Align Pain Management

Coach Andrea was awesome during my 6 months. She went above and beyond to bring greater mobility and strength to my shoulder. I love how Align offers online options, and Coach Jaylee was nominated by her clients and community members as best trainer in 2023. The staff genuinely care for the whole person health of their clientele. I highly recommend Align especially if pain or injury is hindering doing what you love!

Align is my “go to” place for taking care of ME and finding balance in my week. The coaches are excellent at prescribing just enough challenge without risking injury. They are positive and encouraging. I am grateful to have this resource in our community.

Align Pain Management eliminated my pain and helped me regain mobility, strength, and confidence in my body. I had spent years treating symptoms of a chronic condition that eventually led to extreme pain and loss of function. Matthew and Jaylee Lister were able to quickly and confidently identify my systemic problem. Their custom, multi-step program has allowed me to build stability and strengthen the muscles that let me walk, exercise, play with my daughter, and most importantly live a life free of pain and restriction. Their work is nothing short of a miracle and feel blessed to be part of their community.

Align was life changing for me! I came to Align as a 30 something starting to feel major limitations in exercise without a true clue as how to fix my problem. Align coaches successfully pinpointed the issue and helped restore my functioning. I’m SO grateful!! Life changing! On top of that, I also felt so welcomed by staff and as if they truly cared about my health. Align is now helping most of my friends in Redding with pain problems!

I am amazed by the wonderful community and environment Coach Matthew & Coach Jaylee have built at Align. They are so knowledgeable and each member of their team is dynamic and committed to helping you achieve your goals. Align is an excellent place to learn to take care of your body and become strong for the rest of your life.

I started at Align several months ago and am really happy with the improvement I've already seen in my body. I have a history of migraines, and since working with Coach Jaylee, I have had less migraines and have become stronger and able to do things that would have caused a lot of pain in my body in the past.

I am so thankful for the expertise Matthew, Jaylee, and each of their coaches have. It's wonderful to have them in Redding!

Best investment I’ve ever made in my physical health!

Matthew, Jaylee, and the team are masters at understanding underlying causes (no band-aid approaches here). They won’t only help get you get out of pain, they’ll equip you with tools so you can keep yourself out of pain, and moving towards greater strength.

We worked through the underlying causes of the hip and knee pain I was experiencing, then got to explore greater fitness goals. I got further and lifted more weight in a year than I ever thought my body was capable of!

They got me out of focusing on my pain and limitation (physically and mentally), and instead got me focused on my fitness dreams and what I’m capable of.

Jaylee and Matthew and their team are invaluable. I have not only been able to climb out of chronic pain myself, but I have been able to assist some of my own Midwifery patients out of pain using the concepts they have pioneered.

I am consistently amazed by their level of expertise, their excellence in education and communication, and the deep care they have for their clients. If you are struggling with anything ranging from insecurity about your body's capability to severe chronic pain that feels hopeless... this is THE place to go. I can promise you- if you trust the process you WILL see results.

I do also want to give a shoutout to the fun and engaging environment and culture they have set within the gym. It's supportive, so safe for even the most timid of us exercisers, and encouraging. The amount of times my form has been complimented and cheered on in this gym is so reassuring! Matthew and Jaylee have truly created a business that models excellence and honor of everyone in the gym- the clients, the coaches, even the admin staff. You can see it on the faces of everyone involved, with the coaches playing and joking and supporting each other fluidly. As a business owner myself I am deeply impressed by the way they conduct themselves both professionally and personally, and what they have created WORKS. It's been a blast working with them so far; I am so thankful I found them.

An absolutely amazing, beautiful, and updated facility with an even more amazing staff. This space is beyond welcoming and feels more like a family then a gym. The trainers, as well as the owner Matthew, care so deeply about the well-being of their clients and have worked miracles with pain management. The testimonies speak for themselves. I will always reccomend Align.

Where can I even begin? I have been absolutely blown away by Align Pain Management and by the way Matthew and Jaylee run this gym. This has been an incredible and truly a life-changing experience for me thus far. Their holistic approach to health has been so refreshing and literally healing to my body. My experience with chiropractors and physical therapists over the years has been that they simply put a metaphorical Band-Aid over your area of pain instead of actually dealing with the root issues. So I’ve experienced some momentary relief from pain but it never lasts. Jaylee and Matthew do things differently at Align and they look at your entire body and nervous system to see where the root issues are coming from and they work holistically to create a new foundation in which you can build upon. I have noticed a tangible difference in my pain levels since going to Align. I have had chronic back pain for several years due to a back injury and within several short months of attending Align, I am seeing actual results. I used to not be able to fly on a plane for very long without experiencing extreme back pain and needing to use a lumbar pillow to support my back. I recently took several different flights from the West Coast to the East Coast and it didn’t dawn on me until later that I never once even had to pull my lumbar pillow out of my backpack and didn’t have any back pain at all. *insert crying emoji* I am so incredibly grateful and thankful for Align and for Jaylee and Matthew! Not only is their holistic approach to health changing so many peoples lives for the better, but also who they are as people has a lasting impact as well. You can tell that to them this is not just a business, but that they actually care about people being the best and healthiest versions of themselves and thriving. The environment at Align is filled with so much hope, joy, and love. I am so grateful. Thank you, Align! And thank you, Jaylee and Matthew!

I’ve been a member at Align for several months now and have had a very positive experience. The coaches are genuine, realistic and care about the whole person. It’s an uplifting, encouraging and fun atmosphere that Align intentionally cultivates.

Align is a gym filled with people that fight for you and your health. They have helped me get out of pain from injuries and the wear and tear of a desk job. They have also taught me how to care for my body so that they don't actually become a crutch but so that I can become empowered. Go see this team! They will build you up and strengthen you!

As a physical therapist in Redding I’ve worked with multiple clients that have given raving reviews of Align. After seeing their system myself in think this is a great option for clients dealing with chronic pain in its nuance and complexity. Our world needs more places that take a compressive look at recovery and rehab. Good job Align!

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.

I'm a 76 yr old woman who has engaged in a lifetime of exercising, including various types of dance. Over the past 30 yrs I've struggled with lower back spasms that were debilitating and interfered with my ability to travel with confidence. I participated in physical therapy at various times and found it helpful, but I never went away with a whole-body exercise program that prevented the return of the issue.

Because I found that I was unable to solve the issue on my own I decided to have a free consultation with an Align Studio coach to discuss my issue and possible causes. At the time of the interview I was of the opinion that lack of strength was not my problem because I was physically strong in a number of ways. During the consult it was pointed out to me that lack of strength was indeed my issue, that I had been strengthening incorrect muscles for a strong and comfortable low back experience.

Consequently, I signed up to work with a coach and have been happily and successfully participating in the Align method for nearly six months. I am developing strength in all the correct ways now, and the quality of my daily body mechanics is steadily improving after decades of mis-use and misalignment.

I HIGHLY recommend Align Studios and its knowledgeable, responsive, fun and friendly coaches for anyone wishing to learn about body mechanics, their roll in generating a comfortable body experience, and exercise methods to develop the body in sustaining ways that lead to freedom from pain and diminished function.

Align Gym literally blew me away. This place is the middle ground btw physical therapists, doctors and surgeons, and is powered by people who have been at the mercy of all three. If you’re in chronic pain these guys have the experience and the grit to help you cut a path of escape that ends in legitimate healing.
The range of knowledge, expertise and compassion I’ve experience from their team has been astronomical! They exceeded my expectations completely.

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 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!

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!

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.

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!
