Simplistic Mobility Method Reviews

For the first time in 2 months I am hip and thigh pain free, thanks Tom

I have SMM and will start after shifting this migraine but just wanted to say thanks 😘. I can't remember what they are called but they are the lunges off the sofa which I saw on youtube.

OMG!! Even after the first set I felt the difference and could stand up taller with no pulling on the thighs like usual, even my chronic knee pain has reduced significantly.

Bye bye chiropractor as this has done more in 2 days than she's done in 6 months

Edit: I can also lay without pain in the hammock now too

First week complete. Three attempts at SMM - very challenging and a lot of work to do.

However I am totally gobsmacked - rode my horses today and for the first time that I can remember in a very long time my stirrups felt even - usually the left feels much longer -  my hips and pelvis were free and it was just easier, felt many years younger.

My horses both wish to add their gratitude - no longer is my stiffness blocking their ability to move and I can once again assist them to move straighter and better. 

This was totally unexpected after such a short time - I still cannot quite believe it.

I have tried pilates, running, physio exercise classes etc over the years and nothing, I repeat nothing has had the results so quickly, it makes you want to carry on and try harder instead of giving up.

Thank you Tom and Jenni from me and my equine pals.

Around 14 months ago I lived everyday in constant pain from my right butt down to my right foot. 

I also had other niggles that I ignorantly put down to age old wear and tear. 

I’d gone from enjoying the things in life that made me happy such as hiking, mountain biking, bouldering and training in the gym. To some that could be not standing up without horrendous pain. 

I spent a long time looking for a quick fix. Spent a fortune on physio sessions, massages and of course I rubbed balls, rollers (sorry Tom) and even shot myself with a vibrator! Nothing worked………until I came across this crazy ginger dude who seemed to have something about him. 

I skeptically signed up for the Simplistic Mobility Method and I have to say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. SMM has given me my life back and more. Today I’m back doing all the things I loved to do before plus more. I’ve even found a new love for deadlifts! 

I actually cried in pain through my first sessions but I kept keeping on. I of course did way to much in the early day’s trying to get that quick fix... but over time I’ve learned that SMM is a healing process and that recovery is by no means linear. 

SMM has identified I was in a much worse state than I thought I was but decades of bad habits will do that to a man. I still get little flair ups but I don’t panic knowing what I need to do to sort it and one day the flair ups will be a distant memory. 

Thanks Tom and the team. SMM is life 💪🏻

So I'm a Personal Trainer who is actively studying to become a Physiotherapist. 

I specialise in Recovery and Rehabilitation. I've always been a big advocate of mobility training. 

I bought the Simplistic Mobility Method as I had hip issues and had been recovering for a long time. I always say to my clients, invest in your health... why do it wrong for months at a time and make no progress, when you can pay someone with the knowledge to teach you!

Seriously, best money I've spent, awesome program, back to full physical health and couldn't recommend enough.

Thanks Tom, thanks Jenny! 😊

I started SMM about 2 weeks ago and am so grateful that I found this program!!!
TL/DR: SMM totally works!

I have worked out consistently for ears -- I alternate between weights, yoga, and pilates/ barre with some HIIT thrown in -- and then in December, my back gave up on me. I've had short-lived spasms before, but nothing like this. Looking back on how my body had been feeling prior to this -- the level of tightness and limited mobility -- I was due for a complete shakeup.

Like Tom talks about, I was probably reinforcing patterns that inevitably took me out.
I started with some somatic exercises/ pandiculation and learned to reset my nervous system and let go of tension in places I didn't know I was holding it. But when I wanted to start working out again, knew I needed more, especially because I'd developed dead butt syndrome (funniest name for a condition ever, right?!.

So...yes, I started with clamshells, and then Tom burst onto my social media feed and told me how clamshells weren't cutting it. And I had to agree! So I started watching his videos, implementing his exercises and seeing immediate shifts in how I felt and moved.

Now that I've jumped full force into SMM, I am amazed at what I'm noticing. I have my range of motion back and my hip pain is decreasing. I'm working on how I think about what I feel in my body -- I got so used to being in pain, that I have to consciously say, "it's not pain, it's sensation (or a "niggle")" and that helps me keep moving.

Because nothing is overnight -- although some things feel like they are!

Anyway, I'm really curious to see how things progress at my next tests. I already knew I had a hiked hip/functional leg length discrepancy that I've been working on, but I think my pelvis is also slightly twisted. So I'm going to keep using SMM plus some of the other exercises on the channel and I'll keep you all posted. 

Thanks for being such a warm, welcoming community! And thanks to Tom and Jenni for being so engaging, fun, and informative :)

Thank you for creating a program that is resolving pain that I have endured for years, and fixing weaknesses that have prevented me from doing things I love.

I've been to so many MDs and Physical Therapists over the years without much result. Your program gets it right!

I turned 50 this year and I'm now feeling more agile and stronger than I can remember! Thank you!!

SMM works. Everything feels better 😁

I finally did my second session today and the retesting. Two weeks since I did the first. Must change that. Such a workout. Today I did the full session instead of the regressions.

Managed ok except I regress that HORRIBLE side plank business.

My heart rate went up to 151 so it's a great workout. Was a bit fooled - the new videos have an extra test and nobody told me! 😱

Some improvements in some. Considering I've only done two sessions, two weeks apart plus a few of the YouTube videos, I'm surprised at that. I went through a few of the 7 days of awesome beforehand. I've been doing shoulder rotations every now and then on these last two weeks.

I've noticed - my shoulders, already, aren't crunching as they were before. I am still bending my elbows a bit but it's better. These are shoulders which have calcification tendinitis, a bit of arthritis, rotator cuff injuries and frozen shoulder.

My neck isn't crunching as much either. I have plantar fasciitis that the GP only recommends
surgery for... 🙄 I've done the toe video from 7 days today (and used a spikey ball). Guess what? I just realised this evening that I haven't had an episode of hobbling in excruciating pain all day! 

Now to make it a daily habit. SMM every second day, other videos in between. 👌👌👌

Memorial Day walking around an amusement park (12 hours Saturday, 8 hours Sunday ). 

I have lots of chronic pain and old injuries. I get whiplash very easily. I rode over 10 rollercoasters 🎢 stood in lines for hours. 

I couldn't have done this without SMM! 

I did get some back and hip pain, and even some neck and shoulder pain from my muscles tensing on some of the rides, but I got my wiggles in while standing in line and did some hip CARS and lunges in the hotel hot tub. 

I really was afraid of taking this trip, but I had the tools to get me by and enjoy being a kid with my kids!! Thanks Tom & Jenni ❤️

SMM has been an absolute game changer for me. I am very active in doing martial arts and lifting weights, and I've always had tightness in all my major joints.

I've been implementing SMM as my warm up for weight sessions and use a number of the exericses as part of my martial arts warm up.

For the first time I've been able to squat heavy without any niggling pain and my recovery time between sets has been heaps easier.

Thanks Tom & Jenni, it has been a massive help as I thought my age was just starting to creep up

I am going to sound like I have been paid to say this. But I can guarantee I haven't.

I have had back pain for the past 18 months. Did I think this was the norm for someone in my 40s - yes. But after watching Tom's free videos on youtube which I had great results from - i purchased the SMM course.

Simple and easy to follow. I struggled at first but after a week the results were amazing. My back has never been better. Just do it. It's far cheaper than one visit to the chiro. Also the confidence you get from feeling you're making progress in pain reduction - priceless Toms facebook group is also awesome and has so many videos / tips.

So after 8 months after not being able to do simple stuff for years... I can now...

Lie on my left side in bed at night
Get out of said bed in the morning...then proceed to walk without looking like a cripple.
Reach for the loo roll that might be behind me rather than on the holder
I can reach the bottom shelf in the supermarket
Sit crossed legged
Run up a flight of stairs without my knees collapsing.

Got help from an Osteopath after showing Tom my wonky and incredibly painful kickstand squat...which led to getting increased mobility in my arthritic right hip. I can now finally do a deep lunge (a bit nippy) but hey can't have everything! So pleased that I got the Splits and Hips programme! I don't care if I can't do it, dammit im going to try...I'm in for the long haul.

Thanks Tom Morrison, Jenni and everyone who has commented and encouraged me.

7 weeks completed and I feel so motivated due to the progress I have made . I have an anterior pelvic tilt which has caused lower back pain off and on for years, Pilates has helped but sciatic pain was a common occurrence. What Tom has taught me is that I can change this - I just thought at the age of 58 it was the way I'm made so had to live with it!

When I started I could only do 5 of the 15 exercises fully but now I can do 14 - the side plank march is a very slow work in progress! I feel as if my hips have been oiled and my daily dog hikes are now faster as I'm taking longer strides and just feel more fluid. All these wins combine to spur me on and I'm now adding extras on to my routines to work on other areas - my balance is awful so definitely needs work. For someone not that keen on exercise the progress I can see and feel has spurred me on - can't tell you how grateful I am for that. So for anyone struggling please keep going as it is so worth it, no matter how long it takes.

I just want to say this whole SMM thing is amazing. I'm two weeks in, I've probably done about 6 lots of stretches (maybe 5 and a half) but I'm about to go on holiday and l've packed the stretches sheet with me, hoping to do one set a day.

Typically on holiday I don't sleep well and my back just dies on me so I'm hoping this keeps me moving to keep up with my boys. 

The cost for what you get, above and beyond the SMM is incredibly good value and the posts I see on here with the successes and the effort is phenomenal. I've paid for all sorts of niff naff over the years but only now do I finally feel like I'm understanding more about how our bodies work and learning about the best way to keep mobile and hopefully away from the physio. 

Glad I've found such a warm, friendly community. Keep up the great work all of you.

Got back into SMM recently. I have had a very difficult time with my shoulder due to a twist in my upper thoracic. 

As a tour guide, I wear very heavy kit (15kg of chainmail) and it has left my left shoulder in agony for weeks. It got to the point where inflammation was burning my shoulder and Ibuprofen was hardly working. Simple movement of my arms would flare it up and I had to keep my shoulder still for it to disappear. Never experienced anything like it, and it was horrible!!

3 days into SMM yesterday. Today was the first day in a long time where my shoulder was not in agony. It's an absolute joy to feel what SMM can really do for your body. 12 weeks of physio exercises and even 3 months of chiropractor has marginally helped my back.

But 3 days of SMM and my shoulder is thanking me for it 😂😂 I do sometimes hate doing SMM, but it is absolutely worth every second!

Also just want to thank Tom, Jenni and the team for updating SMM and providing the video guides. I knew you guys didn't want to do them, but I speak for myself and others in saying they have hugely helped me understand and do the exercises better!

I've been doing SMM religiously for 18 months and have gone from being a runner with lots of little niggles (and also being 48 and menopausal! 🙇‍♀️🤣) to running my fastest
marathon in 9 years today. 

Thank you Tom Morrison- you made me strong again 🙏🙏🙏
Chester marathon 3:35 ❤️❤️

I started SMM in June and after having some success I bought the Beginner's Bundle for my 24 year old son in August as he has a couple of herniated discs and was experiencing lots of back pain. 

He said "Thanks" and proceeded to ignore it. I kept dropping Tom's name every time we Facetimed and he'd roll his eyes. I went to visit him about a month ago to help him move and that involved driving my car 13 hours in one day. Previously I would have been so stiff that l'd barely be able to walk after that long in a car.

That night we were walking to a restaurant and halfway there he stopped suddenly and looked at me and said, what's going on mom...did you get your knee fixed? You're not limping or anything. I just looked at him and said, "Have l told you about Tom Morrison?!?" He laughed.

Well, I got a call this week and he sheepishly informed me that he's started SMM and after 3 sessions he already feels so much better.

He said he thought it would just be some easy stretches that didn't do much and was very surprised that some of the exercises were so challenging, especially the Thoracic Bridge Press and the Side Plank March. 

Very happy he's finally on the Tom Morrison bandwagon. As an added bonus my sister just bought SMM for her and her husband.

So very excited (should really get out more 😂)

At the age of 55 yrs I have the huge privilege of looking after my almost two year old granddaughter during the day 🥰

Watching her play she always sits in the flat feet on the floor low squat position, a position I always felt was for the very young or flexible.

After doing SMM for 5 weeks I thought this morning let's just see .....well, well, well I can do it too!!! 😆

Thanks Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders for helping make a Grandma's Friday 💪😁

When I was recovering from my hip replacement, they were adding several new exercises every session... I must have had 50 different ones by the time I was done therapy, and still no great improvement on certain areas. 

When I started SMM, I realised that your 15 exercises cover almost every other random exercise they had me do... so I still have my lists, boy have stopped doing them. 

Thank you for simplifying my life!

And many of my trouble areas have improved!

After car crash in 2019 I've been on list for spinal surgery. 

Thanks to you and your knowledge I am improving and have avoided the surgery. I can't thank you enough Tom 🙏💯 I did ballet for 16yrs & karate for 10yrs. I'm so delighted to be getting my body back to the best it can be.

Plz 🙏 keep doing what you're doing... I'll keep sharing

Today has been a good day. I've done 3 SMM sessions.

I haven't had the best form and had to do a couple of regressions but I can feel the difference already.

Did a SMM last night and woke up this morning with hardly any back pain. This was the reason I got the program in the first place!

So after a few tentative runs up and down the hall, I decided I would try a proper run this morning. I did some 90/90's and some hamstring stretches before and after the run.

I'm glad to say I managed pretty good. I was only going to do 5k but was still feeling ok so went for 4 miles.

What a difference a week makes. I was going from lower back spasms last week to feeling just about back to normal this week.

What a great program and I promise when I do SMM tomorrow I'll watch the individual exercise videos and try and improve my form.

The other week I was walking in the park and I suddenly thought: is this what walking feels like for normal people?

I no longer have crazy tight hips and quads, I no longer feel like my daily dog walking on flat grass is uphill and through treacle... Is this how normal people go through life, able to regularly work out and stuff because their body isn't actively fighting every movement!

Mind blown.

I started SMM 2 years ago and have been working on it, on and off since then. Making enough gains to let my body know that it's working. Before that spent about 6 years trying all sorts of things to fix my health problems.

It feels like magic, Tom Morrison you are the best!!

Thanks guys for doing what you do.

Anybody else notice a dramatic change in their breathing since starting SMM? 

I am able to exhale to a point where my neck and upper trap relaxes and inhale so much more deep. I been operating at a 'lower frequency of breath' and it feels amazing. It's as if I was unconsciously hyperventilating for 14 years.

Hi 😀

Now I have just run through the Regression SMM with some of the "real" exercises in there, but I am wondering: what about all the cramps I get while doing some of the exercises 😅? And what about my arms going numb every time we are supposed to keep them lifted up above the heart? Both of my issues have haunted me "all my life" but is this something that might get better with time with this program?🤞🏼😀🤞🏼

And I just have to say that the SMM have done WONDERS to my body! From just on the brink of screaming when walking or riding my bike 'cause of pain in my lower back, to after just four run throughs feeling like a new person, is AMAZING 🤩🥳! And I have been going to physiotherapists and chiropractors since I was a little girl ... 😁👊💥

So so grateful to have found the SMM programme! The constant ache at the top of my back, shoulders and neck disappeared after my very first session..amazing! 

Was almost too scared to tell anyone in case jinxed it lot, but no...4 weeks into it and it's still (mostly) gone... occasionally I get a wee bit achy after a very long day stuck working on the computer, but is very short-lived, and my own fault for not taking breaks.

Have spent years (and a fortune!) at a chiropractor and getting monthly painful sports massages and yet SMM has fixed it almost immediately! Thank you so much Tom and Jenni.. will be keeping this going and I'm telling everyone I know!! (I've also been able to touch my toes for the first time ever... this new flexibility is really helping in my Yoga and Pilates classes

9 months of SMM. I think I can safely say I've improved my mobility 😀.

I've dropped down to twice a week to allow more time for other work outs and activities. Seems quite a good balance for me.

Can't say I'm pain free yet but managing it better and improved mobility can't be a bad thing either way! Thanks Tom Morrison and team for the program, and the community for helping me stick with it!

I'd just like to thank you and your team.

You have given me hope. It's going slowly... but I am getting better. You made me believe in myself again, the physio and doctor told me to manage my expectations!

I know I've messaged about this before but for any doubters out there Tom's methods work. 

I couldn't get out of bed in the morning without taking painkillers for my back and hips due to a horse riding accident. 

I started Tom's hip and back exercises and do them before I get out of bed every morning, started slow and built it up every morning. I don't take painkillers anymore I can now touch my toes and walk out on my hands and back. 

It works l'm living proof so thank you Tom!

Hey, all! Checking in to say.... have no more knee pain going upstairs!!! Still a little coming down, and still some ankle pain. Got wrist work to do...

My hips feel great when I walk. I can't believe it.

Still got a ways to go, I really want to start rock climbing at a nearby gym but my wrists aren't ready yet, probably none of me is yet. I think I'll do some more SMM today! (I still can't do no side plank, march or no, regression or no...)

Bought SMM Monday - have done 3 x sessions…... 

