Stop the Guesswork. StrongBody AI Helps You Find Exactly the Right Service.

The rhythmic thud-thud-thud of pile drivers echoing across the construction site in downtown Seattle usually served as a focusing mechanism for Michael Reynolds. At forty-five years old, Michael was a senior structural engineer for a major Pacific Northwest firm, a man whose mind operated in vectors, load paths, and safety factors. He could spot a shear wall reinforcement error from thirty feet away and recite the seismic building codes for Washington State by heart. But on this particular Tuesday in mid-March 2025, the construction noise only seemed to amplify the throbbing, hot wire of pain tracing a path from his lower lumbar spine down into his right hip.

Michael lived in a sprawling, craftsman-style home in Bellevue, a leafy and affluent suburb just across Lake Washington from Seattle. His life was a blueprint of upper-middle-class stability: a Toyota Tundra in the driveway, a wife who worked as a corporate attorney for a tech giant, and an eight-year-old daughter, Lily, who played travel soccer. Yet, the foundation of his physical well-being had been crumbling for eighteen months. It started innocuously enough—a dull, nagging stiffness after long days hunched over AutoCAD drawings in his home office or reviewing blueprints on wind-swept job sites. He ignored it, attributing it to age and the inevitable toll of a career that demanded both sedentary focus and active site inspections.

By early 2025, however, the dull ache had metastasized into sharp, breath-stealing spasms. The simple act of bending down to tie his steel-toed Red Wing boots in the morning required a strategic sequence of movements, bracing himself against the wall like an old man. Driving his truck from Bellevue to a site in Tacoma—a commute that could easily stretch to ninety minutes in I-5 traffic—left him hobbling for the first twenty minutes after he exited the cab.

He had tried the conventional routes, approaching his body with the same methodical mindset he applied to bridge retrofits. He utilized his premium PPO health insurance to see a physical therapist in a strip mall near his office. The sessions were generic: fifteen minutes of heat packs, ten minutes of unsupervised stretching while the therapist juggled three other patients, and a printed sheet of “core activation” exercises that seemed designed for someone recovering from a coma, not an active man in his forties. The relief was fleeting, lasting perhaps an hour after the appointment.

Frustrated by the lack of progress, he listened to a colleague who swore by a chiropractor in Redmond. Michael paid $450 out-of-pocket for an initial package, hoping the aggressive “adjustments” would realign whatever was wrong. instead, the high-velocity cracking left him feeling bruised and even more guarded, his muscles locking up in defense. Next came a sports massage therapist who dug elbows into his glutes for an hour ($120 per session), providing temporary endorphin releases but failing to address the root cause. Each attempt followed the same pattern: a Google search for “back pain near me,” a scan of star ratings that told him nothing about clinical expertise, a hopeful appointment, and a crushing realization weeks later that he had wasted time and money on a provider who treated him as a generic “lower back pain” code rather than an individual with specific biomechanical needs.

He sat at his granite kitchen island one rainy Saturday morning, the gray light of the Pacific Northwest filtering through the sliding glass doors. He had just tweaked his back again while trying to move a heavy planter box on the deck for his wife. An ice pack was strapped to his lumbar region, and his laptop was open to yet another directory of orthopedic specialists. The cursor hovered over a “Book Now” button for a clinic that boasted “laser therapy,” but his gut churned with skepticism. He was about to close the laptop in despair when he absentmindedly opened Facebook on his phone.

The algorithm, perhaps sensing his desperation or tracking his search history for “L4-L5 herniation,” served him an ad in a group dedicated to “Civil Engineers & Architects of the PNW.” It wasn’t a flashy graphic with stock photos of smiling doctors. It was a raw, handheld video of a site superintendent from Portland. The man, wearing a hard hat and high-vis vest, was talking to the camera from the cab of his truck. He described how he had finally resolved a debilitating rotator cuff issue that had threatened his career. “I stopped guessing,” the man said. “I used a platform where I could send my actual MRI reports and work description, and get proposals from guys who actually understand construction injuries. No more driving across town for a sales pitch.”

The link below the video read: https://strongbody.ai.

Michael clicked.

The website that loaded was starkly different from the cluttered, ad-heavy portals of local clinics. It was clean, minimalist, and professional. The copy promised a new model of healthcare consumption: “Precision matching, transparent proposals, escrow-secured payments.” It appealed to the engineer in him—a system designed to eliminate variables and ensure quality control.

