I severely injured my left foot and ankle 37 years ago. That incident left me without an arch on that foot. I didn't do physical therapy after the injury and continued to pursue my training in martial arts. I'll be 69 years old come September, and about 2 years ago I could hardly walk without experiencing constant pain in my foot. My podiatrist informed me I had scar tissue that had hardened around my ankle, a callous had formed where my arch had been that was rubbing on the bone that had supported my arch, and that was causing the pain. He recommended surgery to remove the callous. The surgery did alleviate the pain in my foot, but after a year of physical therapy I had little plantar or dorsal flexion in my foot, and pain if I even leaned laterally on that foot. I purchased Kelly's book a couple of months ago and was impressed by his approach to mobility. I decided to try the basic kit. After doing the couch stretch as a part of my daily maintenance the first few days I was elated to see a significant improvement in both the plantar and dorsal flexion of my foot, less pain in my ankle when I lean side to side. I can't perform the exercise in it's entirety yet, I can't lift the leg not on the wall into the 2nd position, I have to stay in the 1st position - for now. But just to be able to regain some ability to have plantar and dorsal flexion in that foot, and be able to bear more weight on that foot, as well as have a greater range of lateral movement for me is a blessing and very comforting sign of hope that by continuing my daily regimen I'll realize improvements I didn't think was possible.

Signed up for the 14-day trial and I’m hooked!

I love how Kelly is principle based and you don't need to know the full human anatomy to improve your own mobility and reduce pain.

After just two weeks, I am already noticing changes in my mobility and reduction in some painful areas thanks to the detailed and well-paced videos (what an archive!) on The Ready State. I have a feeling this is going to be a long and beautiful relationship. For those who want to dive deeper, I highly recommend reading Becoming a Supple Leopard as a companion. If you aren't sure, try the Hunchback to Human free e-book. That was what originally hooked me. You had me at Couch Stretch! - Gratefully, TC, aka The Anatomical Wreck.

After an old knee injury(right knee) and its partial rehab. I was doing strength and cardio workout regularly.But remained harassed by differences in strength, flexibility,knee joint ROM in right and left leg.I tried to overcome the problem by doing weighted single leg squat, SLDL, knee extension and flexion and flexibility exercises. Use of Wharton' single joint exercises and flexibility protocol to overcome the difference in strength and flexibility did help me to some extent but i could not continue or resume running due to limping right leg. After following guidelines mentioned in Supple Leopard and day to day learning through TRS membership i am steadily overcoming problems pertaining to the knee joint ,stiff rt ankle , stiff hams ,quads,lumber area and comparatively less active right gluet. Now,I am confident that I will resume running after completing my ongoing 8 weeks of strength training program with regular mobilization. I found mobilization using foam rolling,resistance and flossing bands, lacrosse balls etc.very very effective. Thanks

I love the options of this program. I enjoyed the 14 day free trial and made good use of it. I had trouble signing in where it said user name or e-mail. I chose a username and it wouldn’t let me sign in! I also couldn’t use the app. When I asked for help it was delivered quickly. And I received an additional free week on my trial for my troubles. Thank you!

love the videos, easy to follow along.

Can’t wait. TRS is the champ.