Wow!! Managed to get out 5 × Side Plank Marches on one side yesterday! 

And, who knew you could push your knee that far forward in a lunge and then your knee pain would improve significantly? (Gym trainers have often told me not to go any further..)

Did a few Muay Thai kicks yesterday I haven't been able to do in years!!
Feeling taller, and Thoracic feels free finally!

Usually try to brace my core all the time so I don't throw my back out when I get out of bed, get out of the car etc - don't even have to think about it! 

Feel solid in my hips - first time in ages!!

Can't do it all perfectly yet, but am on the right track- absolutely stoked!

Been doing SMM 20 months now and I feel great, no back pain whilst sat at my desk anymore. My overhead squat has really improved. Thanks Tom Morrison, Jenni Sanders & JP Mitchell.

Still have areas I need to work on, but all in good time.

Practice does indeed make progress!

Well it's time for me to share. It's been about 5 months. I'm still diligent with 3x week. 

I'm hooked! 

All of my body parts feel better. I'm getting stronger and more flexible every time. 

Can hardly believe that at 66 years old my body can move in these new ways. I still can't quite get my elbow down but I can do some pretty strong side plank marches, the curse of the program. I can comfortably sit cross legged. My neck hardly ever hurts (from constant chronic pain). My message here, keep going, it just keeps getting better. 

Thanks for all your positive support!

(Side note, like many of you I am and have been active forever. Lifting, cardio, yoga, Pilates, etc. and teach 6 classes a week).

I've been so fearful of more pain, further joint damage (Psoriatic Arthritis), fatigue, overdoing it and losing days recuperating etc. 

SMM is showing me what the "action" is I need to "cure my fear". After years of searching for how to prevent further functional decline, and how to deal with the mindset of fear that limits me, I am so very grateful for this program and what it is giving back to me. ❤️

Guess who just squatted Flat for the time ever?

Finally broke through all the tightness. While simultaneously reversing a lot of my Cerebral Palsey side effects. Making my quality of life 100 times better!

Thanks to Tom Morrison, Jenni Sanders and JP Mitchell for all the help of the guide and the motivation to keep going. As well as everyone in this awesome community for the support too.

I just want to say this whole SMM thing is amazing. I'm two weeks in, I've probably done about 6 lots of stretches (maybe 5 and a half) but I'm about to go on holiday and l've packed the stretches sheet with me, hoping to do one set a day.

Glad I've found such a warm, friendly community. Keep up the great work all of you.

Single Leg Deadlifts (SLD) for the win!!!!!! 

Although I'm not talking about actual SLDs now. Just starting Day 6 of SMM after a complete hip replacement. The strength and balance I have in my good leg, thanks to SLDs, means I can balance with the walker, slide the operated leg out behind me, and lean over to pick something up off the floor and more easily get up from a chair... yeah! 

If any of you have some kind of leg surgery in your future - keep up your SMM within the ranges you have - and if you can, work extra on the single leg deadlift for functional strength and balance.

Training for 100k on the rower and rowed a marathon yesterday! 

Since I started SMM, I notice I get stronger and have less 'little pains'. Whenever I started feeling my bum/hamstring/.. I stood up from the Rowerg for a drink/bite AND A WIGGLE and the marathon was done without soreness or pain. 

Even now, the day after... Everything fine!!!! 

Thanks for SMM and the mobility reset.... LOVE it! This really works for me!

Well now. Here's a thing. On week three of SMM and still doing all the regressions but not quite up to the full 10 reps yet. I wanted to start gently so I didn't break myself or lose interest, despite this lovely supportive group.

This morning I went to pick raspberries in the garden and found myself squatting to do so. Squatting!!! I've never voluntarily squatted in my entire 55 years on this planet. Also, we have just come back from a five day trip in the campervan. 

Normally I sleep really badly because my left hip hurts and I can't get comfortable. No pain and a good nights sleep every night. And to top it off, a hard Pilates class last night that would normally have resulted in overnight hip pain. Nothing, nada, zero.

SMM looks simple but it's like magic. And the support from this group is amazing. Thank you Tom, Jenni and
JP

As an ex military physical training instructor (15 Years ago) I thought I had a good grounding on stretching and strength training. 

Today I undertook SMM for the first time and WOW!!! A lot tougher than I thought it would be, but in a good way and highlighted areas of imbalances and weakness I never knew I had. 

It took me just over 25 mins and gave me some significant release on persistent lower back pain and middle back tightness. I have been doing some basic hip mobility drill recommended by Tom for around a month and have also felt huge benefits. 

Better sleep
Knee pain gone
Hip pain 90% improvement
Hip weakness greatly improves with less tight feeling

Purchased the SMM as a gift for my lady and thought I would give it a go! 

Can't recommend Tom's advice and guidance enough - he know's his stuff!!

I've just started and turning 70 this year. I've spent this week studying the breakdown videos etc and finally plucked up the nerve to start yesterday. I did the follow-along regressions video, found all of it challenging and two exercises I couldn't even do. But I did what I could.

This morning I woke up and I'm already standing straighter. I feel two inches taller already. I feel a glimmer that my former dancer's body may still be in there somewhere!

Tom, your stuff works! Been dealing with recurrent lower back pain which didn't solve itself with Physio, Pilates, Osteo and RPG.

Started SMM in February and been doing it pretty consistently (more three than four times a week and when I was too tired, just 5-rep sessions). One of my main triggers were work events which involved standing around for several hours without much moving. 

Had one of those three days ago and felt absolutely NO pain or back discomfort, first time since years. Yay!

Thanks Tom and team, will keep it up and just bought Ultimate Core.

I've been doing SMM now for 6 maybe 7 weeks.

The results so far are remarkable!

Some background, I'm 58 and played rugby league from 10 until 30. Aways felt I was fit. Mid to late 30s pain started in knees. Kept running, a couple of half marathons and 10ks.

Then for the last two years I had had intense pain behind the left knee. Feels like the muscles in a knot, really struggled to relief the pain or walk.

Driving was the worse, couldn't lift my left leg to push the clutch. My shoes are always worn on the right foot, put pain in left knee.

Back to SMM been doing this for 6/7 weeks minimum of 3 times a week. Mobility and flexibility is poor but improving more importantly the knot pain behind the knee has all but gone.

Can enjoy dog walks, driving, treadmill without being in agony.

Thanks all.

So this is a VERY , INCREDIBLE (miraculous really) WIN. 

I just realised (I try every 7 months or so) that I am able to wear and walk in heels again 🥹❤️. It's been near 4.5 years since my injury.. 4 yrs since getting on my feet again and this right here (seemingly simple thing) has been and was "supposed to be" - according to the specialist impossible for me.

So Moral of the story N.E.V.E.R Let anyone tell you what you can accomplish EVER!! and SMM IS
INCREDIBLE!! Wow!! I'm stunned and so happy.

I think seeing Tom Morrison walk better in heels than I could lit a jealous fire in me. 🤣🤣🤣

Seriously Tom... Thank you! From the bottom of my heart and toes 😘❤️

Lying here completely knackered after a workout that started as a SMM session following 15 minutes of rowing but due to headphones and music turned into a dance session of improvised stretches and wiggles. Boy that was fun! More to the point, my body was doing some serious moves I didn't know I had in me.

Can doing SMM turn me into a dancer? I would love to be able to use my body like that to physically get lost in music. And the endorphins are AMAZING.

Had to share the wheeeeee! 😄🤪🤩

SMM has worked wonders.

I had a bout of tendonitis and it has simply disappeared!

Lower back issues. Disappeared.

It is working!

I'm a personal trainer and sports therapist and specialise in injury prehab and rehab. I'm also training for my 8th full Ironman and I use your program daily and seen a massive difference in my mobility. 

I now get my clients to focus on there mobility and movement a lot more. You are both doing a fantastic job and I'm learning so much from you, l've been a trainer for 30 years and a therapist for 23 year! You guys rock.

Looking forward to doing more of your online courses. Thank you and keep up the fab work

5 and a half months ago I became a dad for the first time and boy oh boy was that the single most destructive act for every good routine I was in. However as my wife and I found out feet as parents and regained some ground in the war for sleep it has also become my greatest motivation.

"Elleana (my daughter) is watching you" has become the words I tell myself when I don't want to do what I know to do. Today I complete my first SMM workout after all that time! I've also lost 2.6 of the 18kg I put on in the third trimester till now. I've cut out all caffeine for 2 weeks and am eating super clean again.

I'm looking forward to consistently taking steps to a healthier me and a towards becoming a vision of how want my daughter to be. Thanks to you Tom Morrison for creating such an awesome program and community.

First time I've ever stuck with a daily routine. Really noticed the difference. On Sunday I ran a 10k cross country, normally the day after I'd be like the tin man but on Monday I didn't have so much as a twinge!

Really sad this is over, it feels a bit like a divorce! 

I know I could do the month again and l'Il def dip in but I like the real time accountability. 

Thanks Tom, Jenni and JP for a great month x

Done! This has been such a great month! It's obvious the work put into the program and each of your support was incredible! Seriously this is the only group I've been a part of where the organisers responded to and acknowledged everyone in posts!

Brilliant, so encouraging, welcoming, and just plain feels good. Thank you Tom, Jenni & JP for your knowledge, feedback, laughs, encouragement, and support. It's been incredible, so many insights and it feels great to get into the habit of moving again. 💛🙏

Cheers! 🥳

Done! Well until tomorrow when I start over again 😃 my body is certainly feeling better for it. Why stop when I'm onto a good thing 🥰 

Thank you so much to you all for the amazing videos. I've really looked forward to them and pretty happy with myself that kept on track and caught up when I missed a day.  

Woohoo 💪👊😜❤️

I am feeling SO GOOD! 

I have struggled keeping up but have been doing two a day when I miss one. I took an intentional day Sunday. 

I'm excited to report that not only have I been able to do at least modified versions but that I felt good enough to do a 30 minute yoga set today. I haven't been able to do that in months! 

Tom and team are very motivational and supportive! 😁💪

I've really been enjoying these so far. I'm in USA and the best time for me is evening, so it's a little weird to be doing today's just as tomorrows is going live 😆. I think my favourite so far was not a triangle. It's all so simple but l've never had my entire body feel as good as it did when I finished that one.

Proud to say I haven't missed a day, even though I almost always forget to comment when I complete it. I'm feeling pretty good about staying on track for the rest of the program.

Done 👏 I haven't missed a day, in fact have been looking forward to see what's coming up and try to do every session to my best ability. 😊

Jenni's sessions have been the most challenging for me, l'm turning 50 this year and haven't done a single stretch in my life!

Looking forward to this journey ahead and as a extra bonus I'm learning more English (I'm from Sweden)

Thank you so much to you all!

I have more energy and can finally feel positive about being active again.

Without this 30 day program I probably still wouldn't have done the tests.

I'm not a lazy person about the physical part but I am very lazy about the thinking part - I just want to follow something and not have to think too much about it... there's enough other things to think about. 

Everything feels stronger and the big one, I feel like my hunched posture is improving... it will be interesting to compare at the 4 week mark. 

I am so happy you did the 30 day reset and I can't thank you all enough, it has been life changing 😊

Tom, Jenni & JP you are all amazing & your energy during each session is so appreciated.
Never underestimate the power of encouragement as you coach! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really enjoying the variety & I definitely just need someone to tell me what to do, so follow alongs are perfect for me.

This whole series has been awesome for me! I get bored easily doing the same thing over and over. 

This has also been a great series for my husband. I've finally convinced my husband that all Tom Morrison stuff is awesome! We will be starting the whole series over again tomorrow.

Thanks so much Tom, Jenni & JP Mitchell still catching up but loved the programme.

Reminding me what I used to and should be doing every day, with new twisty bits and variations that are brilliant. Will work through then do it all again. Look forward the the next camp!

Done! I just want to say a HUGE thank you to Tom, Jenni and JP! 🙏🙏 

I really enjoyed the last month of mobility and can feel that it has made a  difference especially in my hips and legs. Shoulders still need a lot of strengthening but I intend to go over the videos again and keep going! Looking forward to the next workshop! 

You guys are AWESOME! 💪💪

Done! Wow this month went by so fast. I have enjoyed my daily wiggle! Some days were easier then others, but I enjoyed them all. I look forward to the next one! 

Thanks Tom, Jenni, and JP.

I have a few to catch up on but it has been great. 

This week I managed to squat with my feet flat on the floor and my knees beyond 90 degrees .. it wasn't pretty or comfortable but deeper than I have managed for years. 

I am also less scared of my crunchy knees. Looking forward to continuing with SMM.

Done! This was a nice challenging flow. I accidentally started the program a day late and doubled up the first day. 🙄 From then on, I completed each day's video on the designated day. This is the first time in a long time that I've completed a challenge, What a great start to the new year. 

I felt each session hit the balance of being challenging but not overwhelming and I really liked having Tom, Jenni, and JP alternate leading the drills. 

For me, this course was a great investment and I'm so glad I have these videos in my arsenal to continue doing to be Flong and Sexible.

Thank you!

I've loved every single day - I've learnt SO much and will start SMM tomorrow. 

Tom, Jenni and JP - you are all so inspirational and knowledgeable and you make it fun - absolutely brilliant! 

My best comment was from JP when I said that I was hopeless at something and he replied that I might be useless, but never hopeless. There's always hope! 

That's my mantra for everything in life from now on!

Done. I've really enjoyed the programme and surprised myself with how well I did with some of them, I even managed to do them all on the right days.

I have a lot to work on though as I really struggle with some of the more strength based exercises. I am thinking of starting again tomorrow, I can really feel the benefit and it's nice having a different routine each day. 

Thanks guys!

Done. I liked the shoulder stretch at the beginning. It felt very good.

Thanks to all three of you for this very fun & challenging program.

I liked having a commitment to do something every day. I am hoping to keep that up going forward.

This program definitely does highlight weak areas that need more attention. That is my favourite part. You are teaching us how to spot and fix our own imbalances. Wish I had known some of this years ago.

This data only goes back to around 2020 but the same pattern goes back decades. It's me doing the couch to 5k running plan, getting near the end and having to stop - sometimes for months - as my knees were in such pain and I couldn't walk downstairs. NHS & Private Physios gave me exercises that either hurt or didn't change anything.

SMM, which isn't even specifically targeted to my awkward knees, has got me running. And I just finished a half marathon and my knee's are totally fine*!

*The feet and ankles however, need a bit of strengthening - I know Tom and Jenni have a video or two to help with that 😉

I've said it before and I'll probably say it again - thanks Tom and Jenni! And thanks to all in this group who make it a haven of kindness and encouragement ❤️

Heading into my 11th week of SMM and here are some observations:
🙌 I'm not groaning nearly as much when I stand from the couch.

🙌 I can wash my face, brush my teeth, and wash
dishes without getting frustrated with back / hip pain.

🙌 I can get up from being seated on the floor without needing assistance. (Whaaaaaaaaat??)
These small wins make such a huge difference in how I feel on a day to day basis.

I still have pain breakthroughs, and my exercises aren't "perfect, but I'm feeling so much better than I did two months ago, and I know that if I stay consistent - two more months from now will be amazing.

Oh... and also:

My legs and butt look better than they have in years.

BONUS!! 😘

I had hot, stabbing pain in the lower inside of my right knee. I was taping and bracing, until I found Tom's clockwork hips video. I did that every day for a week and the knee pain drastically improved. That's when I decided to go in on The Simplistic Mobility Method. I haven't had knee pain like that since starting SMM. Both knees feel way more stable, like I can handle anything!

Hi folks! 

Here is my progress after the first month (28 days)! I have been doing SMM three times a week, I know I still have a long way to go, still wobbly and a long way from Jenni's perfection, but I am feeling very proud of myself. 

This video has my teenage son seal of approval 

Thank you Tom and Jenni!

Progress on straightening up my poor twisted body

A couple of months ago I posted somewhat desperately when I was feeling like I was becoming more twisted. I received lots of lovely support from the group so I thought I would post a more positive update.

Not sure who needs to hear it but progress isn't always linear.

I am far from fully straight or 'fixed' but starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

My thoracic extension and rotation are finally coming along and my glutes are starting to remember what their job is. Plus my problematic left shoulder blade is sitting and moving so much better which I am thrilled about as it's been an ongoing battle for over 8 years!

This programme has made such a difference to me!

I slipped 3 discs in my lower back a few years ago picking up a railway sleeper, one of them I burst the Nucleus Pulposis too.. the Physio who gave me the diagnosis told me it would get worse as I got older, and would never heal, but could be managed.. 

The consultant saw afterwards told me to rest and it would be fine in a year or two. 

Obviously I took his advice, and after 2/3 miserable years of being unable to move, and destroying my relationship due to my fear of injury. 

Then I found one of Tom's blog articles about his own very similar back injury story. After using the programs I now feel like I did before the injury, and it's getting better all the time. So if you are on the fence: id highly highly recommend it!

Amazing news to share 😀

I am just over a year in.  My stamina, mobility and strength have all improved. I am no longer doing any regressions. I am on 3 repeats with a count of 3 hold on the exercises. 

