A virtual gem if you are patient and read carefully, practicing along the way. This text defies description bc it reaches farther than anyything available, hits the major components of bodymechanics in regard to stability, safety, performance! This trainer not only goes deeperand farther than the best trainers available to us, but makes you concious of the faulty ( as in leading to injury) positions of what we commonly think of as the best trainers. I had a serious hip problem of 21/2 yrs. which was compounded by serious degenerative disc disease seen on frightening xrays. Since following Kelly's protocols I am nearly pain free after less than a month. I am 77 and 5'1" 90 lbs. The more squats Zi do correctly the better I feel! Remember you have to read and practice in a mirror copying the "correct " poses! You will be surprized at what hard work and discipline can accomplish. ( I do the exercises w/o drugs or supplements of any kinds!

This is probably the most comprehensive and best mobility book out there covering a range of movement and mobility topics for both athletes and non-athletes. Highly recommended.

Big book (geared toward the pro), but useful if you really want to improve your mobility

I bought this book to just improve my hip mobility, but found so much information here, I have gone far beyond my hips. I have improved my hip mobility, my knees feel great (50-year old knees that have run several marathons in the past 5 years), and now I am working on my shoulders. I feel better and move better than I have in years (I also sleep better). My squat and deadlift have improved immensely, and now I am working on the pistol squat. I am going to nail that move!

One warning: This is a big technical book, that is more of a textbook than just your average fitness book. Geared toward coaches and trainers and physical therapists. But if I can find value here, so can others looking to improve mobility.

After years of weightlifting my shoulders were in bad shape and I had given up bench pressing, overhead pressing, dips and other pressing movements. I had seen a chiropractor for Active Release Therapy and Graston treatment and that helped but still didn't get me back all the way. I had heard of Dr. Starrett and when I saw the book and read some of the reviews I purchased the book and put it to use the same day I received it.

I gave the first part of the book a quick read and then moved to the treatment sections and started working hard on the areas of the upper body to start and the results have been terrific. While I still have a bit discomfort that is gradually decreasing as I continue the work on it. After the therapy work and reading Dr. Starrett's directions on how to properly Dip, I was able to perform Dips pain free for the first time in years.

I am now working on adding more techniques and re-reading the first part of the book more closely as it contains a lot of information how to move properly to both maximize efficiency as well as how to move properly to avoid pain and injury.

If you currently are dealing with pain you should get this book and jump into the section you need to work on.

If you are not dealing with pain but you exercise, weight lift, etc.. you should still get this book and start working on keeping yourself injury free.

Excellent. I discovered Kelly Starrett on his YouTube site and had to have the book. Second edition is about to come out and I would recommend it just based on how good the first edition is.

If you are into fitness, this is a must have.

If you have mobility or other physical issues, the last third of the book is invaluable. I pair the book with his videos for best results. The book helps me discover the the methodology more easily and then I can pinpoint my search of his Youtube channel for better instruction.

I have made more progress in addressing twenty year old physical problems in a few weeks than in all of the other modalities that I have used combined.
