Dr. Kelly Starrett: Mobility & The Ready State (Rebroadcast)
06/18/21 • 48 min
REBROADCAST: The basics of mobility often go unnoticed until nagging pain and discomfort arise. Musculoskeletal pain is a very common complaint of many patients. Rather than treating that pain with medication, what if a simple mobility technique could fix the mechanics that caused it? Dr. Kelly Starrett has revolutionized the way we assess and treat common aches and pains by developing a program called The Ready State. His years of working with elite, professional athletes gives him a unique perspective on how to deal with common everyday musculoskeletal issues.
In this episode, Dr. Starrett lays out a simple plan that clinicians can use every day to assess and treat their patients with pain. He also discusses some strategies for those with desk-based jobs trying to survive the modern workplace and outlines the basics of good posture.