Not much I hear people say but such an achievement for me from where I started. 

Then YESTERDAY I walked to pick up my Grandson from school as usual and realised I was walking differently. I now have movement in my hips/pelvis that I can never remember having before (I am 67) and the movement of walking is just so easy. I could walk faster with ease, I am so happy I could cry! I tried to walk as I have always done but I cannot do so anymore. I never knew my hips/pelvis were out of kilter. 

Thank you Tom & Jenni for the SMM programme and to everyone who posts their journey here that give me the knowledge and confidence that I can go further and then further still. 
I cannot stop smiling 

I've been pretty consistent doing SMM over the last few weeks.

Cut to this evening, I'm at an outdoor gig with friends and I've been thoroughly enjoying the dance floor. Then a woman approaches me and says "I've been watching you and you move like someone half your age." 

RESULT!!

Did squats at the ball field again while the fur rockets were cooling off. These were done with my toes straight forward vs pointed out which is a tougher squat for me by far. 

Depth seemed deeper to me which is disappointing but I am choosing to focus on the fact that I can hang out down there for 3-4 breaths. Which is a big improvement. No wiggle yet as it takes all my concentration to stay in that position. 3 weeks ago I would have likely been 2" higher and not had any stability there.

Oh and doing this makes my likely super arthritic left hip feel and move better on the walk home. This method really rocks! Just don't ask me to do Deep Lunge Rotations LOL!

I'm 64, always been quite fit but with lower back problems. 

SMM has meant I'm no longer going to physios and I'm more in control of my body and what's going on with it. It's never too late to improve. I feel your joy. 😁

Hi Tom & Jenni,

I wanted to say a massive and heartfelt 'thank you' to you both for creating SMM.

I discovered you in early 2021 and signed up that June but didn't get serious with the programme until July.

I was busy with family life and active but my posture was in a bad way. My pelvis was twisted, my upper back locked and sore from years of over compensating for a weak lower back and my left shoulder was noticeably higher than my right!

My woes started in my early 20s back in 2000 with a lower back injury (3x prolapsed discs) which caused me not only a great deal of pain at the time but to stop participating in the activities I loved, in particular Jujitsu.

The intervening years of desk jobs and not enough movement had declined my mobility and core strength and lead me to be weak in ways I didn't even realise.

My back, which I'd spent years protecting by limiting what I did, had started to hurt all the time and my range of motion was diminishing; although I didn't realise the full extent until I photographed and videoed myself as your programme instructed. I was gobsmacked by how bad things had got but motivated to do what I could to reverse my decline as much as possible.

My early attempts to complete your programme were pitiful - I could hardly get into some positions let alone perform the exercises.

The 20 min routine took me well over an hour to complete and I was shaking and overheating (not helped by peri-menopause! 🥵🤣 ) with the effort. Yet bit by bit I saw the improvements and this motivated me to keep going. I figured any improvement was a boon and I was curious to see just how much mobility and strength I could regain.

After several months of early mornings stretching in the living room before my family awoke, I was honestly stunned by my progress. I felt so much improved I was getting ideas...

My young son had recently started attending a Judo class so I was regularly sat in a dojo watching him and relearning the Japanese terminology. I figured my martial arts days were behind me but decided to see if my former Jujitsu club was still operating. It wasn't.

But I did find another not far from my home so in early 2022, after 8 months of SMM and a 20yr break from being on the mat I went along one eve with more than a little trepidation to a new Jujitsu club to see if it was even possible.

As my good fortune would have it the Sensei at my new club wasn't just a brilliant and experienced teacher but also an osteopath by trade so he listened careful to my tale and got me started carefully.

Last week, after a year of regular Jujitsu training and continuing to do my SMM sessions at home, I passed my first grading in Danzan Ru Juitsu at age 46.

I honestly never hoped, or even thought, that when I clicked on your website it could lead to this.

I cannot thank you enough. You gave me the tools to get my body back. This has not only allowed me to return to an activity I love but to met a whole new group of friends.

Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏🥋

My SMM win of the week ☺️

I started off Monday by taking my dog for a 4km walk down the road. I dropped her off at home and headed back out to do the same 4km walk again... this time collecting all the garbage that had been tossed on the roadside.

I do this every year around Earth Day, and usually my back and legs are so sore after I can barely move for 3 days. This year, I came home and did my SMM routine and only felt a bit of understandable muscle fatigue. No issues whatsoever, and I even managed to add one more Thoracic Bridge! 😃❤️

Today is my 11th SMM session, and is also 4 week retest day!

Most noticeable results are -
- Standing Toe Touch: Before with strain I could just about get my finger tips down and today I got the back of my finger tips flat on the floor 💪
- Crossed Arm Overhead Squat: Awful to begin, I was bending forward and could hardly squat. 4/10. Today I got ALL. THE. WAY. DOWN! 💪⭐️
- Deep lunge: I was a good 3-4" off the floor. Today my left arm had touch down!! And right elbow is SO close!
- Side plank marches: Start, no lift what so ever... Today I managed to do the 10 marches with ease 💪

I wasn't going to do the retest today as my middle back and hips were very stiff this morning from sleeping weird but SMM made it all go away so I could do them!

Lots of gold stars for me today ⭐️

Did a little retest today...when I started and first progress pictures and today.

Also a speeded up video of my nemesis conquered... thoracic bridge and side plank marches 💪💪💪

As you can see from the pictures I couldn't even get a side plank at the beginning, let alone hold up a leg an march!!! And as for Thoracic Bridge, that was a pipe dream and I started just trying to put a bit of weight through an arm when leaning on a wall.

Thank you Tom Morrison ....I genuinely believe if keep going I will become the 50yr old of my dreams, rather than my nightmares 🤣🤣🤣

I'm 59 and a hiker with Osteoarthritis bugging my right hip after long day hikes. Mild inflammation was limiting its mobility.

I have been doing SMM and after 2 weeks I saw good results which is why l'm motivated to still be doing it a few months on and my strength, speed and recovery is greatly improved. As a bonus my shape is noticeably better too !! 

Well worth the investment - in yourself

I have a busted ankle. Slightly slipped tendon gets crushed between the bones of a slightly pronating foot.

For a long distance trail runner, that means a dull ache that gets progressively worse after about 10 miles during the event and at least a day of no weight bearing or ankle movement at all after (think literally crawling about) followed by a day or 2 of just being a bit limpy.

Yesterday I did the Leaden Boot Challenge. A marathon, but a lumpy one! Plus the heat meant 7.5 hours on my feet.

Today. Just a bit limpy and stiff! Almost normal. Literally over the moon! No crawling.

Why? Each week adding in 1 x Rotation & Balance, 1 x Unilateral Stability and 2 x Toebility and ankles from Stability Builder on top of 2 x SMM and my strength stuff and of course running. 

Finally all this strength and mobility is paying off. My balance is still sh*t mind but I'm still working on it... thank you Tom & Team!

Since starting SMM about six months ago (not regularly) I have not needed the following:
- Chiropractor: I was constantly there before
- Physio
- Trusty heat pack: I lived with that thing for a year due to aching lower back.

For most of my adult life I have been trying to fix my hip flexor issues. Medical professionals had no idea or didn't care.

SMM may cost money but boy does it save you money 😆. I still have a long way to go to even things up but even these small changes are life changing.

Thank you. I spent the whole weekend doing yard work and then gutted our whole garage, put shelves in, organised everything and got it all spic and span. Right at the end, I felt a familiar grab in my lower back that took me to the floor. An old problem resurfaced. Mostly because I haven't done my SMM in the last week. Woke up this morning and it was quite uncomfortable but we had a playoff hockey game tonight. Using the brilliance of Tom and Team, I was able to soothe that ache and calm my body down and play. I felt great and feel great still after the game.

Plus we won 8-4 so that's great.

Thank you for bringing these teachings and materials to the world. It makes all the difference in my day. I appreciate you all.

I'm a bulging disc sufferer (plus other injuries) who because of Tom and Jenni... have progressed from not being able to carry a bottle of water, unload a washing machine, put socks on for 2 years, or sit down for more than 2 minutes without incredible sacrum pressure pain and numb left foot! 

To now riding a horse daily, sitting down to watch my son play basketball instead of pacing the sideline with icepacks on my lower back, cleaning out horse yards, carrying horse feeds and living again!!

I probably had 500 appointments over 2 years.

I'd seen 25 different specialists, Therapists, Physios, Osteos, Doctors, Surgeons, I had flexion distraction table treatments ×3 a week, went to a rehab gym x3 a week, had needles connected to electricity in my back weekly..... oh my gosh

I even bought an inversion table (yep guilty), foam balls and rollers, the pelvic clock, massage hand gun, did the Pete Egoscue method, curable app, Stu McGill exercises etc...

But that was before SMM, it has honestly enabled me to ditch all of the above, it has put me in control of my own recovery and is giving me proven results!!

SMM should be in everyone's daily routine!!!!!!

Thank You

Love Ultimate Core! 

Although the premise seems 'simple', it was literally the key that I'd been missing for THREE YEARS after herniated discs. I was getting sciatica every day, without fail for three years... and even though I was running 50k and I looked in shape, my back was still giving me problems. 

3 weeks into integrating the ideas from UC into my training program, I'm sciatica free 98% of the time! Simple simple changes to make, but yet had never run across these ideas in any other YouTube or paid programming before Tom Morrison! 

His content (and JP and Jenni) have really changed my life. I bought some of his other programs as well, just because I'm now a superfan 🤣 and I wanted to find ways to support their work!

This was the 3rd year in a row my pelvis had gone out, followed by my Psoas and QL completely tightening up, making it so i've been laid out for weeks at a time typically. This time I literally was unable to put any weight on my right leg and it would take 20 minutes to make it up a flight of 15 stairs - dragging myself up by my arms and hopping on one leg.

I started working through the issue as soon as I could get any movement going. Made great progress but that last 10% never seemed to move no matter how many releases, stretches, yoga, massages, or Chiro adjustments I did.

Was getting a bit frustrated but then I saw one of Tom's videos. Literally 5 minutes later, that last 10% was almost gone... almost!

So I immediately bought the program.

One session in, 40 minutes later - all the pain was completely gone - pelvis was back in place, and all my core and hip stabilisers were suddenly firing and relaxed!

Now, 3 sessions in - I can do every single exercise fully, without modification, except the
90-90 kickback. I went from being able to only touch my knees 5 days ago to wrapping my hands under my feet comfortably from a standing position.

Sleeping like a baby, energy for days, and my posture is the best it's been in a decade.
3... sessions... in.... it's unbelievable. This program is giving me my life and confidence back in a way I never saw coming, and I've barely begun.

Thanks so much for putting this together Tom - you and the entire team are legends!

Exciting developmental/recovery milestone!

I ate absolute dirt coming off of a bouldering wall back in August last year and sprained my ankle incredibly badly. I wasn't able to do much on it and it really affected my relationship with exercise (from begrudging but mindlessly doing it every other day, to not being able to weight bear other than walking on it for MONTHS).

Cut to SMM & Tom's wonderful ankle strength and flexibility video.

A few weeks on from doing both of these at least twice a week (I know I know, but you try having to commute 2-3 hours a day 3 days a week and tell me you'd have the motivation after), today I was walking to my bus stop and spotted the bus ahead in the distance almost about to pull off.

I actually ran without thinking, at a good speed, and managed to reach the bus on time! I didn't even realise what had happened until I was sat back on my arse again, so I'm REALLY pleased with this, thought it would take my bod longer to pick up on results.

It works! It actually works!

4 weeks of Splits And Hips progress 😁

Just shows what consistency and the right program can do. I've wanted to be able to do the splits my whole life but I've either gone about it in the wrong way or not stuck with it. Now here I am 3 months shy of my 40th birthday, mere centimetres from touchdown. 😬

I climbed the gate!!!!! That's it... I win! 🤣🤣🤣

Haven't been able to do my favourite walk with the dogs in years as I couldn't climb the gate....after a few months of SMM…... (not consistent but trying).....

I climbed the fecking gate 😍😍😍

I've just returned from a 10 day trip in which I had two 8+ hour long travel days with long flights (coast to coast of US) slept in various hotel beds plus on a sofa too short for my height for 4 nights, and took several one to two hour long car trips over that time period as well. 

I did the SMM routine 3-4 times during my trip and I am really excited to say besides jet lag I am recovering very well from what would have felt like semi-crippling conditions previously!! 

I can compare this trip after 7 months of SMM 3-4 days a week to a similar trip just before purchasing SMM and the difference in my comfort level during travel was HUGE!!! 

Thanks, Tom and company for the program and most of all for your welcoming style and support. 

I've tried many exercises as well as other remedies during the past 30 years of chronic pain and have grown easily discouraged about my ability to get better after nothing seemed to work very well. Your compassionate attitudes and willingness to help have made all the difference to my wanting to try another new program and keep going with it. ❤️

Bought The Simplistic Mobility Method....

This did not improve any of my aches and pains....

6 months on I have realised that I actually need to do the exercises as well 😳...I have had a torn rotator cuff and frozen shoulder...I work at a desk job...but walk a lot...I try to get to the gym even started couch to 5km. But it always hurts and there's always niggles...so today was the day and let's say I will be in the regression phase for quite some time...

But while I was blown away at how difficult most of the exercises were, knowing the regressions are there was really helpful and made sure I got started, so going to focus on this programme for the foreseeable!!!!!

Had a big (to me) win today. ☺️

I injured my right shoulder 10 years ago, and it never fully recovered. I got in the habit of getting dishes from the top cupboards with my left arm to avoid pain, glitching, or weakness.
Any time I tried I got a swift reminder that the strength and mobility were gone.
This morning, without even thinking about it, I reached up with my right arm. It was so smooth I didn't even think about it until it was done! 😀

1 and a half weeks of SMM every other day with Jenni's Healthy Shoulder Routine followed by the Tight Neck, Traps and Shoulder Follow Along on alternate days and I'm seeing more improvement than I had in a year of physio!
Thank you SMM team! ❤️

Anybody else a little frustrated at the world that something so normal and inate as walking could be done wrong for so long 🤣 

Walking feels different this last few weeks, my abs feel like they are working, my upper body and lower body feels like it's working as 1.
It's weird to think that I was walking wrong for so long 🤣

Being in the military a sore lower back was par for the course, walking 8-10 miles on a daily basis with upwards of 50lbs (100lbs when on tour) it was just expected.

I'm kind of angry that simple adjustments which could easily have been incorporated to our PT sessions just never got talked about or done and it would have made a world of difference.

Excuse the dirty keyboard. The point is, l've had to work with it at an angle since forever to be comfortable. After doing SMM for 2-plus months, I am totally straightened out. 🤩 Thanks Tom and Jenni!

I have assumed it is due to some thoracic scoliosis but don't know for sure. I do know I have had to work with the keyboard slanted since I started my job about 20 years ago. I'm thrilled to be free of that, as it must be much better for me to be correctly balanced.

I have had SMM for about a year and like many was pretty religious with it to start with and I now probably only do it about once a week and kick myself for not being more consistent or pushing myself enough. I am also peri-menopausal which i think cause a lot of my joint pain but since starting HRT this has massively reduced so thought it was time to really get back into it.

I bought stability builder for my daughter in the Easter sale. She is a trampoline gymnast so is strong and flexible already (definitely some hyper mobility) but had started to get some niggles. I thought it would be great to addition to her training. However, she is still quite young and not disciplined to workout by herself so thought I better join in 😬

Can safely say we have both loved it so far! It is pushing us both and helping to pick out where there are still areas that need worked on. just did my weekly SMM session and I can safely say that it's the best I have ever done! Full set of side plank marches 🥳

So glad I found Tom and the team 😊

Ps if you have knee pain lunges really are your friend and not the enemy like I used to think!

If anyone is in the fence about getting this... 

I promise you it delivers more than you can imagine, and Tom and Jenni are there for you any time you need help 😊 x

Before SMM I was crippled at the end of every day. I have osteoarthritis, chronic pain in my knees, feet, hands, hips. 

Started SMM and realised that yes! I have Osteoarthritis but I also had awful balance (couldn't even manage 10secs), super tight hip flexors and tight thoracic. 

I'm not super good at doing all the SMM moves every day but I incorporate at least 3 or 4 every morning, while at work (I'm in a nursery so get the kids to do some of the stuff with me) and before a workout. I still have Osteoarthritis but I now know the difference between a flair up and an actual injury or tightness. 

I can now balance on one leg for well over a minute while pressing a 5k Dumbbell overhead. 

I can sit in the 90/90 comfortably and I can JUST about do Side Plank Marches (still work to do there) all while doing at least 15,000 steps per day in my job. 

I'll never be cured but I feel I have more control of my body and mind and I'm not scared to move any more. #motionislotion

I've been doing SMM for about 2.5 months, currently trying to do half sets of everything every day as that works time wise for me. 

I started after suffering niggling lower back pain for 18+ months and trying Chiro (which was no help) and Phsyio. Had a big win today, ran 9 miles for the first time in AGES - over 2 vears - at a reasonable pace and no after effects. My last mile was my quickest and I didn't even struggle on a hill! 