Registration took exactly four minutes and twelve seconds. He entered his email, chose a secure password, and verified his identity via a One-Time Password sent to his iPhone. The onboarding process felt less like a medical intake and more like a consulting brief. The first screen asked him to tag his primary interests. He selected “Chronic Pain Management,” “Orthopedics,” “Physical Therapy,” “Sports Medicine,” and “Spine Health.”

The next step was to build his “Personal Care Team.” The platform presented him with broad categories: WELLNESS DAILY, FITNESS & MOVEMENT, MEDICAL EXPERTS, and THERAPY EXPERTS. Michael selected specialists in Physical Therapy, Orthopedic-focused Rehabilitation, Chronic Pain Management, and Movement Assessment. As he clicked “Find Matches,” the Smart Matching engine began its work. Behind the user interface, complex algorithms were scanning hundreds of thousands of verified profiles, filtering for providers who had specific metadata tags related to occupational back injuries, biomechanical analysis, and high patient satisfaction scores in the 40-55 age demographic.

In under ninety seconds, his dashboard populated with a shortlist of recommended experts. At the very top was Dr. Nathan Brooks, a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) and certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist based in Denver, Colorado. His profile didn’t just list his degree; it highlighted twelve years of experience specifically focusing on spinal mechanics in populations that alternated between sedentary desk work and heavy manual labor.

Michael clicked on Dr. Brooks’s profile. A “Voice Intro” button pulsed gently. He clicked it.

“Hi, I’m Dr. Nathan Brooks,” the voice was clear, confident, and empathetic. “I specialize in working with engineers, architects, and site managers—people whose jobs demand precision but often create the structural imbalances that lead to persistent pain. If you’re tired of generic core exercises and want to map your specific movement patterns to build a plan that actually holds up on the job site, let’s talk.”

It was as if the man had read Michael’s mind.

Below Dr. Brooks was another strong candidate: Sarah Jenkins, a functional movement specialist based in Austin, Texas, whose profile emphasized “corrective exercise protocols for structural asymmetries.”

Michael returned to Dr. Brooks’s service page. The transparency was refreshing. There were three clearly defined options. The first was a “90-Minute Initial Movement & Pain Analysis” priced at $225. The second was a “4-Week Corrective Program” with weekly check-ins for $550. The third was an ongoing maintenance subscription. Each listing was detailed to an obsessive degree. The 90-minute analysis promised a video-based posture review, range-of-motion testing via webcam, a breakdown of how findings translated into exercise prescription, and integration of any existing imaging. There were high-resolution photos of Dr. Brooks demonstrating the virtual assessment setup, proving that remote analysis could be just as rigorous as in-person visits.

The reviews sealed the deal. A 47-year-old project manager from Chicago wrote: “After two failed rounds of PT at a local chain, I sent Nathan my daily routine and pain triggers. His first analysis spotted a leg-length discrepancy compounding my desk posture—no one else had connected those dots. Six weeks later, I’m walking job sites without even thinking about my back.”

Michael paused. The mention of leg length triggered a memory. Years ago, during a routine physical for life insurance, a nurse had mentioned his right leg seemed slightly shorter than his left—maybe a quarter of an inch. He had ignored it then, but now, reading the review, the pieces began to click.

Still, the skepticism of eighteen months of failure lingered. He wasn’t ready to drop $225 on a “maybe.” He noticed a button labeled “Send Private Request” on the service page. He clicked it, opening a detailed submission form. This was his chance to define the scope of work before hiring the contractor.

In the description field, Michael wrote with the precision of a technical report:

“45-year-old structural engineer. Chronic lower back pain for 18 months, exacerbated by prolonged sitting (>4 hours) or bending/lifting. Sharp, shooting pain in the right L4-L5 region when transitioning from sit-to-stand. Previous physical therapy focused on generic ‘core strengthening’ with zero lasting improvement. Chiropractic adjustments were too forceful and increased inflammation. I suspect a mild leg-length discrepancy (right shorter by approx 8mm, noted in 2018 but never treated). Daily routine involves 6-8 hours of desk work followed by site walks on uneven terrain wearing steel-toe boots. I am seeking a detailed biomechanical assessment and a targeted correction plan. I am hesitant to commit to a long-term package without understanding the root cause. I can provide video of my posture and movement, as well as X-rays from 2024.”

He propped his phone against a stack of books on the kitchen counter and recorded two quick videos: one of himself attempting a forward bend (his fingertips barely passing his knees) and one showing his standing posture from behind, shirtless, to show the alignment of his spine. He attached these files to the request and hit “Send.”

The request landed instantly in Dr. Brooks’s secure inbox in Denver.

