Hey friend, it’s Dr. Kelly Starrett.
In case you’re new here, I’m a movement and mobility coach for players in the NFL, MLB, NHL, and NBA, Olympic gold medalists, and other world-class athletes. (And I’m also a Doctor of Physical Therapy.)
Over the past decade, I’ve spent more than 150,000 hours training athletes of all types. I’ve worked with everyone from elite professionals setting world records to everyday weekend warriors. I even wrote a book about movement, mechanics, and mobility called Becoming a Supple Leopard. It made the New York Times bestseller list and has sold over half a million copies.
I’ve had a great career so far, and I’m grateful for that every day. But unfortunately it also means I simply don’t have the time to work with everyone who reaches out to me anymore.
That’s why I created The Ready State Virtual Mobility Coach. It’s like having a virtual Kelly Starrett in your pocket. And it’s already helped tens of thousands of people resolve pain, prevent injury, and improve their physical performance.
So if you’re struggling with nagging pain…if poor range-of-motion is holding back your workouts…or even if you’re just trying to survive the modern workplace and the poor posture it creates…you’re in the right place! And I invite you to claim your 14-day free trial of TRS Virtual Mobility Coach.
See you inside!
Whether you have a tweak, pinching pain, or nagging hotspot, TRS Virtual Mobility Coach can help. Just point to the area that hurts on a handy diagram of the human body. We’ll give you a personalized MobilityRX™. These “pain prescriptions” are designed by Dr. Kelly Starrett himself.
“I used The Ready State Virtual Mobility Coach every day in my training leading up to both Olympics and still use it today.”
Get customized pre- and post-exercise mobilizations based on your training and sports schedule. Each guided mobilization sequence is hand-picked by Kelly and personalized for you, based on the activity you select. That way you’ll be ready to smash your PRs and recover so fast, you won’t even be sore the next day.
“The Ready State Virtual Mobility Coach changed my life. Starrett’s work is brilliant yet simple.”
Our motto is that you should mobilize 10 minutes a day — every day. So we created a daily maintenance option for you to use on days when you’re not training or in pain. Daily maintenance allows you to restore your range of motion on your “off” days to help prevent pain and injury.
Every day, we give you a featured follow-along mobilization video. And you can also access a library of 10-, 20-, and 30-minute mobilizations developed by Kelly. You can filter the library by length based on how much time you have and how much work you want to do. And you can filter it by the body parts targeted in each mobilization, too. Plus to help you relax and recover, the Daily Maintenance videos have functional music powered by Brain.fm. The soundtrack is tuned to activate the “resting” state of your mind (called your “parasympathetic nervous system”).
“When you're working with National- and World-Champion athletes, you need every advantage to keep them performing at their best. That's why we use The Ready State Virtual Mobility Coach. It helps our skaters train smarter, recover faster, and come back even better the next day.”
The Ready State app lets you access your Virtual Mobility Coach subscription from anywhere. It’s available for iOS, Android, and Amazon Fire tablets. With the app, you can…
Sync videos for offline playback.
Switch videos to audio-only mode so you can listen without watching.
Instantly pick up where you left off.Automatically resume each video wherever you stopped last.
Stream Audio & Video to your Apple TV, Chromecast, Car Stereo, or Bluetooth speakers.
“I have been following TRS Virtual Mobility Coach religiously these past few years. I have literally seen my performance improve and my pain and injuries go away. This is the best money I have ever spent.”
"One video has instantly transformed my squat!"
“I have been using TRS Virtual Mobility Coach programming for over a year and it has truly changed my life…[It] has allowed me to become a self sufficient mechanic on my own body and continue to train the way I love (better than I could before my injuries!)”
When you sign up for your 7-day free trial, you will create a username and password. This will give you access to our private member’s area. From the member’s area homepage, you can see all your Ready State courses and content — including Virtual Mobility Coach. Simply click on the Virtual Mobility Coach icon in the member’s area to access your mobilizations.
First, if you are in pain, that should be your top priority. When you get to the start page for the Virtual Mobility Coach, select the “I’m in pain or injured” option. You will then see a diagram of the human body where you can select your problem area. From there, your Virtual Mobility Coach will give you personalized mobilizations to help relieve your pain. We’ll also help you understand the mechanisms behind your pain, so you can resolve it sooner and better.
If you’re not in pain, you have two more ways to customize your mobility practice. You can choose the best one based on your training and sports schedule.
When you exercise, you can use our pre- and post-workout mobilizations. From the Virtual Mobility Coach start page, select the “I’m playing a sport or exercising” option. Then select whether you want a pre- or post-workout mobilization. Finally, choose from a list of more than four dozen sports, lifts, movements, and other activities. Your Virtual Mobility Coach will then share a customized mobilization sequence based on the options you selected.
Last, if you don’t have an activity to prepare for (or recover from), you can use our daily maintenance option. It gives you a featured mobility video for the day to help you maintain your range of motion and prevent injury. But you can also choose from a library of maintenance videos that are 10, 20, and 30 minutes long. You can filter the videos in the library by length and the body parts targeted in the mobilization, too.
Since we began The Mobility Project in 2008, our motto has been 10 minutes a day — every day. And with the Virtual Mobility Coach, that hasn’t changed. We recommend you set aside at least 10-15 minutes per day to work on your mobility and range of motion.
As long as you’re getting your 10 minutes per day, the location and timing don’t matter as much. Here are a few suggestions from the users we see have the best results, though:
During the first seven days of your subscription, we will share mobilizations you can do without equipment. So don’t worry if you don’t have any of the gear you need on hand to start.
But like almost every sport or activity, working on your mobility does require some basic equipment — like a foam roller and a few lacrosse balls. At the beginning of your trial, we will share a complete list of gear requirements and recommendations with you. That way you can order anything you need before your trial ends.
To be blunt, stretching is not an effective way to restore your body’s range of motion. When you follow traditional stretching practices, all you do is passively pull on your tissues. But it turns out there is a lot more to restoring full range of motion than that.
First, stretching doesn’t get your brain involved. And even if your body has full range of motion, you don’t have true “mobility” until your brain develops the motor control to actually express that range of motion. Also, unlike mobilizing, stretching does not look at your body as a system. It neglects key factors like your joints and sliding surfaces.
Mobility takes a systems approach to restoring your range of motion. It accounts for all the varied ways your body can lose its natural ability to move. Mobilizing restores your joints, sliding surfaces, soft tissue, and even blood flow. Plus it helps you develop the motor control you need to express that range of motion in your daily life.
When you mobilize, you should see observable, measurable, and repeatable improvements in your range of motion. That’s why we take a “Test/Re-Test” approach.
Before you mobilize, we will often ask you to test your range of motion. And we always encourage you to do it on your own, even if you’re not prompted by the video. Then after you mobilize, you should re-test that same range of motion. We believe that if you can’t see or experience change, then you really didn’t change anything. It should be that obvious.
We understand this is an important question, though. So we’ve also provided a detailed assessment video in the members area for your TRS Virtual Mobility Coach subscription.
The biggest difference is that you will be able to customize your daily mobility work for what’s happening in your life. Many of our M|WOD Pro subscribers felt there was a disconnect between our old one-size-fits-all model and their day-to-day activities. For example, we would have an overhead mobilization on a day they were deadlifting. Or our daily mobilization would focus on the big toe, when they had elbow pain.
With The Ready State Virtual Mobility Coach, you can enjoy hundreds of new videos and a fully updated website experience. That includes three new options for customizing your mobility practice, which we outlined above.