Not only is my back so much improved, it appears all that lunging and squeezing has improved my uphill running. It feels so good to be back out running well and enjoying the great outdoors.

Thank you Tom and Jenni.

I broke both legs aged 10 and spent 3 months in traction. Living with a twisted femur and 40 years of chronic back pain along with thousands on doctors, surgeons, physios and osteopaths.

But I've been more or less pain free since the end of my 1st 6 weeks of SMM!

Wanted to share some happiness this morning.

Started SMM this week with 3 sessions in.

Today I wanted to get back into doing my HIIT routine. I did a low impact with weights.

This is by far the best workout I have had in years! My glutes were actually firing when I did squats (Who knew that was supposed to happen?? 😝). I felt balanced, and I knew when I was compensating. My left knee and hip flexor (which is what led me to this program) held up.

As an aside Ive done other movement/postural programs in the past Egoscue-for years. And although it helped, The SMM is the only one that really gave me the understanding of how to move my body under stress & exercise and in all situations. And I'm a newbie so I can't wait to see what happens.

I am so ecstatic!!!

Thank you so much Tom and Jenni!!

Dear Tom, I think you are on to something with your Toebility & Ankles from Stability Builder. 

I stepped off my elliptical on to a dumbbell I didn't put away and totally rolled my ankle yesterday. 

But guess what? I feel not one speck of pain or swelling today.

I joined the group a couple of days ago and have been scrolling through the posts. I am absolutely floored by the amount of support here. I actually got a little teary. No nastiness or criticism...just a friendly, caring environment. A rare thing to find online these days.❤️

I've just begun my journey with SMM. I did the exercises for the first time yesterday and was amazed at what I learned about my body. I am definitely much weaker on my right side. I had to regress on some movements, but on others I surprised myself! Today I could definitely feel that I had worked my body. But I felt good… more grounded and stable, if that makes sense. I definitely need to keep working on letting my neck know it doesn't need to be involved in every exercise though.😆

I'm looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me. And knowing this amazing supportive group is here is great motivation to keep going! Thank you! 😊

Just back from a couple days around Arrochar, first time out in the hills for a long time for me (3 years in fact!) 2 days of very different weather, up Ben Donich day 1 and up the Cobbler day 2.

Just really happy that only after effects are regular muscle soreness this time..did some SMM stretches before and after both days, and could actually feel my glutes firing - comparing this to 3 years ago (before we found SMM) going up Ben Lomond, forgetting my poles, my hammies doing the work, knees knackered, glutes unable to relax and literally shaking, back seizing up and unable to straighten until 2 days later my back went in spectacular style resulting in 5 weeks of physio, £250 down the drain and unable to work...

So here's a big thanks to Tom and Jenni! Feeling so much better these days, got some normality back and it's definitely thanks to SMM 😁

Today was day 2 of SMM for me and wow is all I can say! 

I bought the program because I have tight hip flexors and IT bands. When I did the test yesterday I had a lot of pain in my lower back and right hip. Today no pain and my hips actually feel like they are back underneath me again!!

I am quite an active person anyway, play netball 2/3 times a week, gym 3 times a week and walk the dog everyday, but over the last 6 months everything seems to be getting tighter and tighter. I have been having sports massage 3 times a month to loosen everything off and stretch after every exercise session but obviously not the right stretches!! I have not felt this good for months.

If anyone is thinking should I buy this does it really work, then take it from me it really does!!

Thank you Tom, I think this is going to change my life!

I do the full SMM three times a week and Head to Toe every other day. I am just so happy with the improvement I've made along the way. I still have a long way to go but I will be doing my SMM for as long as I can. 

I constantly check this page for videos on how to improve different aspects of my mobility, balance and strength. I find Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders very responsive to any queries, they back these up with tutorial videos on how to improve any movement. 

Overall a huge improvement with balance and mobility! I hope to make more improvements this year.

Thank you Tom and Jenni and I look forward to seeing all your latest content. Keep up the good work.

I'm 51 year old and the only exercise I've done the past 6 months do is walking and SMM, and I will try odd videos from Tom and Jenni's YouTube here and there...

On my second attempt at following along with Jenni's video there's such a massive improvement from the first attempt. It feels like a quantum leap!

Last year I tried a similar move but could not even get off the ground, it was a NOPE 😂 I thought to myself "I will never be able to do that one"


Thanks to all the encouraging comments on my last post I felt motivated to commit to this movement, and I want to post this to encourage others to try something that might seem impossibly out of reach ❤️

Two weeks in to SMM, looking for improvements on upper body mobility and have had an unexpected improvement in my knee--2 years ago had surgery for bucket handle tear of cartilage in my right knee after a fall. I was given no physio afterwards and ended up not being able to fully straighten my knee, as well as having problems running and practising yoga.

Fast-forward to now and I can just about get my right leg fully straightened, without any stress and running is much more comfortable. I think it is the sofa stretch that's done it! Whatever, thanks Tom and Jenni. Love Jenni's shoulder mobility video. This is such a supportive place.

I DID IT!! I had 2 huge wins today 🙌

I've had real consistency issues and ashamed to say, SMM hasn't been in my life as much as I would like (or clearly need!)

Today, I FINALLY got my toddler to sleep (whilst reading a post from Tom that gave me a huge kick up the arse). So I ran straight out of the bedroom and picked up my SMM worksheet.

Not only did I manage full reps of everything with no regressions (other than leaning in the 90/90s, come on I'm not a unicorn! 🦄) but for the first time, I managed full side plank marches! (Picture or it didn't happen 😉)

My adductors were never strong enough to let this happen before! I even got so carried away, I did double reps of them on each side 🤣

Just wanted to say that I've been doing the program since July 2021, on and off I will admit, but l've just noticed that I don't have daily back pain at all now.

And the shoulder pain that used to keep me awake at night isn't even there.

Its amazing.

Tom & Jenni are officially Body Magicians.

Wait, that might sound weird.

Umm..

Muscle Witches?
Flexibility Mages?
Movement Sages?
Totally-eradicating-pain-through-better-movement-and-good-stuff-for-the-body wizards?

Nailed it.
Anyway, thanks 😅😊

This is the ad that reeled me right in, Tom sitting on the loo...doing mobility!

I work out in a cramped space so I bought the program and never looked back. I'm 52 and previously pretty wonky with scoliosis and a raft of other knee hip neck rib etc…problems. I've done so well I went on to get the stability builder as well.

This is my exercise plan for life. I have NEVER stuck with any other exercise program...I'm nearly 2 years down the line and STILL seeing improvements. I got so used to pain and stiffness that I forgot what it was like to feel well.

LOVE IT. LOVE IT. LOVE IT ❤️…and and and it's fun! Yay!

I'm simply stunned beyond belief 🤯

Just finished my 2nd go at the exercises. 2 days ago I couldn't even do a squat. I just did 1/2 way down squats??? 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐

Although I used regressions for most things, I was able to do all 10 reps for each.

Getting up out of bed, chair or sofa .. I'm not making weird noises.. I did some housework yesterday without being in terrible pain.. I took no Ibuprofen yesterday.
But the best part for me: Mentally, I feel so relieved that I'm not "broken and unfixable" that I'm not past my prime so I might as well just give up. 

I eagerly got out of bed this morning thinking "time to do my exercises" rather than
"great, another day of this sh**"

Thank you so much Tom Morrison

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone else done Jenni's 26 min healthy shoulder follow along? 

I just did it for the first time, and my shoulders feel incredible right now. The banded retractions just absolutely kill me, and while I am normally a very calm person, I did follow up the last rep by throwing the band across the room and expressing a very conflicted message to my empty house of 'F🤬K OFF...that felt amazing 😁'. 

I'm doing this one at least twice a week now, my shoulders have never felt so good.

I injured my right hip in December 2019. I think it was a labra tear due to a bad osteopathy treatment. Not been able to walk more than 20 yards since I've been in agony with left hip because of the way I'm walking
Said it's arthritis, need hip in 3 years

Physio was 5 sheets of a4 exercise with no demo or video

Day 1 of SMM - I can't do any of it - so the routine is trying to get into the starting positions Lol

PAIN ALMOST GONE,
After ONE SESSION
Session 2
Still trying to get into the start position - but in the 90/90 I'm sure that my start position today was much better than my final position 2 days ago!

Things have really changed!
Thank you Tom

And thank you to everyone on here who posts - it makes a huge difference!

Why do recommend this? I have done a fuck ton of different programs, paid for a lot that weren't worth poo. I have for the last four years in trying to get back in shape and reclaim my body.

I was frustrated, because using all the things I knew, trying new programs, I would do okay for about a month and then push a little too hard and get hurt. And then I'm out for a week, two weeks, a month, and then I would have to start back over again. 

Sisyphus rolling the stone up the hill over and over again.

I watched as friends around me groaned and complained while getting up from a chair, get inured when they went out to play with the kids, and attribute it to "getting old." I had similar issues - my calves were cranky. My feet were cranky. My elbows and hands were cranky. And I couldn't do anything.

And I refused to accept this as normal. I wanted to reclaim by body, get back to a state where I am strong enough and limber enough to do whatever want to without fear of getting hurt. I knew it was possible. Heck, I grew up watching Jack LaLanne tell me so. (I know, you have no idea who he is, I know I've lived longer than you so just shut up about it).

And then I found Tom Morrison and his Simplistic Mobility Method. I bought it over a couple of other programs that were popping up in my feed at the time because it looked at least fun. And it turns out, It was everything I was looking for, simple to do. It didn't take hours and hours at the gym. It didn't involve doing fucking ballet barre exercises getting smacked by canes repeatedly for having bent knees in ballet class as a child leaves some mental scars you just don't get past lol). And best of all - it works!

You just keep working on it, to the level you can, and you get better and all those niggly aches and pains get better! I've been at it for a few months now and I have bought almost every single one of their programs and can absolutely say that it's helping me get more mobile, stronger, and have a much, much better relationship with my body. Plus, and I think a big part of why I enjoy this program so much is they're fun and besides knowing their stuff, and really are enthusiastic about helping others and it makes a difference and is part of why I enjoy making them a part of my day.

So, yeah, l've been saved by Tom Morrison and Jenni. I can only say thank you to them and also get off your ass and get this program!

For 6 years I have had chronic lower back pain. 

For the last 2 years severe hip pain on my left side. 

Six weeks ago I purchased and have been using The Simplistic Mobility Method. 

I no longer have back pain and the hip pain is 95% gone (unless I sit for hours at work)! I am 47 and the SMM was initially a grind…..but I don't care. It works and it was well worth the investment. 

Rock on and keep making these hilarious videos.

Living my best life!! 2 weeks of SMM and I'm able to enjoy my much loved dance workouts without any knee pain and did a 10km walk on the beach yesterday without any knee pain either! My 58 year old self who was very upset with the prospect of having to slow down because of arthritic knees and pain is a happy bunny and excited by the prospect of potentially being able to run again at some point. SMM is now a permanent part of my daily movement but I'm so happy with my progress so far! Thanks Tom! I think you are secretly a magician! 🪄

I can lift my toddler son now no problem and I am not worried about hurting my back anymore!! 

I'm amazed how quickly I got results and feel so much stronger!

Almost 4 weeks in and I can now do all exercises...my first day I could hardly do all of them and was SO SORE for days! 

So thankful for this program!

Dear Mr Morrison & Co,

I wish to complain about the lack of crunchy, gristly, noisy resistance in have in my neck after only 5 days of Yes/No exercises!

Earlier today I went to pull out of a parking space, only to find I was almost 🦉 like in my ability to to look through the rear window. 

Normally the crunching tells me I've turned far enough but today my field of vision expanded significantly and I was so shocked I had to remain in the bay for a few moments, over-running my ticket time and receiving a fine!

I trust you will provide more warnings in future? 🤣

So I started SMM in January with a few goals in mind.

Strengthen my back ✅
Improve my flexibility ✅
Overhead Squat ✅
2x bodyweight Deadlift (200kg) as of today ✅

Never thought I'd get back to where I am after having back surgery in 2018 (on top of bilateral hip surgeries, knee surgery, shoulder and ankle surgery before that) but the Simplistic Mobility Method was the last bit of the puzzle to get me back to where I needed to be!

Can't thank you enough Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders

I've had a fantastic weekend enjoying my first love: Archery. 

Thanks to your two programs; Simplistic Mobility Method and the Stability Builder, I enjoyed 2 very challenging days of shooting (and a bit of wild swimming) with no back ache.

Your programs deliver results like nothing else I've ever tried. I've learned so much and had so many gains.

8 workouts in to SMM (doing it every other day) and my back is finally improving!

My back was awful for months, and after receiving regular physiotherapy which included acupuncture, soft tissue manipulation and designated exercises, nothing was working.

Tom advised me to work on my core strength (I got his core program as part of the Beginners Bundle).

I'm moving better, and some of the exercises that I found impossible are now getting much easier ( 90/90s, side plank marches and thoracic bridge)!

Considering it's not even the price of 2 physio sessions it is an absolute bargain!

Honestly, do not hesitate.
Buy SMM!!!

I'm only 2 weeks into the Simplistic Mobility Method (I think I have done 7 sessions). 

This morning I did my first body combat class since starting and already notice a big improvement in my mobility, kick height, rotations and balance! 

Also realised as I was reversing into my driveway that I can twist to see behind me so much better - so much more mobile in my mid-back region 👏

So I joined The Simplistic Mobility Method 3 months ago because I wanted to make sure I was fit and mobile enough to do a 3 day wild camping trip in the highlands.

I'm very proud to say I did it - carrying all of my own kit (approx 10kg)!

I have been plagued by injuries over the last 5 years every time I was exercising but I have made it back in one piece. My right knee was sore the day I had to do the most climbing (climbed a Munro top) but otherwise nothing else is sore!

No pulled muscles or aches that have lasted for days. My knee pain didn't effect me other than that one day. I really do believe it was down to SMM. I did tell everyone on the trip all about SMM as well 😃

Having suffered a really nasty groin injury in May 2021 I endured months of frustration and pain aiming to come back to playing my sport (soccer) at my previous level. 

Having tried almost everything I began doing the Simplistic Mobility Method and Ultimate Core programmes available online through Tom.

This supplemented my strength rehab programme and improved my injury no end. I was able to come back stronger than before and I thank Tom's methods for playing a large part in this.

Thank you for helping me mobilise my body properly!

The Simplistic Mobility Method has been life changing for me, and my clients. I have referred many of them to your work! 

I only wish I had found you before my injury, but then I wouldn't have learnt the 'hard way', and I'm a better trainer for it. 

Surprisingly, the injury wasn't that painful. It was just a reaaalllly long road back to regain my strength, and frustrating as a trainer who couldn't actually train lower body whilst healing.

I have bought and been following the original Simplistic Mobility Method. 

It is excellent!

The exercises are all easy to follow and there are many regressions for those who are starting from different levels of mobility and flexibility!

The facebook group is very active, with Tom and Jenni answering queries and giving form checks. 

Highly recommended 💪

The Simplistic Mobility Method ebook is quite different to the free YouTube follow along videos Tom posts. 

It is self paced and includes written info explaining the reasoning behind the method, tests to give a baseline that you can refer back to and retest, and then the exercises themselves put together into the routine.

I'm a PT myself working with older clients and have followed various programmes myself over the years and I can tell you Tom's are the best I've seen.

Ultimately it's a £60 investment in yourself, that you have access to forever, that's equivalent to one PT session in most areas. Plus, the support and help you can get in this group is great!

I just completed Week 8 of the Simplistic Mobility Method, which is 24 sessions for me, my goal was 3 times a week.

I'm proud to say I've nailed my goal! This is the longest I've stuck to any mobility program, and I love it for several reasons:

1. It is the simplest mobility routine I've tried, as the name so fittingly suggests. Google any kind of mobility and you'll find countless exercises for every single joint on your body. It gets overwhelming. I love SMM because it hits every major joint in one routine, without cutting corners.

2. I've been athletic for the last 16 years and even I find SMM engaging, challenging, and worth the time.

3. I'm seeing improvements in so many ways... My knee pain has decreased dramatically, my hips & thoracic spine are learning to open back up, and I feel a lot more stable overall. I'm not waking up with horrible back pain anymore either. Also, dare I say it but the popping and cracking sounds I've had in my knee for the last 12+ months are diminishing a bit!??! (Hoping I didn't just jinx myself there!)

I'm planning on sticking with 3 sessions per week for the foreseeable future, as I still have areas to work on and improvements to be made.

But I actually feel hopeful that in a few more months time, I'm going to feel the best l've felt in years. And hope is a powerful thing.

Thank you, Tom Morrison!

Thought I would share a little Simplistic Mobility Method win. 

Took the road bike out for the first time in about 3 weeks. 

Normally when I finish a ride my lower back is in all sorts of trouble and standing up straight is difficult. 

Today I got off and felt normal! 

Hips and core learning to work together maybe? 👍

THANK YOU Simplistic Mobility Method!!! 

