that day addresses what you need most. They helped me undo overstimulated areas and find the nonexistent ones. You’ve got to work the system, and it’s taken months but I now have strength to keep me aligned and better habits and tools to move forward. It’s a commitment and an investment, for sure, but I see it as an investment in my well-being, mental health, and future. Trust the process.

I have been a client with Align for several years now. They help me improve my strength and flexibility in a fun and positive atmosphere. All the trainers here really know their stuff and focus on your particular issues to keep you moving without pain or difficulty. They help you build strength and stability to avoid any musculoskeletal issues so you can stay strong and active in all of your activities.

Align Redding is the best! Matthew and his staff are so supportive and I feel secure with them. I had a bad attack with my gluteal tendenopathy and Matthew took me back - no recriminations and worked with me 5 days a week until I could operate under my own steam. I cannot speak highly enough! The staff knows their stuff and I know you’ll be feeling and doing better. You need to do the work, but the crew is with you every step of the way! I’m off to my routine!

Align isn’t a remedy for me, it’s preventive medicine. The Align Team has incredible knowledge and I appreciate their attentiveness. Look forward to going every tues and thurs.

I’m so thankful to have found Align. I was in general pain all the time in my hips and low back. That is hardly ever the case now and if it is, I can get the help I need quickly. Super thankful for their knowledge, expertise in this arena of longevity and health, and their willingness to go the distance and really help people find the relief and strength they need.

Align is the first gym that has made me a believer in exercise. Matthew Lister is an excellent coach. He is extremely knowledgeable and understands my individual needs. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. Thank you Matthew!

This place is Amazing! They have helped so many people. Very knowledgeable, professional, and caring always ready to help.

One of the hardest things I do in my life is start my exercises. Starting is the hard part. So after seeing my friend turn into Wonder Woman I signed up with Align to get stronger and resolve back pain. Walking in the door I feel like I made their day just showing up. The gym is spacious, clean and well-equipped. But the reason I keep going back is the encouragement. My coach looks me in the eye and says “How did you do this week? ” She checks my alignment. If I’m out, she tailors the routine accordingly. If I’m pain free I know it’s the program that keeps me that way.
Key is the personal touch- if my posture isn’t just right for a particular exercise, my coach corrects it, and what a difference. They’re careful to keep you from hurting yourself.
Boring? Gosh no. The place rings with laughter, stories, corny jokes. Makes the time fly by.

As I've aged, I've developed back problems. A lot of that is related to my job which involves a lot of sitting at a desk or a conference room table. I'd been going to chiropractors and physical therapists, with varying degrees of success, but no long term solution. When I happened onto Align, it changed my life. I learned exercises and stretches which have corrected my posture and strengthened my back. Now I rarely have back problems, and when I do, it's usually because I've gotten casual in my exercise routine. If you are in pain, there's a place you can get help. I highly recommend Align.

Align worked serious miracles on me as premature arthritis had set into my feet from various injuries which resulted in bad posture, which affected my knees, hips, back and basically my whole body.
Matthew and his knowledgeable team worked together to teach me simple exercises that strengthened my body and gave me amazing results as I continue to be pain free!
Thank you so much Matthew & the Align family!
