3.5/5
1 book reviewed · 3.5 avg
A comprehensive but overwhelming mobility guide that delivers valuable insights for serious athletes willing to invest significant time in mastering Starrett's systematic approach to movement optimization.
What works
• Systematic approach to movement assessment and correction with clear hierarchy of mobility interventions
• Emphasizes self-assessment and self-treatment tools, reducing dependence on healthcare professionals for routine maintenance
• Preventative approach that addresses root causes of dysfunction before injuries occur, rather than just treating symptoms
• Logical exercise progressions that build from simple joint mobility to integrated movement patterns with clear positioning cues
What doesn't
• Overwhelming volume of techniques with hundreds of exercises across multiple categories makes prioritization difficult
• Comprehensive format requires significant time investment to master compared to more streamlined approaches