Thank you for helping me to celebrate my 60th birthday in the best way possible… on giant inflatables! 

A year ago this was not possible, my knees, hip and shoulders would never of allowed me to think about it, let alone do it. 

Yes is still have muscle soreness 3 days later, but who cares, I had the most fun I've had in years, thanks to doing SMM 3x's a week since Jan. 

From last Oct I did the 10min morning flow and the hip cars, once was moving better I took on the SMM programme, regressed to 2-3 of each. I'm now on 6 of each, slow and steady. 

Last week I went up the stairs 2 at a time without thinking about it, I'm able to put things on the lower shelves at work and I can get up again without pain. I am now putting more work into my shoulders and I have bought the hips and splits programme, much to the amusement of my family. 

Although they were equally surprised when I told them what I wanted to do for my birthday, my son's words were "I wasn't expecting that!" Thanks to SMM we had the most fun and can't wait to do more things that surprise myself and my family as I get older.

6 month gains update. Long post coming up!

I can't do a good squat yet, BUT, I did screed a 25m2 area and didn't even think about using my trusty kneeling stool! I was half way though and realised I had just been crouching down and doing it! 👏👏👏

For context, 1 year ago I couldn't even get down onto the floor.

My hip flare ups are a lot less frequent, and I can fix them myself in days through exercise instead of weeks with multiple visits to my physio.

Everyday movement is much easier, I feel stronger and no longer have constant lower back pain.

I did an unassisted lunge! Still a long way to go, but this is a massive achievement for me, as my hyper mobile arthritic knees regularly collapsed and made me fall.

My shoulder is moving much better, getting more stable and is less painful than it's been in 5 years.

My arthritic, numb foot had extreme muscle atrophy, stiff clawed toes and zero ability to balance. I can move my toes, SLDL has gone from impossible to can just about do and my foot muscles are coming back!

Deep lunge, I get elbow to floor every time. Still can't move my leg up in one move from toes, but can from knees, (I know it will happen!)

Dealing with chronic pain for over 30 years, with regular set backs and injuries is exhausting.

Sometimes it's hard to keep going, especially when some people in the medical industry keep telling you what limitations you need to accept, that your mobility will likely not get any better.

Thank you to everyone on this forum who has provided support and shared their inspirational stories, you have given me hope and helped me stay motivated.

Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders I am so grateful for all you do! I recommend you to everyone! I am sure they think I am on commission. 🤣

It is an understatement to say Tom and Jenni, their programs and their huge amount of direction has changed my life. 

I used to be in chronic pain with nerve problems, muscle spasms/cramps and tightness in my back, hips and left arm.

If I ran, I'd hurt a foot, or my hip. I would try beginner weight lifting and throw my shoulder or pull a muscle on movements I now find easy.

With SMM, i learned to look after my body, to listen to it and ultimately, get it way stronger.

I'm stronger and healthier now in my early 30s than i was in all my 20s.

I do SMM as a warm up and check in every week and use their stability builder nowadays. I've been back playing at a European level in competition and loving it!

It's incredible to still see progress almost a year later.

I'm not as consistent anymore as I average about one Simplistic Mobility Method session a week since l've recently moved house, started a new job and adopted a dog.

However I do take the time to move throughout the day to retain those gains!

Mike from Swansea, Wales here with my 4 week update.

I am 72 (Yay! round of applause required - just wait until you are this age, you will want the same 😁).

I had a lumbar discectomy/fusion 30 years ago.

Never been able to touch my toes even as a kid.

Lucky to get past my knees sometimes.

Since retiring 7 years ago I have had a cervical discectomy and have a cage around my cervical spine. This left me with a lot of thoracic issues and a lot of pain and stiffness which numerous visits to physios', chiros' and osteopaths' and even a pain clinic failed to resolve. There were only meds which did not work and fog your brain. Any exercise regimes I attempted just seemed to fizzle out. Been in a dark place with the pain, dreading the mornings and dreading waking, often, in the night. Since retiring I have had 2 hernia operations and my gall bladder removed. Oh, and I had a heart attack 15 years ago and was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation 2 years ago and am now on anti-coagulation medication.

After poking SMM with a stick for quite a few weeks I decided to give it a go. It's nothing compared to the fortune I have spent over the years.  If it doesn't work it doesn't work, and how hard can it be?  I have been doing SMM every other day for 4 weeks with certain regressions and fewer reps.

I have posted week 1 photos and week 4 photos. My toe touching has improved by a couple of inches and my Deep Lunge the same.  My Closed Eye Balance was like I was trying to swat a thousand wasps very quickly - that has improved to a dozen wasps over a longer period of time. I must admit that I nearly quit on a few occasions but support from Tom and this group has enabled me to fix my attitude on 'I can and I will'. I believe the pain is subsiding too.

I am sorry to inflict my knobbly knees and Skinny legs on you - but they are all l've got and they get me there and get me back, which is all you can hope for from a leg isn't it? Oh, and a bonus is that I get to squeeze my own butt cheeks, which can be very comforting - l just have to learn to not do it in the queue in Tesco.

I invested in SMM about three months ago. I'm pretty skinny and had weak atrophied muscles from illness and injuries from the last few years. I was struggling to get results with the various physios and osteopaths I tried with injury. 

Applying SMM exercises has really helped me regain physical confidence, building up gradually, strength, muscle density, flexibility. I can now do almost the full work out in one go. 

The additional benefit of improving my posture and physical symmetry (work in progress) has improved my piano technique no end.

It's been said before but worth every penny.

I'm only on day 5 of the plan and my 12 month old sciatica already feels better.

This is going to be a game changer.

I'm a constantly broken marathon runner who drives or sits at a desk for a livings 👍

So yesterday in prep for a big dance session (Old school techno rave style 🤣 ) I did SMM, after my 5km run. Danced from 4.30 - 10.30pm with only stopping for refreshments!! A total of 45953 steps yesterday! 

Body sore this morning but after another session of SMM body back to normal.. at 52 that ain't bad!! 

Love what this program has given me... a younger feeling body!!

Super stoked. I was able to go to BJJ and participate in class and walk out pain free for the first time in over a year. 

I've gone back I don't how many times after my knee locked up one day at class. Either the knee or some other muscle was like nope! Countless physio, massage, osteo, prayers.

I can't put into words how grateful and happy I still have time and more importantly improved mobility to move forward in life now. I was thinking I was getting too old and worn out to pursue BJJ as a passion and means to keep fit.

Thanks, SMM Team.

So I'm eight weeks into this and still evangelical about it. I am a bit stunned to be honest that a simple set of 13 exercises has got me pain free.

I've always had hip tightness but in my 30s two pregnancies in quick succession with pelvic girdle pain and one really bad delivery left me with hip damage, general tightness and back pain that I assumed was permanent and just to be managed. 

Over 16 years I have had NHS physio twice, two private physios, monthly massages, chiropractic, Bowen technique (very lovely but very woo!). I've joined a gym for the special weight machines, had a sit/stand desk installed at work, bought memory foam support pillows to sleep on, foam rollers, regular Pilates classes, Curable app. 

All of which helped, but not enough to "fix" things, just enough to keep me going. And now for the price of one physio session I learn how to put my body back together. 

I'm 50 next week and I can honestly say I can imagine my 50s will be my most healthy active decade. I'm still using regressions for most of the exercises, really looking forward to how it will feel when l've mastered them all!

For years I have struggled with my seat in riding.

Stemming from the riding school allowing me to ride with my legs at different lengths, eventually lead to my hips being severely imbalanced, one side stronger than the other and just totally disconnected and not working together.

2 years later, I found the Simplistic Mobility Method, and the changes are UNBELIEVABLE. Not only do I feel stronger in my body, but the difference is visible in my seat!

You can see on the left my weight is focussed only left side and toes are turned out but on the right 2 months after SMM my hips are more aligned and toes are flat to the horse.

I use this program daily and can confirm, it works 😊

No joke, almost magical! 

All this information is searchable online, however this sequence that Tom has established is the most thorough and simple way I personally have found to reduce my pain and move my body how it should. 

I have spine damage and was in a dire situation 4 years ago. 

Physical Therapy got me walking BUT this program is actually making me feel like I'm turning back the hands of time on my joints. 

Truly LOVE it!!

For 20 years I've had lumbar and thoracic spine problems... I'm 50 this year!  

I have a sedentary job and also do a fair bit of driving which doesn't help. Over the years I've spent thousands on Chiropractor, Physio, Pilates, Yoga, foam rollers, gym balls, you name it. 

I was looking at a lifetime on pain medication.

My last physio prescribed a bunch of exercises that I needed to do, but without any kind of support or guidance that quickly became too difficult and unrealistic.

Then I saw the facebook ad for SMM, and so glad I did.

After 18 months of regular SMM I am no longer on pain medication, l've done a 26 mile charity trek, I'm back playing football and covering the ground more easily.

It's literally changed my life so thank you Tom, Jenni and JP.

I really can't recommend SMM highly enough. It costs roughly the same as a single physio session. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain. For me, I got an active life back, and you can't put a price on that.

Just want to say a massive thank you Tom and Jenni because this is life changing for me! 

After years of pain after car accidents and injuries, thousands of pounds on various physio, osteopaths, massage etc and a suggestion by doctors of fibromyalgia, I finally feel like l'm getting somewhere. 

It's not easy and although am very active I'm not into gym activity at all so will resist anything that requires me to be inside. I do yoga and have people who have tried to help but who have suggested exercises that don't really address the whole body, just the isolated injuries. 

And I have resisted certain painful ones too which I know now is not the best thing to do. 

SMM however has had dramatic results in just about a month, not only the exercises but the continued good humour, knowledge and support that this offers. It's brilliant and I can't recommend it enough no matter what type of exercise you do (or don't do). My first test felt awful and highlighted weakness in my shoulders, lower back and hips which surprise surprise is where I get most pain.

Side planks were impossible as was the thoracic bridge. After a month and a half I can do both almost fully, all be it a bit wobbly and have still got to build up strength (I'm building up the courage to post a video).

Day to day pain is less and I'm getting less twinges, when I do l'm not frightened of them and can heal them a lot quicker. My overall outlook is much more positive because as we all know constant pain can be very debilitating and can cause bouts of depression. Oh how I wish I'd discovered this years ago. 

Thank you, thank you. I'm looking forward to where this can take me. Much love and keep at it people, it actually works! ❤️

About a year ago I got to a point were I was in pain every day, my back ached and I was scared of it 'going' all the time. Wy elbows were on fire and my traps and shoulders would scream each time I picked up my young son. I was miserable.

The difference to now is UNBELIEVABLE! Using the Simplistic Mobility Method I can train again with no pain.

I feel confident to deal with any flare ups now as I understand why they happen and what to do. 

The programme is brilliant and the support, advice and feedback from Tom, Jenni and their group is incredible!

To anyone in doubt, I have dealt with major back pain for over 20 years. 

This is the first and only system that has helped me reduce my pain. Not to mention, it is one time purchase, not subscription, this is not a money grab!

Anyone thinking of joining in, do not hesitate. These people really want to help you and it really will work.
❤️💪❤️💪❤️💜💙

Bulging disc... basically told to bounce around on a yoga ball and get chiro adjustment 3 times a week.. after 8 weeks I was so over it. 

Zero improvement. 

Started doing the Simplistic Mobility Method and within weeks the pain was gone. I had been to the point of crawling on the floor so I can not tell you how shocked I was! 

If I skip out a few weeks I start to feel the pains come back.. you know when you stand from sitting and have to "walk it off." Two days of SMM and it goes away. 

Do it every other day I feel I can move mountains. Lol

I had an L5 S1 disc bulge in 2017. 

Have never known pain like it. 

The cause was probably bad posture, working long hours at a desk, playing rugby, doing CrossFit and running with bad form.

The Simplistic Mobility Method is my absolute go to. 

Thanks to SMM I'm pain free most of the time and do something active most days.

I found the Banded Core and Movement session from End Range Training slots in quite nicely while I’m still building strength and movement with The Simplistic Mobility Method.

As a Personal Trainer I am continuously on a quest to broaden my knowledge horizon and pick up more skills to pass on to my clients and improve my own game. After injuring my lower back (right side only), my focus shifted from trying to get “insta famous” to getting rid of my agonising pain by focusing a lot more on mobility and strength instead of hypertrophy training.

At some point my partner forwarded me a T-Nation link featuring Tom Morrison, and I immediately got hooked to his way of coaching, explaining and training. Soon after I decided to purchase his End Range Training program, and I have been absolutely loving it. The website is well designed, user friendly and easily accessible. The instructional videos are great reference points and the exercise trackers accompany me to each training.

The trainings are challenging, confronting and super fun. It is nice not to have to design my own training routine for a change. Would 100% recommend this program and can’t wait for Tom’s next release!

I’m definitely not a natural athlete! I was the girl at school, with no co-ordination, that nobody wanted in their team. I didn’t start doing any kind of exercise until I was in my late 40s.I started using kettlebells at a local gym and was eventually introduced to kettlebell sport in my early 50s.

When I entered my first kettlebell sport competition, I won a gold medal against much younger women. I have been absolutely hooked on the sport ever since, winning medals internationally in European and World Championships.

This training takes up the main focus of my training time, and I’ve found that as I have become older (I’m 60 next year), I need to be smart in the way that I train; prioritising mobility daily and easing my body into becoming stronger in order to continue in my beloved sport. I needed exercises and moves that achieve both of these things.

End Range Training and has given me the tools to do this.

Practically I like it because I can access the content and videos on my phone and online. I can also download the workouts and print them off.

It is designed to be used as a complete training method (for young or older), or to dip into, as I do. It’s organised in such a way that I can confidently pick out a few to do at the end of a kettlebell training session or devote a whole training session to one of the workouts, dependant on how much time I’ve got, or particularly how my body is feeling.

I have in the past just used the standard strength building exercises such as rows, deadlifts and presses etc, as assistance exercises for my lifting. These are in the End Range programme, but there is so much more! It just encompasses everything that I need to be both strong and flexible in one place. I can honestly say that my body has never been stronger or more mobile since starting on both the Simple Mobility Method and End Range. I’m a real convert! And Tom is so helpful and he makes me laugh, which is always a good thing!

For those who are in doubt....it's totally worth the money. 

Tons of great information/education and ideas for your training. 

Best all round (strength, mobility, health and conditioning) program on the market if you have access to some tools like a barbell, kettlebell etc. No need to "nail" Simplistic Mobility Method first. 

Personally I like the mobility stuff from End Range more than SMM. It's always nice to have some options and variety, so you can do what you like. That's your best bet for consistency. 

In conclusion: highly recommended!

As a complete programme, End Range Training is great!

It's got variation between A and B workouts to keep your muscles guessing. 

And if you love a savage workout, just wait for the one with jumping lunges!

I am 52 with a lot of injuries and surgeries behind me like most of you. 

I have been incorporating SMM, the Banded Core routine from End Range Training along with the muscle activation video and something is really clicking. 

When the issues/patterns start to get addressed, you really do just move and feel better.

I was picking up the floor some boxes delivered to me with one foot holding the door and I went down to an ass to grass squat and got back up balancing and felt great. 

Like it was easy. 

If you haven't got ERT go and get it, it's brilliant, well, it's horrible really, but in the best way!

I've done multiple blocks of each program because of how much progress I'm making. 

It's a great programme and you're all terrific teachers - and fun. Thank you all. 🤗😊

I've loved this so much, got behind again as floored by the flu, but know I'll gradually catch up. 

Planning on repeating it until I get into more of a habit. 

I love the length of the routines and that they're such a variety. Been fun thank you 😁

Usually as soon as I miss a day in a program it's over. 

But this, is so manageable and useful. And different, but predictably the same -ish, that it was easy to shrug my shoulders over the minor blip and get back on it (and even catch up!). 

Thanks to Tom, Jenni and JP. 

I really felt the benefit of the shoulder and back stretches, did my weights after and felt stronger in my shoulders and assisted pushups.

I managed to get much closer to the floor big surprise for me!  

Thanks to you all I have really enjoyed this mobility reset and it has made me aware of the weaknesses in my body and where they are...glutes shoulders and back.. 

Will continue doing the reset into next month 

I'm now on week 2 of The Simplistic Mobility Method. 

Feeling great thanks a million Tom Jenni & JP 😊💪👏

Doing great with the 30 Day Reset Camp it's made me feel brave and happy. 

I have great hope that I've found the right solution and people to help.

Reading the comments here with great interest and excitement about using your other programs soon!

The whole program has been fantastic so far!

The information about how long muscle takes to regenerate in comparison to ligaments and tendons makes perfect sense of why I get to a certain level and then get either injured or plateau and lose motivation. 

Told loads of people about the program and will start The Simplistic Mobility Method at the end of this program.

This program set up was brilliant - something new everyday to do... 

Having to post you're done (and challenge accepted everyday) ...

I'm skipping on Netflix binging at night in lieu of keeping up with this bootcamp.

Only 13 days in and starting to feel like a morning habit! 

Well, I purchased the The Simplistic Mobility Method and then also signed up for the 30-day Mobility Reset Camp, which is intending to be my way to build up consistency.

