Paul Matthews

Founder + CEO

Formally trained by the Rolf Institute of Structural Integration in 2010, Paul has been healing thousands of clients through neuro-muscular alignment and strength coaching.

After injuries from playing high school football caused Paul to undergo two spinal surgeries, he was left with chronic neurological back and leg pain.

Traditional "western" medicine pain management approaches and physical therapy left Paul without good answers or solutions. 

Paul knew there was a better way.
He just had to invent it...

Paul poured himself into the study of movement, soft tissue-related disciplines and alternative therapies like massage, myofascial release, acupuncture, cupping and cryotherapy, etc. 

NRP was born out of Paul’s journey from living with chronic pain to becoming not only the fittest in his entire life now in his 40's, he is a highly sought after movement and neuro-health expert, sharing his gift with clients.

Danny Passeri

Movement Specialist + Trainer

Danny's journey started with a stress fracture between L5 and S1 that sidelined him for his high school football season and became a chronic issue.  After seeing multiple physical therapists, chiropractors, and other bodyworkers, his pain was only temporarily lessened and would come back stronger.

For almost 4 years, his pain gradually increased until he found Paul Matthews.  Within two one-hour sessions, his pain dramatically decreased and he gained access to muscles and power he never felt before.  Over the process of 6 months at NRP, his pain was gone and he was moving better than ever.

Danny experienced direct healing and a transformed body through the NRP system and decided to make healing and training people his life's work. 

With his undergraduate degree in kinesiology at UIC and his NRP training, Danny creates individualized protocols for his clients to re-wire their bodies for balance, strength and performance. Danny is also training in massage therapy and toward a licensed NRP bodyworker.

Ray Neylon

Movement Specialist + Trainer

With a Bachelor in Exercise Science from the University of Illinois Chicago and years of training athletes and earning his Level 1 CrossFit Training certificate, Ray found his spot at NRP.

You grow through, what you go through” is something Ray Neylon has adapted to throughout his career.

Ray developed his passion and love for how the body works at a pretty early age. He comes from an athletic background, with football as his main sport, and that is where he suffered multiple knee injuries. A blessing in disguise in a way for Ray, as he has had 5 surgeries on his left knee but through those procedures is where he found his passion for exercise science. This passion developed a certain discipline that he acquired and applied to his everyday life through his training, nutrition, and mindset. With these attributes, he portrays a positive and uplifting attitude towards each and every person he works with.

Achieving pain-free movement and helping others feel better in their bodies is one of the main things Ray strives for with his clients as he has gone through that himself. No matter where you are on your fitness journey, Ray is here to guide you to success. Movement is Medicine.

Clayton Petrasek

Clayton's journey started freshman year of high school when he joined the gymnastics team at Deerfield High School. Starting with no experience or knowledge, in one year he ended up going to the state competition for the rings apparatus. By senior year, Clayton became a state champion on the rings apparatus and was named captain of the team, bringing the organization their first ever team state championship as well. He then went on to compete for the University of Iowa Club team, where he got his bachelor degree in exercise science with a minor in nutrition.

Gymnastics has opened doors for him in the fitness world and has sparked his love and passion for movement of all sorts. Clayton is also an NASM certified personal trainer and he has been a gymnastics coach for 5 years now, working with athletes of all ages. Having to fight through many tedious injuries from gymnastics, Clayton has developed a very disciplined and focused mindset regarding training smart in a very high injury rate sport. He hopes to bring this mindset to every person he works with, no matter what their goals are.

With his extensive background in Coaching, calisthenics, flexibility, mobility, and gymnastics, Clayton is eager to learn and grow as much as possible with NRP, bringing the knowledge that he has learned from gymnastics, to NRP and to all clients.
