Our Client's Stories

It’s hard to put into words just how much Paul and Danny have changed my life. I was diagnosed with Tarlov Cyst Disease and had major back surgery on my sacral nerves in 2019 that left me physically disabled. Later diagnosed with Lyme Disease in 2022. I went from being a very active, able-bodied yoga teacher, to a fragile individual. For over 4 years I’ve been in pain, felt weak, and struggled to feel safe in my body. You name the treatment, I’ve tried it. Enter NRP… Paul’s unique approach and methods are unlike anything I’ve encountered before. Under his guidance, I am literally learning how to walk again. He’s teaching me how to move with confident intention, to understand my body’s language and wisdom, and to reclaim the strength I thought was lost. Nerves and muscles are turning back on! I feel more connected to myself and can trust my body again. I have a newfound sense of hope. Paul- a true healer- has given me back my life, and for that, I am eternally grateful. That’s not to say I don’t have to put in the work! Paul sets the foundation, and Danny helps me apply everything. Danny is an incredibly kind and genuine guy who builds me up each session. He’s attentive and explains things in a way that my body intuitively understands. NRP has good vibes all around. It’s a place filled with intelligent, passionate, and genuine humans. If I could send every single person to NRP I would!

NRP has truly changed my life. I have had chronic back/neck pain since I was 13 years old, and chronic pain on top of being an athlete was completely debilitating. My pain was affecting every aspect of my life for years until I met Paul and Danny at NRP. They understand my situation and my body like no one else and have told me things that countless doctors, MRI’s, X-rays haven’t been able to. In high school I was a competitive athlete who would leave practice every day barely even able to walk, now thanks to Paul and Danny I am able to live a very full normal life doing all of the things I love to do including sports because of the way they approach every situation and help you understand where the issue is in your movements. They not only help fix any issues you are having but they help you maintain the feeling you get when you leave each day. I have spent half of my life in chronic pain and now feeling better each day is something I will forever be thankful to NRP for giving me!!

NRP is the best!! Due to major lower back problems, I had to completely stop golfing. Other physical therapists told me my back was too bad—they couldn’t help me. Now I’m playing 2-3 times a week. With no pain! NRP created a personalized plan for me. NRP I owe you!

I highly recommend NRP to anyone that wants to improve their physical well-being, whether you’re an athlete, have chronic issues causing severe pain and limitations to simple daily activities, or anything between. The trainers understand neuro muscular connectivity and training beyond most. I have been through countless physical therapist and forms of treatment over the last 20 years after suffering from a lumbar derangement (4 herniated discs). Matt at NRP has drastically improved my life - reduced chronic pain significantly, progression from limitations to basic daily activities to playing any sport that I desire, am living a happier more fulfilled life, and continuing to get stronger. I have seen them help pro athletes and many others with chronic issues. THANK YOU NRP! You improve our lives.

In March of this year, I experienced my third herniated disc, specifically the S1 (with L4 and L5 having troubled me previously). Unlike my earlier two herniations, this one brought not only intense back pain but also tingling and numbness coursing down my leg. It became excruciating to sit, stand, put on socks, or even shoes, and I found myself stumbling as I walked. The pain, on a scale of 1 to 10, was a relentless 9. Desperate for relief, I rushed to the ER where a battery of tests and scans revealed not just another herniation but also severe nerve damage causing foot drop. Surgery loomed on the horizon, but I was determined to explore alternative options. I consulted multiple physicians, tried various therapies, including massages, stimulation, chiropractic care, and stretching, but none seemed to make a significant difference. As time passed, the doctors' warnings grew graver: I had a mere 4-6 months to find a solution, or risk permanent nerve damage. It was during this precarious period that I reached out to Paul. On my initial visit, he delved into a thorough examination, asking insightful questions, assessing my movement, and palpating my muscles, nerves, and bones. Paul concurred with the previous diagnoses of herniation and nerve issues, but he offered something invaluable - hope. He assured me that we could bypass surgery and recover not only from the pain but also from the nerve damage. Surgery might provide immediate relief, but it wasn't the long-term solution. Paul enlightened me by explaining that the herniation was a symptom, not the root cause; it lay in my movement patterns. By focusing on the way I sit, stand, and walk, I could address the underlying problem to prevent it from recurring. When I embarked on this journey with Paul in April, my pain level hovered around a debilitating 9.5, and walking was a painful struggle. Fast forward 7 months, and I've steered clear of surgery, resumed playing recreational sports, and weightlifting multiple days a week. I've gained the ability to self-correct my posture and movement patterns, thanks to the invaluable insights and techniques I've learned from Paul and the NRP Protocol. If you're seeking to avoid surgery, gain a deeper understanding of how to avert future issues, and regain control of your movement, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Paul and the rest of the NRP team. Their expertise and commitment have truly been life changing.

Paul Matthews and his team have been amazing. Paul was able to determine my son’s injury within 5 minutes and even more impressive the treatment and rehab have been extremely effective. My son was back to his sport in a very short time and now has been coached on how to move and compete safely and is on the road to being stronger than ever. Prior to seeing Paul we had gone to regular physical therapy which was not going anywhere and actually compounding the issue. Paul is truly a nerve guru and his passion and expertise is unmatched. Danny has been instrumental in my son’s rehab being patient, encouraging and full of knowledge. Thank you!