And.... it's working!!

Now at the halfway point and only missed a couple of days. I doubled up sessions to "catch up". Best thing is I can always come back to these 30 videos. 

They range anywhere from 8 mins to well, I guess, 42 mins 😉

Here is to cultivating the body, mind and soul 🥂🍻

I share this stuff to let you know that feeling broken doesn't have to be your normal.

Thanks Tom, Jenni, JP. 

Really enjoyed the month. I missed a few days but not many. 

I really noticed the benefits yesterday. I had to crawl under my van and contort my body in different ways to do a job. It was so much easier.

Not just the extra flexibility but the body awareness as well made all the difference. 👊

It's day 12 of the 30 Day Mobility Reset. Just come back from a low impact cardio session at the gym. 

Rower, cross trainer and recliner bike felt very smooth - first time in maybe a year 🙂 a few weeks ago I found it difficult to get on and off the equipment. Not any more 🙂my gym buddy commented as well ☺️ hurrah

Very pleased so wanted to share

Just done my 3rd follow-along of Splits & Hips. I'm on regressions for a few things (aren't we all 😂)

Couple of observations from today:

1. "Now we're about to go into our first INTENSE stretch!"

Me - Crying in the corner with hips already on fire 😭😭😭 "Shittttt!"

2. On the straddle. Me sitting proudly, so happy with the 27 degree angle I've created with my legs whilst leaning against the wall.

"Anything above 90° is fantastic"

😂😂😂

I will get there in the end. Feel great the day after doing this routine though so it's working. I need to think in terms of years, not weeks!

Started Splits and Hips last week, on day 3 of second cycle and can't believe how much better my back is feeling! Totally unexpected bonus to also feeling like my flexibility is coming back!!!

Oh.My.God. Straddle Stretches....working on the splits training and this is my second week on it.

Did the Day 4 yesterday and really focused on pulling back my hips and stretching forward with my arms. You weren't kidding hahaha - I woke up today and was like Hallo Hamstrings! There you are! Welcome to the party - holy moly they are *a tad* sore to say the least lol. 

Also, really feeling like this is helping - I've spent months doing hour plus stretch sessions to get more bendy, only to have any gains seem to disappear if I missed a day or two.

With Splits & Hips I'm closer to full splits than I have been since I when I was a kid and dancing for hours every day. It feels like I'm cheating somehow! Thank you!

Four-week Splits & Hips retest. Same indefensible leggings for comparison purposes. Definitely seeing some changes here, and looking forward to seeing where it goes.

Yesterday I came to the end of my first week of Splits & Hips.

Findings were .. genuinely surprised at not being too bad at some, shockingly bad at others! But it's a journey, albeit a long one.

A win on the last day. Managing the lowest squatting I have EVER managed!

Thanks Jenni and of course Heidi :)

 

Really enjoying Splits & Hips. I'm quite a way off the splits but that's not actually my goal - this is all about easing the sciatic nerve pain I have now had for a few months!

Five weeks of consistent practice, whether or not my splits are improving the nerve pain certainly is - now down to a dull ache most days and no longer affecting my walking!!

I teach Taekwondo and the Splits and Hips programme is the best I've used. It works on suppleness as well as strength, whereas most programmes just work on suppleness. I've incorporated some of the exercises into our cool downs especially in poomsae training.

I have the Ultimate Core. I like how clear it is and that there are examples.

I've done 3 of the Stability Builder videos and I am so impressed. 

I like that they are low level commitment and under 30 minutes so I can get my main strength workouts in too. 

If you are on the fence, I highly recommend you buy the program. I usually get so bored by these things and I started out with a commitment in my head of doing 2 a week but I did 3 because they are fun and I know they are going to do amazing things for my body strength and mobility. 

Thank you Tom Morrison!

The book gave me the hope and reassurance I needed when everything seemed lost and at the time thought I was unfixable

Reading that book was like going back over some of my own experiences. What I took from it was, building daily habits is essential but also it doesn't mean the end if you have pain. 

Essentially - don't give up.

I thought this was very inspiring and encouraging for those who have battled injury, being broken, trying all the wrong things etc.

"Where I Went Wrong' - E Book, Explains the spiral lots of us go down as we try to "fix" ourselves, implementing 1 thing after another and only making things worse in the long run. Tom's ebook shows us the way he got out and how we can too. 

Everyone should read it.

Read it this afternoon. I found it helpful and liked the take home messages. 

Also the idea that working on the basics can fix you, when you think you are broken forever, was reassuring. 

Sometimes you just don't know what basics to work on, but that's where The Simplistic Mobility Method comes in.

I just bought it and have watched the videos, I think it's spot on to call it an education programme because I feel I've got a much better understanding now of what the various core exercises are for and that's going to be really useful to me in the future. 

So I feel it was worth buying.

Ultimate Core was a bit of a revelation to me when I first went through it. 

I don't go back to it very often, but I found it genuinely helpful in an intellectual way, if you know what I mean. 

I have Ultimate Core. I like how it explains the principles and I like that I can choose from the categories of exercises. 

I love Stability Builder and I try to do 1 of the workouts after The Simplistic Mobility Method (SMM) 3 days a week and 2 or 3 without SMM 2 days a week, it's great. 

I bought mine yesterday and I'm still working on The Simplistic Mobility Method but looking through it in more detail there are definitely a lot of exercises that can be done alongside SMM and some to aim for as progress. 

It's a great addition 😊

Stability Builder is an awesome addition to the workout arsenal

I used the Isometric Tension workout last week. OMG, what a difference it made to my thoracic bridge.

I have Stability Builder, the workouts are great and easy to follow along. 

I have all three programs and Stability Builder is great to add on especially with balance type stuff

Stability Builder's got lots of bits everyone can do!... 

Then you can do some more...

and you can really aim the workouts at some niggly issues

The Stability Builder programme is amazing! 🤩 

I've only been using Warm-up, Lower Back & Core and the Toeability alongside The Simplistic Mobility Method. 

Yesterday I managed my first Endurance Horse Ride (23km) in 14 months! 😁🎉 

My back and hip were not happy this AM and had the potential to become a major flare up. However thanks to the Warm Up and Lower back & Core, I could feel the areas that were tight and twisted allowing me to loosen off so now I just have general DOMS. 

Thank you! 🙏🥰

Stability Builder is a really good program too!

Started my first session of Stability Builder yesterday 🥳 

I managed to complete, Isometric Tension and Toebility & Ankles, this morning I woke feeling fantastic, comparable to a really good lower body workout. 

Everything feels activated and in place, no twisted achy hips! 

It's very early days but it's what I've been searching for in just one package! Rather than trawling through a load of random exercises.

Optimistic to be going into my 50's feeling way stronger and stable than my 30's & 40's.

If you're got a decent amount of flexibility but still can't seem to get your body balanced and in tune, this is definitely the program you need!

Thank you 😊

I bought Stability Builder (SB) a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! 

I've been doing Simplistic Mobility Method (SMM) for the last 7 months.

I love that SB is follow along, and I don't really think about which video I choose, I just do the next one on the list and rotate through them. 

Love all that you do, you've helped so many people and I'm constantly recommending SMM!

Tom Morrison says 'Squeeze your bum' 57 times in Stability Builder. Yes, I counted it 😆😆

If you have a core, you can strengthen it . And Ultimate Core will teach you some of the different ways you can. 

Being under load in while bracing in squats, deadlifts, overhead press, farmers walks, barbell row, chin ups, pulls ups etc. will take all the things he teaches even further !

I watched the main videos. Now about half way through the seminar.

I think it's super great! I want to get everything you guys put out in time! It's all
gold!

I've just bought Ultimate Core and loving all the info.

I watched the start of the seminar re the hip test, and completed the test. Surprise surprise my right hip is sitting higher that the left. Has this been the cause of my sciatica all along?!

It's certainly another piece of the jigsaw and something else I'm now aware of.

Looking forward to adding the core work to SMM

Bought it and it's Fab, lots of top tips and well worth the £ 🤓

SMM is a truly hidden Gem. 

Tom is not only funny, Flong and Sexible.. he really knows his stuff too. 

Hugely knowledgeable and always available with help and advice. Not forgetting the incredible Jenni, whom I want to be when I grow up! 

Stick to this, it’s truly witchcraft and WORKS... I've learnt so much about how to make my body feel better.

So this came up on my timeline from a year ago. 

I was diagnosed with nerve impingement at L4 and L5 and told I would need surgery to cure it. 

Constant sciatic pain but a year later I have no pain and my mobility is great, while doing at least 10,000 steps a day. 

This is all down to SMM. I owe you a lot Tom Morrison and I will never stop SMM’ing. 

For anyone wondering about SMM just do it. Everyone needs to, regardless of their issues or non issues. I never need sports massages anymore, which I always needed due to shoulder pain. 

SMM keeps everything working well.

Two months of dedicated daily SMM and I am winning!!! 

When I look back to two months ago, I thought I was made differently and couldn’t ever do deep lunges properly. But for the last three weeks or so I have been able to do them with increasing ease, and getting that forearm flat on the floor just feels normal. 

And I can touch my toes!!! 

I’ve had Plantar fasciitis most of this year but it’s now gone, within about three days of my hip suddenly unlocking last week. There is still some minor hamstring and calf tightness on that side compared with the other but honestly the overall situation feels vaguely miraculous. 

My first pain free week of the year. 

Thank you SMM. Getting rid of pain is a massive quality of life boost.

I've had debilitating back & hip pain for over a year. I saw a chiropractor for 5 months with some slight improvement, but pain always returned. 

I've had SMM for 2 weeks, for less than the cost of 1 session with my chiropractor I am now, relatively pain free. 

I can move, sleep, & I feel so much stronger. 

I thought that my life was over...that everyday was a battle against my body & kept wondering how much pain I could take. I can't thank you enough for your program. 

It is saving my life.

My shoulders have never felt better since finding SMM. 

They used to click and crunch and I was the person regularly digging into my tight muscles with a lacrosse ball against the wall to try and address the stiffness/soreness I was living with. 

Haven't done that for a long time and feel no need. 

My range of motion and posture is improving all the time. 

I just wish I'd started this so much longer ago. 

If you're dealing with shoulder and back pain, please give SMM a go you've nothing to lose and everything to gain.

I've been told over the years that I've got scoliosis and pain is just going to be normal. 

I've been told l'Il never run again. 

I've been told not to move my neck in circles because it pulls me out of alignment. 

I've been told stretching is bad. 

I've been told to stop doing yoga. 

The list goes on and on. I started your program 8 weeks ago when I got tired of my hips hurting while training for a half marathon. It has transformed my life. Every inch of my body feels different. I move now without fear. I do stretches I wouldn't have dared to do 3 months ago. The exercises are a God send. My hamstrings and hips don't hurt anymore. 

But not just that, the message of having no fear in movement is equally as important as the exercises. No one tells you that. We are told slowing down is just part of ageing. This program is easily manageable on a daily basis for the rest of my life and I am so grateful. 

If there are others out there who've spent weeks in agonising pain on the living room floor, taking medications to move or sleep, and fearful that the slightest chore will knock you out of alignment, unable to care for your kids because of all the pain, have hope! 

This program absolutely nails it. I've pieced together exercises for years in search of something like this. 

Thank you Tom and Jenni!

Wow. Just WOW!

Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders, without doubt, you have created one of the most supportive, caring and compassionate groups on the Internet and it really is a privilege to be part of it. ❤️

THANK YOU all so much for your sincere and heart-warming comments and likes on my post yesterday. I'm blown away that anyone would even take the time to read my 'ramblings' tbh but how wrong could I be!? 😂... I'm also chuffed that I may have reached my goal of possibly inspiring just one person!?!? 😂 

In an age where we’re constantly bombarded with doom and gloom, this group really is a force for good. A breath of fresh air. Long may it continue…and don't forget to look out for my next update in 4 years time when my son graduates! (🤞) 😂

I just signed up for the program a few days ago. I did the full workout for the first time yesterday. I always thought I was in great shape since I thought I had a decent bench and deadlift. I just about died in during the workout and this morning I may as well have gotten hit by a truck. 😅

The tests revealed my right side is worthless and my left side is barely one step up from there. Very humbling. After one full session I could slightly touch the floor when I was barely halfway down my shin before. 

Highly recommend.

I am only in my second week and noticing huge gains already in hip flexor strength, pain decreasing in my right knee, left shoulder, and right hip. 

Trying to really pay attention to Tom's guidance of taking it slow and steady and paying attention to detail. 

My Osteopath here in 🇨🇦 loves this program since seeing my results and the level of understanding it provides me about my own body = life altering!

🇨🇦🧘‍♂️☮️💥🔥💪🔨🎯✅🙏❣️

I'm an osteopath and have been putting people onto SMM (Simplistic Mobility Method) for a while now. 

Simply the best, most fun and effective way of getting patients engaged with their bodies and taking control of chronic pain. 

Just need to practice a bit more of it myself!

10 months after Gluteal Tendonitis hit and four weeks of full SMM, 4 times a week. 

Today I stood on one leg and put a sock on and then stood on the other leg and put my shoe on. My balance wasn't bad and no pain on the affected side. 

I'm ecstatic! It's the small gains I'm noticing daily!

This is SO good! 

I'm definitely in the 'muscle imbalance causing injury' camp. I knew it but ignored it (or didn't know what to do about it...BTM before Tom Morrison). 

Walking was becoming painful, after about a mile.

I didn't realise how much my imbalances were causing problems in my knees, ankles, hips, toes. Ouch! 

Using the 7 Days of Awesome videos made a MASSIVE difference, which led me to SMM (Simplistic Mobility Method). 

I now feel 'straighter', or balanced, and did a 4 mile hike yesterday with NO pain in hips, knees, ankles or toes. 

That's MASSIVE! HUGE! 

Very grateful for Tom Morrison

I've been going to the gym for 8+ years and weightlifting for most of that (yes I initially fell into the cardio trap of losing weight and dieting but then went into weightlifting). I've tried many a fitness program and not stuck with any of them (could be my ADHD lol) BUT this one hits different. For many reasons.

I ended up with problems from my left knee and probably plenty bad habits because I'd never had a guide or PT talk about the importance of mobility!! I knew there was something deeper that was making me plateau and feel injured and burnt out and I even tried getting form checks by PTs to no avail- my form was "great". 

I was on and off weightlifting due to pain in different places. Physio just tackled my knee - it didn't highlight to me that my entire left side was weaker. I had this strong body able to lift 100+KG but I knew deep down something was wrong I needed to start over but had no idea what or how.

Well, thank fxck for Facebook ads because cheery Tom Morrison turned up offering me 7 free days of stretching "to be more awesome". And holy fudging shizz did I feel AWESOME! After one day!!!!  I was hooked, my body felt incredible like no other exercises had done.

 

I bought the Simplistic Mobility Method SMM a few days later. No, it's not a cult or pyramid scheme (my morals are outstanding Ty) it is stretches that realign you and strengthen you, PROPERLY!! 

Holy sh** these have honestly changed my life not just my body! 

You CAN fix that sore back, tight hips, wonky shoulders, sore ankles etc etc by moving your body in the way it's designed and Tom's got that to a T.

I've been doing SMM for 6 months. 

I was thinking how awful my back pain was this time last year, and how scary it was. I journal my thoughts and prayers, and was reading how desperate I was in November last year. 

I am so thankful for SMM. I still have pain which varies in intensity but I have some days where it's nearly gone. Overall my whole body feels so much better. I'm stronger, more flexible, have way less injury anxiety plus of course I am 2 cm taller.

I hope to continue to improve and trust the process, and make progress and enjoy better quality of life

So thank you Tom and Jenni and this group for your advice and reassurance

Watched Tom Morrison's Black Friday video, he made a compelling argument to buy Spilts and Hips, so I did. 

I've competed 2 days and Jesus..H…Christ, I'm cured. 

My hips have felt stuck, glued together since my 2nd child was born 4 years ago. I'm already moving better and am pain free for the first time in years……after 2 days!!!!! 

Thanks Jenni, unbelievable programme!

SMM has really done a great job of getting me painfree without surgery for the back. 

Really helped me slow down and listen to my body and discover where I needed to strengthen and what muscles were overcompensating. And more importantly, how to do it. 

Probably the only workout that makes me tired, but I feel sooo much better afterwards. It's a really good life lesson program.

Well here we are then, happy two year SMMiversary to me.

This is in fact my only exercise at all this week as I've had a week off the iron while I settle into a new job.

Two years in and SMM is still quite easily the programme that gives me the most satisfaction!

I've done lifting programmes such as 5x5, Wendler, paid for monthly coaching and with my occupation I've always done my own programming anyway.

But SMM is something different:

After two years of SMMing you might look at me and think shouldn't this guy look amazing doing
this by now and be doing deep lunge rotation into blindfolded one armed handstands while
reading a book?

Truth is I use SMM to help me keep my dreams alive of getting stronger and hitting more Strongman PBs!

My life is heavy destructive lifting, poor sleep and high stress levels. So I have used SMM to become more mobile but mainly to not get any more broken than I was in Feb 2020.

