Movement Vault: Stretching 4+

As a child I was a gymnast and really learned about my body and how it moves. My best workouts as an adult were in my 40s where I came across a physical therapy based workout program. But I moved away and now in my 60s, even though still active my joints and mobility showed some fatigue. I was really excited when 4 months ago I came across Movement Vault. The paid version is worth every penny. I just completed 111 days of daily workouts right after rolling out of bed in the morning and my body feels great. I can touch the floor when bending forward again, which I wasn’t able to do for my whole adult life I was so tight. My hips are feeling great even after 8-mile hikes and 165 miles of walking a month. And my shoulders are feeling strong and with greater reach when I swim my laps multiple times a week. I was disappointed when I was off the grid for 4 days and couldn’t do MV. But I’m back at it and loving it. Highly recommend. One of the very few apps I use every day. Thank you Dr. Grayson. You have made a huge difference in my life. PS. My daughter is loving the app too!

111 days of Movement Vault, amazing job! You are crushing it. Great to hear that you are seeing and feeling the benefits of the Movement Vault stretching app and our active stretching methodology. Your consistency is paying off and your body and joints are rewarding you for giving them exactly what they need. Big high five again! We have a saying that an effective proactive and preventative active stretching routine is just like brushing your teeth. Stretching is joint maintenance, just as brushing your teeth is tooth maintenance. We don't wait until we have a cavity to start brushing our teeth. In the same way we shouldn't wait to start stretching until our joints are extremely tight and we are dealing with pain. And we love to hear that your daughter is also caring for her body and joints with our active stretching mobility app. Give her a high five for us! Have fun and stay consistent.

About 10 weeks ago I ran a half marathon and could literally not walk by the end of it because of plantar fasciitis in one foot. I heard a podcast about this app and so signed up on the spot (paid version because I wanted everything). Since then I have completed the 8 week plantar fasciitis program and do the daily flows 4-5 days a week. My foot is so much better! I take that first step in the morning and I feel nothing! I reduced running a lot and also switched to a zero drop shoe, which may have helped. But the thing it’s not just my foot that’s better. Everything is better. I resumed track work about 3 weeks ago and am running faster than ever and nothing hurts! It’s like all my joints are just so happy (I’m in my 50s so this is a big deal). I cannot recommend this app enough, and the paid version is so worth the money. I’m excited to see how they expand it in the future - would love some more exercises with weights.

We love to hear it! Great to hear that you listened to a podcast with our founder Dr. Grayson Wickham. And greater to hear that you were able to fix your plantar fasciitis with your plantar fasciitis program and continue to be consistent with our daily stretching and mobility video classes. The fact that every joint feels better is amazing, This goes to show that incorporating active stretching for all your joints and muscles including your feet, ankles, hips, back, shoulders, and neck is the way to move and feel your best, all while fixing and preventing future pain and injury. Keep up the good work and stay consistent. Your body will continue to repay you for it.

This is the best app I have ever used and look forward to the workouts. I am 52, have chronic muscle pain from hyper mobility and am not very physically fit. This is the only program that has quickly targeted areas that I have had poor mobility and pain for years. I now hurt less and have been able to increase my exercise regimen without pain. Workouts are less than 20 min and challenging, so I am more likely to follow through. My daughter is a dancer and has also used the app with great results for hip opening and flexibility and she regularly sees a PT and has had equally, if not better, results with Movement Vault.

Great to hear that you are seeing and feeling the benefits of Movement Vault and that you are improving your mobility and stability in your hyper mobile joints. As you may know, static stretching can make hyper mobile joints even worse. This is why we only incorporate active stretching and muscle activation exercises, which are the most effective ways to improve hypermobility and improve over all joint mobility and stability. In addition to our new active stretching daily classes, we also have an 8-week hypermobility program. Stay consistent and you will continue to feel and move at your best.
