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.