I can 100% guarantee this though..

If all I did was SMM and no heavy lifting I would feel physically brilliant because SMM takes the stress away and makes the joints feel good again!

Do I want to keep improving and feel better than I do today? Damn right I do.

SMM for life!

Holy f**k - just got rid of a shoulder injury I have had for 20 YEARS!!!  

Did SMM yesterday then did my yoga practice today - shoulder was making me bad at yoga, now the misalignment is gone I find I'm actually good at it.

No wonder I had no energy it was affecting my whole body. 

I feel young again! 

 Tom Morrison is indeed a god.

Five-and-a-half week retest! Fifteen sessions in.

Before in grey top, now in black. Excited to see how much less wonky I am face-on and I think I've got less of a forward lean now, too.

 

Things I couldn't do a single one of at the beginning that I am now rocking:
90/90 pushbacks
Side plank marches (I did twenty each side this morning, would you like me to show you? Shall I show you again?!)
I'm much more upright in my squats too. 

Running also feels so much looser and stronger
And amazingly, I can now sit on my office chair without pain!

An unintended SMM benefit?!

I’ve been doing SMM for about 3 weeks. And I’ve noticed improvements in the actual movements, but also NO stiffness when I wake in the mornings and when I move around.

However, one thing that’s driven me crazy about my flexibility (or a lack thereof) is that in BJJ, we are on our knees a lot, (I’m in the purple) and my butt could not touch my heels when seated in someone’s closed guard! There would always be like this 3 inch gap between my butt and my heels. My training partner said I needed a bigger butt!! But I knew it was my own flexibility issues.

The last week or so I felt my butt graze the top of my heels while seated and I was astounded! My butt has not grown I assure you, but for some reason these movements are helping me sit properly in this position.

This is a silly little victory but I’ll take it!!

2.5 years since purchasing SMM and with admittedly infrequent practice, my forearms now meet the floor in deep lunge.

I'm not ready to post a photo, but the important thing is that I can now make more rapid progress since I am able to send a clearer message between brain and body as to the shape I'm wanting to make. Before then I could only move towards it with the intent.

I'm living proof (well I will be when I show a photo!) that progress happens even when you can't see it.

You don't have to practice every single day to get the results. You just have to revisit and do your best.

For lack of a better word, integration happens between the repetitions and the body doesn't forget. 0.01% is better than 0 and every repetition counts.

Here's me on my second go across the monkey bars a couple of weeks ago when I discovered I could do it. Don't think I'd have been able to without all the shoulder mobility work I've put in, thanks to SMM and all the information that Tom and Jenni freely share.

If you're dealing with shoulder and back pain, please give SMM a go - you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain

I started SMM hoping it would help with a few goals I'd set myself:

All complete!!

Never thought I'd get back to where I am after having back surgery in 2018 (on top of bilateral hip surgeries, knee surgery, shoulder and ankle surgery before that) but SMM was the last bit of the puzzle to get me back to where I needed to be!

Can't thank you enough Tom Morrison and Jenni!

Here’s my 8 week review, it’s long so bail out now if you get bored easily!

I’m summary, I’m not flong and sexible….yet!

However,

7 of them now seem relatively straightforward. 5 are very much W.I.P. and SLDL is very challenging, despite looking easy. I doubt I’ll ever be able to do thoracic bridge properly due to the severe mobility restrictions in one wrist but hey, that’s not the end of the world.

I have Ultimate Core & Stability Builder and will slowly start to build them in over the next 8 weeks to see further improvements

Tom Morrison and bendi Jenni - I have cursed you many times but thank you for giving my broken body new hope and direction

I started SMM in January and I cannot believe how much it has helped my dancing. Much improved leg strength, shoulder flexibility and being able to engage many parts of the body together! And the biggest difference - pretty much pain free.

Pain used to be a constant thing and made me fearful of fully moving - such a simple program for such great results

Thanks Tom and Jenni :D

Here I am doing 22 tilted turns for 2022 - pre SMM best about 5!

Although nothing ever evolves fast enough to one's expectation, I am here to praise what has improved since I have taken on this program. 

- My lower back pain has improved and I am spending more and more hours free from pain every day 

- I am more stable in each exercises and have no need to modify any of them anymore

- knee discomfort almost unnoticeable 

And, look what happened in 4 weeks without even noticing it...
Now I want to work on my arches so that they don't collapse as much but 1 step at a time :D

This morning I did SMM half reps for warm up, walk/jog 4 mile and then after nearly 3 months of back pain and no lifting I decided to do a very cautious, very light 5 min snatch set.

Omg I'm so happy right now I could cry! Never thought I would lift a bell pain free again :))))

Tom & Jenni - thank you for the brilliant work you do.

I have 15 years of sciatic pain, 10 years of migranes and about 5 years of plantar faciitis. 

I purchased SMM in January and have never felt better.

I recently went on a 10-day hiking trip with my husband, and we hiked between 5 to 7 miles a day in rought mountainous terrain. (This may not sound like much to some, but I will be 59 in December and feel very acomplished!)

I had no problems or pain from the sciatica or the plantar faciitis during the entire trip.

When I feel a migraine coming on, I perform the yeses and no's and the migraine doesn't fully developed and the need for meds are dimishing (Yes, I will get up in the middle of the night and stand in the bathroom doing the yesses and no's!)

So, again, thank you so much for the work and education you've brought to the entire world!

I love this community on Facebook, everyone is so supportive & caring!

Cannot recommend this man (and Jenni) enough!

If you're still hesitant about buying the program check him out on YouTube and see the videos then listen to what he has to say.

Practice, practice and more practice! 

I'm a Pilates teacher and have incorporated some of these moves into my classes and what a difference

Well done and thank you Tom and Jenni

After 54 sessions of SMM in 14 weeks this weekend was the first time in a long time that after a good hard weekend of cycling (250k) I have no tight glutes, no lower back ache, shoulder/ neck ache or muscle soreness. 

It’s a great feeling. My glutes have been reborn!

I’ve started doing SMM (half reps on everything) as a warm up routine before climbing on the bike. Great prep. 

 

Feeling FLONG but not sure about SEXIBLE. “MAMIL” is not a sexy look😄

 

I’m putting it all down to SMM. Never felt better. Looking forward to getting even stronger over the winter months.

 

Thank you Tom Morrison and Jenni!

I finished my first week today, 5 full sessions. I started at 1.5h, I’m at 35min now, due to relying just on ebook now.

Have to say what you guys do, seriously! This stuff is genius. Not so much the individual moves (though the added twists to them are), but the way everything interweaving one to the next is unlike anything I’ve tried before!

On the one hand I’ve been sore, like REally sore, but the good type. Hips, inner thighs, quads, hammies and even arms. Abs though? What’s that about man? Feels like I braced them Monday afternoon and they’ve still not relaxed properly by Saturday night man!

I’ve not even started Ultimate Core yet, that’s coming Monday. 

On the other hand it’s all going to work already. Fresh out of bed I’m standing straighter than ever, my upper back feels amazing! I’ve lots of work needed, but to think there’s such improvement after one week shows me just how solid this method is. 

Best of all though, for me, is my strength training. I use Calisthenics and/or Kettlebells for training. Without any direct conscious effort, my technique definitely has improved there. Particularly with the military presses, swings also. Pull ups, though I’ve laid of them due to shoulder weirdness, feels better. Lats are really showing up now. 

Apologies for being long winded, just wanted to chip in and let you both know I’m loving this stuff, very addictive.

Cheers to you both 

Mid-Jan update. I think I started SMM back in October? I could not do thoracic bridge presses, squats or even regressed side planks. My elbow was not going anywhere below my shin and I could not balance well enough to do any reverse lunges, deadlifts or split lunges.

Some weeks I manage 4 full sessions, some only 1.5, But I continue to make progress!

My elbow now touches the top of my foot.
I balance on tip toes one leg at a time in the shower.
I do my neck stretches when walking the dog.
I can't go upstairs without doing 3 steps at a time, getting a good split lunge stretch in there
I routinely squat down to do my shoe laces/pick up dog poo!!! 
When I go upstairs or walk the dog I do apt correcting marches.

I dread to think what I look like...

My posture has changed.
My core strength has improved, my tinitus has gone, my back and leg pain completely disappeared. 
I've improved my balance, my belief in myself, my love of my body, my enjoyment of life.

Thank you to you both Tom and Jenni - Thank you to everyone who posts and comments [in the Facebook group]. I've learnt so much from you all.  

Since forever, I have had stiff knees and pain in my left knee. August last year, I developed an even worse pain in my right knee when running. Then my butt started hurting when I ran!  Lol. 

Since I started SMM, my left knee pain has gone completely.

My right knee pain has also gone, and today, I ran 4 miles for the second time this week, PAINFREE!!!

No knee or butt pain at all! Whoop!

It was a slow 4 miles, but it was painfree! I can't actually believe I did 4 miles, considering I have avoided the treadmill since before Xmas!

I’ve been doing SMM for 4 weeks today. My sciatic pain has improved significantly! :D

I wish I found this 8 mths ago when my sciatic pain started. It would have saved me a ton of $$ & frustration.

I’ve had physio, osteo, chiro tell me my left hip is hiked up & my left shoulder pushed down.

I was really trying in both pics to be straight! (Initial test left, after 4 week retest right)

I still need lots of work but I can’t believe how much SMM has straightened me out & evened up the strength on both sides. 

I’m so thankful :)

Hey guys, i just want to give my feedback on SMM.

The left pic is before SMM with lower back and knee pain.
Right is 12 weeks in... Didnt do the retest because i knew it is working :D

My spine straightened a lot and i have no back or knee pain anymore. Also my strength in squats and deadlifts literally exploded. I'm happy and can recommend it!

Hey everyone, sorry for the wordy post.

This is aimed at anyone who like me, is struggling to keep going or even start.

I joined a few months ago and have been reading everyone’s journey everyday which I found hugely inspiring. I’m a Drummer and I’ve been on tour since September and I have been really struggling with Achilles pain, chronic back and neck pain.

My current drum rig is a stretch and physically very demanding, aches and pains in my mind have always been part and parcel of the job and see it as normal over the last 20 years. I have regular chiropractor visits off tour but it’s more about containment than a fix.

With the joys of touring and anti social hours I’ve put on a few lbs these last few months and struggled to make the time to get started with lifestyle blah. It all seemed very uphill just to get started no matter how incredible Tom and Jenni's incredible work ethic, talent and knowledge are, it just seemed like a mountain to climb.

Last week I was in Finland on a day off and it was cold and wet in the hotel, I thought why not just give it a go, it’s only 40 minutes. Well, the tests were a disaster and I was blowing so hard on the exercises, the side Plank march, bridge press and 90/90 just had me sat on the floor looking at myself pretty fed up!

I put **** NO!! In the comments block… I really didn’t enjoy it and it felt like a sad realisation that age is creeping and I’m not the fit kid I was anymore.

The next day I had a show so didn’t do SMM, but found myself aching from head to toe but with a little bit of a good feeling that I was doing something good.

A day later I did it again and found myself laughing in disbelief on how much I could attempt the exercises and not lie there like a full laundry bag feeling sorry for myself! It was like some weird magic?! What the hell is this? How can I move more than I did two days ago? And why in two sessions can I move more freely and get out of bed not hobbling around to get started.

Now I’m fully aware there’s a life’s work here and education and persistence is key. Even though I put on a few lbs I’ve always been relatively fit, but this plan has changed absolutely everything.

Everything in just a few sessions feels open, and last night in Oslo, it was the first time in years I’ve played a concert and not had to put biofreeze, heat creams all over myself!! I did a couple of the key stretches before the three hour show and I came off stage feeling like I could do it again, the travelling even feels easier on my spine and neck, my mind is completely blown.

If anyone is putting it off or struggling for a start, ‘do it’ it’ll be one of the best things you’ll do for your day to day lifestyle and standing tall again.

A huge thank you to Tom and Jenni for their knowledge, drive, passion and kindness, what an incredible thing you’ve created. This is such a great community and joining the SMM was one of the best decisions I ever made.

TOUCHDOWN!! Well on my right side anyway - left still has a full 2" minimum to go but that's my very tight and very weak side, so not surprised. Totally chuffed as this is only session number 4! 

Four weeks in - the benefits of SMM:

1. No more back pain sitting at my desk.

2. I am running faster and more comfortably than I was before.
Last week I reported that I ran a PB for 5k (36.25) after just a week of SMM - It wasn't a fluke!

I have run under 37 mins twice more since then, so my 3 best runs ever.  Today's run included finishing uphill, which I ran better than I have ever done. My previous runs were all 38 mins plus, even on the flat. It's working!

3. This one might be unique!  

I have had a residual ache in my upper arm since my first Covid jab back in Feb.  I know it was the first one, as I have had my second and third in the other arm.  Could feel it when I stretched my arm up or swam.  All of a sudden, it's gone!

I’ve not yet managed to get into a 3-a-week routine, but want to say a big thank you.

I’m so impressed. I’ve suffered lower back issues for years from cycling, or so I thought. Thanks to Tom for focusing my mind on multiple historic injuries that I haven’t actually recovered from, more the rest of me is compensating for them. Each time I do some or all the programme I’ve no issues for several days, thank you.

I also smashed my personal best on alpe d’zwift because I think it allowed me to use my leg power from releasing my hip flexors. Just a theory but I’d been making no progress for a year.

I have to say that with 3 months in I have relief from ailments that have nagged me for years. 

Overuse and imbalance left me hardly able to do the things I did a couple years back (more than a couple!).

Thankyou Tom and Jenni, I am looking forward to being balanced again.

If this would only grow hair now.

About a month into the program now, boy it was tough to start, but it is getting easier, and I can feel such a difference in my body.

 
I wish I had found the programme before my back surgery as I am questioning whether or not I would have ever needed it. But it is what is it and I can’t go back.
 

This programme will definitely take me forwards though, oh and sideways, inside out and upside down. 
 

I can’t recommend highly enough. Get flong and sexible.

 

Thanks Tom x

Does SMM work?

Well 6 months ago I called an ambulance due to my back going. For 4 months nothing worked.

I started SMM 2 & 1/2 months later this is me climbing Cadar Idris up the scramble.

Was hard to trust my body as it was it’s first real test and it was interesting that as I progressed I felt more confident, and since this photo I feel my physical abilities are maybe 95% back to normal now my brain trusts my muscles again.

Cheers Tom and Jenni, legends!

Omg I am buzzing!! 2 weeks into my SMM and what a difference already.

4 months ago I got over-excited with my gym being open after lockdown and stupidly went back to the weight I used before, and bought a weighted vest. Really bad move which resulted in my hips, hamstrings, knees, back, sciatica both legs, couldn't put socks on I was in a real bad way.

I cancelled my gym membership which killed me and over the months iv been watching Tom and Jenni and doing some of the movements which really helped.

Signing up to SMM and doing the movements as they should be has resulted in me doing an assisted deep squat and unassisted lunges today.

Still a long way to go but feeling so positive and confident I can get back to how I was!

Happy Saturday everyone from sunny Wales and big cwthes to Tom and Jen!

OMG I am still only in week 2 but functionally, I a different person.

Last night I had to move 6 super heavy, slimy stable mats 20 feet and scrub them down with a broom. The whole process took 2.5 hours of intensive labour in absolute downpouring rain.

Previous SMM me would get back ache and locked up just carrying a water bucket or wheel barrow and be unable to move the next day.  I could not have budged one of those mats and it would have put my back out to try.

But yesterday I had more muscles to pull with, my shoulders and neck were flong and sexible.  My hip flexors and glutes helped me out.  My knees were able to bend more steadily.  

When I got home I stretched it all out.

Today?  I can feel the work in my body but NO PAIN.  NO LOCKED BACK. This is a miracle.

I had felt I was falling apart before SMM.  Everything hurt, ached, twinged.

Over 6 years of not being able to exercise, a slipped disc, nerve pain, dislocating shoulders, a broken arm and the utterly cruel menopause made me feel like a broken woman. Now I am an AMAZON!

I can't thank you enough Tom and Jenni.  I feel like I have my life back. Thank you!

Yesterday I completed my first walking Marathon which took place on the Jurassic Coast in Weymouth for charity. The course was incredibly tough, and was one of the most challenging things I've put my body through.

But I did it. Feeling tired and achey but NO BACK PAIN and no other issues during the course!

I can't believe how my body feels this morning. I was expecting to feel stiff and in pain all over, but I'm feeling pretty good. I will be doing SMM later this morning to see how it all feels. Mr. Tom Morrison 

Thank you again for this amazing programme and  all your wonderful encouraging videos and messages. I will never stop shouting your praises!

Hello SMMers. So big news here - I’ve just qualified as a yoga teacher.

And one of the main reasons I started SMM last April was not only that I was in a lot of pain in day-to-day life from sciatica, but I knew I was about to embark upon a year-long teacher-training course in autumn, and didn’t feel at all physically equipped to do so. I felt broken. 