Less than two hours later, Michael was in his home office, trying to focus on a seismic retrofit plan for a viaduct, when his phone buzzed. It was a notification from the StrongBody app: New Message from Dr. Nathan Brooks.

He opened the app. It wasn’t a generic auto-reply. It was a 45-second voice message.

“Michael, thanks for the detailed background and the videos—they are incredibly helpful,” Dr. Brooks said. “I watched the posterior view, and I can already see the pelvic tilt you’re referencing. That 8mm discrepancy might seem small, but over eighteen years of site walking and desk sitting, it creates a massive cumulative shear force on that L4-L5 segment. Standard core work won’t fix that because the foundation is uneven. I’d like to propose we stick to the 90-minute analysis first. We’ll do a real-time assessment via Zoom, measure the functional impact of that leg length, and I’ll show you exactly how to de-load that side. If you’re open to it, I have a slot this Tuesday at 7 PM your time. Let me know, and I’ll generate a formal Offer.”

Michael played the message twice. The specificity was intoxicating. No “come in and we’ll see.” No vague promises. Just data and a hypothesis.

He typed back immediately: “Tuesday at 7 PM works perfectly. Please send the Offer.”

Within minutes, the formal “Offer” appeared in his B-Messenger chat. It was a digital contract, laying out the terms clearly:

Service: 90-Minute Biomechanical Analysis & Initial Protocol.
Deliverables: 30-min history review, 40-min active assessment, 20-min protocol design, custom video library access.
Cost: $225.
Terms: Funds held in escrow by StrongBody AI. Released only after the session is completed and the user confirms satisfaction.
Guarantee: Includes one 15-minute follow-up call within 7 days for clarification.

Michael clicked “Accept” and paid via the stored credit card on his profile. The transaction was seamless, the funds moving into the platform’s secure holding account.

Tuesday evening arrived. The house was quiet; Lily was at practice, and his wife was working late. Michael set up his laptop on the dining room table, pushing the chairs back to create space. At 7:00 PM sharp, the video link activated.

Dr. Brooks appeared, wearing a polo shirt with his clinic’s logo, standing in a well-lit, professional therapy space equipped with a treatment table and skeletal models.

“Good evening, Michael,” he said. “Let’s get to work.”

The session was intense. Dr. Brooks didn’t just watch; he directed. “Okay, turn ninety degrees to your left. Now, slowly hinge at the hips. Stop. Do you feel that catch in the right hip?”

“Yes,” Michael grimaced. “Right there.”

“Okay, come back up. Now, I want you to grab a hardcover book—about a quarter-inch thick. Place it under your right heel and do that same movement again.”

Michael found a cookbook, placed it under his right foot, and repeated the hinge. The sharp catch was gone. It was replaced by a dull stretch, but the biting pain was absent.

“Physics,” Dr. Brooks smiled. “You’ve been driving a car with one flat tire for a decade. Your body has compensated by hiking that right hip, which compresses the lumbar spine on that side. Every time you do a ‘core exercise’ without leveling the hips, you’re just strengthening the dysfunction.”

For the rest of the session, they mapped out a plan. Dr. Brooks recommended a specific type of heel lift insert—starting conservatively at 6mm—and taught Michael three specific exercises: a glute medius activation drill to stabilize the pelvis, a dynamic hamstring lengthening sequence tailored for his desk chair, and a breathing technique to reduce the anterior pelvic tilt that happened when he drove the truck.

By the time the call ended, Michael wasn’t just hopeful; he was equipped. A notification popped up on his screen: Dr. Brooks has shared a folder with you. Inside was a Google Drive link containing four custom-filmed videos of Dr. Brooks performing the exact exercises they discussed, a printable PDF weekly schedule, and a spreadsheet for tracking pain levels on a 1-10 scale.

Michael went to his dashboard and marked the session “Completed.” The system asked for a rating. He gave five stars and wrote: “Finally, someone who understands the mechanics. The assessment was bespoke and actionable.” Fifteen days later, the $225 would be released to Dr. Brooks, ensuring the provider remained available for any follow-up questions during the assurance window.

Two weeks later, Michael felt a shift. The heel lift in his Red Wings had changed his gait, making him feel taller and more balanced. The sharp twinges had dulled to a background noise. Encouraged, but knowing he needed a longer-term strategy to fully rehabilitate the area, he decided to use the “Public Request” feature.

He navigated to the request board and typed: “Civil engineer with chronic right-sided low back pain linked to confirmed leg-length discrepancy. Initial assessment complete. Now seeking a 12-week integrated plan combining remote corrective exercise programming and guidance on orthotics. Prefer providers with experience in occupational spinal health and heavy industry.”

