FAQs
Will this help me be able to lift weight overhead without pain?
Sure! The goal isn’t to fix pain; seek out a medical provider if pain is limiting you in the gym. But the program is designed in a way to help break down why you have discomfort with certain exercises and progressively build you back up to doing what you want without limitations.
What if I have neck discomfort as well?
Thats okay! Always seek a medical professional if you are dealing with pain in the gym.. The exercises in this program are designed to improve movement in the entire upper quarter of the body (neck and shoulder areas). This is a safe program to start if stiffness in those areas are your issue!
What if I have questions about the workout or exercises?
No worries! There is a messaging board that goes directly to me (Dr. Bailey) that is available to you at all times. Ask away! We give a free week to the program to adjust and learn how to use the app to benefit you.

"After recent neck surgery, I had limited range of motion in my neck and shoulders and lost a lot of strength. Dr. Bailey designed this program for me to address these limitations and get back into shape. After just 6 weeks, my neck was actually stronger and my range of motion improved a lot!"