The AI Matching engine analyzed the keywords—”leg-length,” “orthotics,” “occupational health,” “remote programming”—and broadcast the anonymized request to a highly selective group of specialists across the US and UK whose profiles matched these criteria.

Within 48 hours, four distinct Offers landed in his inbox.

The first was from a Sports Chiropractor in Chicago offering a 12-week remote rehab program for $900, emphasizing “mobility flow.” The second was from an Orthotic Specialist in Seattle proposing a custom consultation for inserts only. The third was from Dr. Brooks himself, offering to expand their initial work into a comprehensive 3-month coaching pathway for $1,200.

But the fourth offer caught Michael’s eye. It was from Sarah Jenkins, the functional movement specialist in Austin he had seen earlier. Her proposal was titled “The Hybrid Industrial Athlete Program.”

The offer details were impressive. She proposed a 12-week program specifically designed for people in heavy industry. It included:

Bi-weekly video check-ins.
A customized app-based program where Michael would upload videos of his form for critique.
A specific module on “Job Site Ergonomics”—how to climb ladders, enter crawl spaces, and review plans without loading the spine.
Collaboration with a local podiatrist in Bellevue (she provided a referral) to get custom orthotics made, which she would then integrate into the rehab plan.
Total Cost: $1,050.

Michael was intrigued. He used the B-Messenger feature to send Sarah a voice note. “Hi Sarah, I like the proposal. Specifically, how do you handle the days when I’m stuck at a desk for 10 hours versus the days I’m walking a site? The pain triggers are different.”

Her reply came twenty minutes later. “Great question, Michael. We build ‘A’ days and ‘B’ days. On desk days, your programming focuses on hip opening and thoracic extension to reverse the hunch. On site days, we focus on isometric stability and decompression to handle the boots and the terrain. You tell the app which day it is, and the program adjusts.”

That level of adaptability was exactly what he needed. He accepted Sarah’s offer. The $1,050 was moved into escrow, set to be released in three monthly tranches as the program milestones were met.

Over the next three months, Michael’s life underwent a quiet revolution. The daily discipline of the program, supported by Sarah’s feedback on his form videos (“Michael, your ribcage is flaring on that deadbug, tuck it down”), began to rewrite his movement patterns. He learned to reset his pelvic position every ninety minutes at his desk using a simple timer. He discovered that the way he got in and out of his truck was contributing to the rotation in his spine, and he fixed it.

By month five, the pain episodes had vanished. He drove to a site inspection in Portland—three hours in traffic—and stepped out of the truck without a single groan. He bent down to inspect a foundation rebar cage, squatting deeply with perfect form, and stood back up with the power of his glutes, not his lower back.

The transformation wasn’t just physical. The mental load of constant, low-grade pain had evaporated. He had more patience with Lily’s homework. He had the energy to cook dinner on weekends. And crucially, he had stopped second-guessing his medical choices.

Six months after that first click, Michael sat in his office. A colleague, a younger engineer named David, walked in rubbing his shoulder. “Man, this drafting is killing my neck. I think I need to find a massage therapist or something. Do you know anyone?”

Michael smiled. He didn’t just give a name. He turned his monitor around. “Don’t guess, Dave. Stop wasting money on ‘maybe.’ Look at this.”

He pulled up StrongBody.ai. “You put in exactly what you feel. You upload a video of how you sit. And you get proposals from people who actually know how to fix ‘drafter’s neck.’ I used a guy in Denver and a woman in Austin. I’ve never met them in person, and they fixed what three local doctors couldn’t.”

StrongBody AI had done for Michael what he did for buildings: it analyzed the structural failure, identified the load imbalances, and engineered a precise, targeted solution. It removed the friction of geography and the opacity of the traditional referral system. It turned a patient from a passive recipient of generic care into an active project manager of their own health.

Across the United States, similar stories were unfolding in quiet rooms and busy offices. A 52-year-old school principal in Boston sent a Public Request for menopausal sleep disruption and received five tailored offers from sleep optimization and hormone specialists, choosing one after comparing detailed protocols side-by-side. A freelance photographer in Los Angeles detailed his repetitive-strain wrist pain with sample images of his editing setup and selected from four hand-therapy-focused physiotherapists, eventually working with an expert in London.

Each person moved from the anxiety of uncertainty and the drain of costly mismatches to the clarity of results. Because StrongBody AI placed precise, validated information in the hands of precisely the right experts—before the first dollar ever cleared the bank. For Michael Reynolds, the engineer, it was the most structurally sound decision he had ever made.