SMM helped me get to a place where I was less broken by the time the course started, and has kept me on an even keel throughout, as a great complement to yoga and my other training. And good thing too, as I severely underestimated how physically challenging teacher training would be...! Gawd knows how I’d have managed had I embarked upon it from a place of abject brokenness!

So just wanted to say a huge thanks to Tom and Jenni, because without them the past year might have proved impossible. Thanks for helping me get here, you lovely, lovely people.

Hey SMM family - I just wanted to share with you guys some of my struggles and what the SMM journey has been like for me so far which I hope will be helpful to you guys.

I have spent most of my life as an athlete and although I was naturally "athletic", agility and mobility was something I struggled with a lot and it made me very injury prone, as I have come to realise that I favoured the left side of my body and it caused quite a big functional difference between my left and right leg.

I started going to the chiropractor this year end of April this year with a functional difference - my left leg was half an inch shorter than my right. This may not seem alot...but it affected the mobility of my hips and I have not gone through a training session boxing or playing football in the last 5 years without pain in my left knee. 

Fast forward 2 months of practicing SMM at least 5 times a week, the journey has not been pain free but I am noticing a significant difference in my posture, how I hold myself upright, and my left and right side of the body feels more synchronised and balanced. My chiropractor was shocked that my left and right legs are now the same lengths.

SMM absolutely works - and what I will say is this,  listen to your body and if you feel like you want to do additional reps...do it! Do them mindfully as best as you can, some days I find myself dragging my feet but once I get into it, you get into the groove of it!

The important thing is to be kind to yourself, be patient. What we are doing here is not a quick fix (although it can be for some and that is amazing!!) and our mind-body connection is an ongoing relationship.

This program has taught me so much about my own biomechanics and I am excited to return as an elite athlete with much greater mobility and agility.

You have got this SMM fam - sending you all my love!!!

Big Thank you to Tom and Jenni for SMM and all the fabulous YouTube support. I honestly never thought i would get rid of my pain never mind step foot back in my beloved CrossFit box.

I am now 9 classes back and making steady progress back to full fitness. I can only credit the support and enhanced knowledge I have gained from purchasing the programme.

Throughout the 7 long-arse and frustrating months I have learnt so much and will continue to practise all skills acquired in a bid to avoid / prevent future injury.

I cant recommend the programme enough and will continue to praise you both and promote your programme to all. 

Much love and admiration. You go above and beyond. X

With the aid of SMM..... From squat to the top. Lifted this 30kg bad boy. No back pain! So happy!

 

Huge THANK YOU to Tom Morrison and Jenni for getting me mobile and running again!!!

5 years ago, my running came to an abrupt end and I have suffered with chronic pain, fatigue and all that comes with it since then. Numerous doctors told me that I'd better stop running - but that meant that 'triathloning' was out the window.

It has taken me this long to recover, adapt and learn how to work with my body to be able to do 'crazy' things again. I have learned a lot about movement, mobility and how to keep it simple (see what I did there?).

There is no doubt that SMM has enabled me to run again and kept me injury-free for the last 6 months as I have ramped up my training. 

Yesterday I completed a Half Ironman sportive that finished with a 22.4km run (shuffle/stumble/ walk) across the South Downs, including Ditchling Beacon. 

To anyone just starting out with SMM: stick with it. It is totally worth it.

Today I did my first attempt at the online qualifiers for Worlds Strongest Women.

The fact that I have even considered it, let alone booked my flights and accommodation and I am now in the process of trying to qualify…  Is 95483829298% down to Tom Morrison.

In a nutshell:

I have fibromyalgia 

Herniated disks
Osteophytic bars in my back and neck

I was a car crash for 5 years until nearly a year ago and I couldn’t even push a hoover around or play with my little one in the park through fear of being debilitated for days after....

Now I’m having a serious crack at the worlds and Britain’s Strongest Woman in September. 

I really thought my days of competing were over. It’s been 5 years since I’ve competed, but thanks to SMM and End Range putting me back on the right path…. The future, dare I say, looks pretty fucking awesome.

I’ll have another go  in a few more weeks and  hopefully get some much better numbers. 

Tom, you rock!

So I signed up to SMM 10 weeks ago in a right state. Loads of pain from disc protrusion, not sleeping, hundreds of pounds spent on osteo and chiropractors....  I was in a dark place and thought why not give this a go. Tom Morrison seems pretty mad but what have I got to lose..!

The test have simply been a non-starter as for the full range of excersises just impossible!  So, I did what I could and have built on this! 

Some excersise are still really hard and in full regression. But slowly and surely things are improving my pain is down to almost nothing, just struggle first thing after sleeping. But sleeping is good, mood is lifting and I continue to try and get through all the excersise but only done the full round twice in 10 weeks. 

Where I am now compared to few weeks ago is amazing. No extra treatment just the excersise I do as often as I can. 

Cheers Tom and team it really works, and anybody struggling don’t feel bad and keep the faith! It’s not quick but I think it will solve the problems I have and be way better long term. 

#sideplanckmarchesareyouactuallyserious!

Before I started using SMM I was constantly suffering from training injuries. All as a result of a lack of mobility in my hips, thoracic and shoulder regions.

Now after having used the system consistently over the past months I can attempt moves such as the OHS with confidence, greater weight and far better form than I ever had before.

For me at 58 years old, being injury free is a paramount concern and I can honestly say that since using SMM my incidence of injuries has pretty much disappeared.

This really does work!!

I would not be where I am today (my back & muscle problems) without the Simplistic Mobility Method. The progress I have made in 12 months and the mobility I have so far (and there is still aways to go) I owe to finding Tom Morrison on f/b and starting his programme from his Youtube videos.

Had I not done this I would be crippled, or on toxic medicatins.

I'm on top of the world and will continue Tom's program. It's gentle, I can do at my pace, he shows right/wrong how to do. I ave become stronger and stronger, more flexible and painless (within a small degree).

CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH TOM MORRISON!

I’ve had a left hip labral tear with FAI diagnosis around mid of last year. It was due to overuse injuries (a case of too much too fast). Did an MRI to confirm that.

I was referred to physiotherapy, but made small or little progress. I was still in pain daily, in movements, in sitting, everywhere I move I was in pain.

I took the plunge into SMM early this year after coming across Tom and Jenni’s posts and videos and started my own research and reading on rehab and experimenting.

Around into my 4th month of SMM, I am super surprised that I made good recovery. Now, I am almost pain free in my hips. I’ve gotten stronger to proceed onto more weights stuff even. It’s a good, well-rounded program I can’t praise it enough really. It works.

I’ve multiple injuries and am hyper mobile, so that kind of complicated things, but with the results now, I can testify that, being strong in your movements is so so important (flexibility+strength). I needed more strength while appreciating the flexibility. Probably that’s how I got injured the first place.

Give yourself time, be patient, trust the process. Of course, my circumstances may be different, but hope this sharing brings hope! Take care! A shoutout to Tom Morrison and Jenni Sanders for being that lifesaver! 

SUCCESS! I do SMM 4-5 times per week and look at the change in my flexibility in just six months:

The best thing that happened to me! After "tweaking" my lower back, twinge/mini spasms followed, my lower back locking up after Zurcher squatting. Then along came "The Simplistic Mobility Method."

Hopefully you don't have to suffer a training mishap before you use the exercises. Needless to say, you will FINALLY learn about your weak areas, needless to say you will "feel" being worked.

And results a lot quicker than you will expect. Myself, shoulders, mid/upper back extreme tight. After 2 weeks, more mobility than I have ever had, especially in my shoulders. No where near where it needs to be, but a vast improvement.

A added benefit? I draw free hand. With my shoulders loosening up, more mobility has transferred to my hand...sooo it moves more freely, not "herky jerky", more under control. Who knew?

You yourself can expect some added benefits as well.

SMM milestone session #100.

Little did I know when I started this on Dec 1 2020 that this program would enable me to take back control of my own body.

6 years of non-stop back pain, trapped nerves, sore glutes, quads, tight hamstrings now feel like a thing of the past.

Waking up and getting out of bed is now not an effort and I love my 5 minute morning routine to wake up all of the areas I am now aware I need to work on.

Body awareness is what SMM brings to the table. I am now aware of where is achy and what moves to do to ease it.

I now look forward to playing with my kids compared to dreading playing with them in case something acted up.

I am now back on the bike and doing hard planned watt based training sessions and have no ill affects after each session.

Hoping to start back running soon too. All a while keeping on top of SMM and other movements that Tom and Jenni promote.

The £60 for SMM is worth its weight in millions. 

Thanks again Tom and Jenni and I look forward to what the next 100 sessions bring!

I have never thought that my CrossFit skills were worthy of boasting about.

I’ve spent 5 years thinking I’m just a bit shit at it, but liking it too much to quit ...except for when my knee pain became too bad and I did actually quit for a year!

Then lockdown happened.... and I discovered Tom Morrison in August 2020.

At that point I couldn’t even squat clean an empty bar, let alone with decent form or technique because I was so scared of the pain in my knee.

This picture was taken last night... I then went on to do 42 squat cleans at this weight (35kg). No knee sleeves!

Not only that but after 5 years, 1 month and 16 days of my love/hate relationship with CrossFit, I can finally string double unders together 🙌🏼🙌🏼

I honestly wouldn’t be at this point now without SMM!

WHAT IS THIS SORCERY?!!

How can one round of those exercises make me feel so much better ?!?!
Truely fascintating, already hooked - thank you so much!

So I’m about two and a half weeks in of doing SMM five days a week, and I realised today that my back and shoulders aren’t super tight and sore... But I didn’t realise they were tight and sore until now they aren’t???

I realised from my test photos my shoulders were rounded and my head was forwarded, but I hadn’t even registered how tight there were... I got into SMM to fix my hips and knees!!

Tom you're a legend! Managing to get the routine in a bit more (3 times this week, it'll be 4 next week). 

I've had an old drinking/swimming injury that has plagued me for nearly 17 years! I nearly completely destroyed it (again) 4 years back doing kipping pull ups, (had 20 strict at the time so was "bulletproof")

Anyway, I noticed the zenith rotations were really "catching" it, I added banded resistance this morning and holy shit it feels brand new!

I'm a qualified physical therapist so it's rare I'm that blown away by something so simple (hence the name of the method I guess)! So many others have tried "fixing" my shoulder and it hasn't felt this good!

*mini update*

Yesterday was my 3rd day completing SMM, once I was finished I was able to stand up tall, with no back pain, for the first time in 18 months!

In the evening I took my kids to a Christmas concert which advertised that it had plenty of seating. It did not. After sitting on the floor for 3 hours I was expecting to wake up in a world of pain this morning but much to my surprise apart from a bit of stiffness, which went away after my new morning SMM routine, all was good!

I still have a long way to go but I’m amazed by the progress in just a few days!

In shoulders always had a residual pain that it's practically gone! Very happy with that.

Yesterday I get my first handstand push up, and after that get a 5x8 series in a row! Think that it was possible because a get a better position. And was able to correct my position when I lose it, and that awareness is amazing! Because before, if I lost the position it meant I fell down.

The SMM is awesome!

Big, big, big thank you Tom Morrison! I started on 25th August because I had been struggling all summer, unable to run with a painful achillies caused by a naggy calf... but it improved massively in week 1 and is hardly noticeable now!

And I did my first triathlon yesterday! It was only a 5k run in the tri, but no niggles... and after trying EVERYTHING all summer... I'm over the moon! THANK YOU!!!

This is actually an amazingly well put together mobility program. I've had tones of injuries throughout the years that led to instabilities all throughout my body.

I've had 1000's of hours researching what exercises are best to try and get rid of the pain and this program removes all that research and gives you the best set of exercises to remove instability that you can find.

This isn't a paid advertisement. I'm just happy with someone actually offers and awesome product.

Two weeks ago, I had to stop running due to knee pain and I saw this advert on Facebook and thought I'd give it a go.
 

After only two weeks of doing the SMM exercises daily I just ran 3 miles pain free.

I am by no means there yet with my mobility as my body is still very tight but having this happen after only two weeks has given me such a boost to keep going.  🥳🥳🥳 Thank you so much 🙌🙌🙌

I started SMM about 6 weeks ago. My issue was that I had a sciatic type pain down my left side. Every day I was stretching and doing yoga to try and relieve the pain, but I was getting nowhere. All I wanted to do was get back to my football/GAA training for the new seasons. 

After 6 weeks of SMM consistently doing the programme 4-6 times per week (adding the Hip CARs which Tom gave me too) I am back to my sport and in better condition than I was last season where I played every game. I literally cannot believe it! 

My sciatic pain feels more like a deep tightness in the left glute which seems to loosen up after SMM. Hopefully if I keep this going and it will be eliminated completely, however the progress is immense. 

For anyone else starting out, please stick at it and be consistent with it. Don’t do it half assed and dedicate the time to doing the movements as correctly as you can. 

I got a lot of pain in other areas at the start as well including the middle of my lower back, but I think that was my body adjusting to these new moves, so if you feel worse after the first few sessions don’t be disheartened. Trust the process.

1 month of SMM came to an end and I'm very happyyy with my improvements!

For years now, I'm struggling with several injuries. I was one of those, who loved deadlifting, squatting, running until it started with the:

Hips X
Knees X
Spine X
Shoulder X

I felt stiff and it was more and more frustrating. There are so many mobility drills and programs out there, but I don't know why, it was hard to stick to them. Either it was just too much to work on or I couldn't get into the right position.

Long Story short.. I discovered SMM and tried it. The 1st test was hard... deep lunge 4 and 6/10. Instability in the 'simple' balance test. Lot of tension in the couch stretch, NO side plank leg lift.
 

My shoulder seemed to be ok, hamstrings too. I did SMM 3-4x/ week. I noticed fast improvements in the spine. I could sit more upright and the rotational things got easier. In the beginning I needed 30 min and I sweat a lot. 🥵
 

But it got better. And now I retest and it seems to work. It look way better and more stable in many positions. But most important for me, I feel sooo much better. I can train without pain, my knee doesn't hurt anymore when going upstairs... 🥰😍  It's an incredible feeling. AND now I can hold the side plank leg lift for 10 sec. 
 

I'm so happy that I've discovered your website Tom Morrison. This group here is very helpful. So thank you sooo much. 🙏 The program is as its name 'simple' and that's why it works for me. No fancy stuff, just simple drills. 
 

I'll do 4 more SMM-weeks where I'll add more reps and time on hip, ankle and core. So let's see what this will bring. 🥳🤸
 

Greetings from Germany!

Just thought I’d share my progress for any of you that are feeling you’ll never get there like I did! Genuinely thought i was a lost cause!!! 

Form could be better in the overhead squat I think but overall really pleased with where I am at now.

The first pics are from Jan and the second ones are taken today (June):

When I first contacted Tom, I thought I was on the road to hanging up my goggles with neck and back problems. I’ve had the programme for about a month and followed it about twice a week.

I’ve now been for 2 hour lake swims and it’s all been good! Bit achy but I can rotate my shoulder, no pain when swimming, no pins and needles, I can turn my neck better and I can walk out instead of crawl because my back hasn’t locked up.

I’m feeling much more positive about continuing swimming and lifting x

My friend and I had a giggle with the camera whilst swimming!

Two and a half years ago I found SMM. 

I had chronic hip pain and struggled to even get out my car, I also had a long standing restriction in my right shoulder following an accident and very rarely used a bar for shoulder press.

Front squats and overhead squats weren’t even in my dictionary. 

Yesterday At 62 years young I took part in my first weightlifting Scotland competition!

So glad I found this programme and I recommend it to everyone I speak to.

Can’t thank Tom enough for all the advise and information given in this group and to Jenni for her brilliant demonstrations of each exercise

"I was very sceptical at first of buying SMM. I didn’t want to spend money on something that didn’t work, but I took the chance anyways... and I am so thankful that I did!

It’s seriously amazing how much better it is making me feel, making me move better, and because I can move better and am hurting less and less each session - I swear it’s literally making me happier!

I was sold right away after the 1st or 2nd session of SMM. I used to do powerlifting so I thought I was real strong, yet some how the first few sessions of SMM actually got me sore in weird little places I never felt before!

So I knew if I’m getting sore from some of the things that I can literally get stronger off it.

Stronger off a mobility program?! No way?! Who would of ever thought that?! 

So I ended up talking to Tom and he said that people usually do SMM first, and that End Range Training is the next step and is actually a lot more for strength. 

Usually I’ll be very hesitant to buy a strength training program from anyone considering I’ve worked with people like Ed Coan, Stan Efferding, a lot of the original members of Big Iron (a legendary powerlifting gym & team), Dustin Reed, and many, many, many other top guys in the game in powerlifting … so what else could I learn from a non powerlifting person?!

Turns out a lot!! I swear even the End Range warm up is worth gold to me! And I’ve yet to do a lot of the End Range stuff, but you without a doubt WILL get your money’s worth for that program, guaranteed!

So I’m like "ok this guy definitely knows his stuff" so I looked at his coaching and at first I’m like "dang that’s kind of a bit of money",  but I knew from what I already experienced with SMM and talking to him that it’d be worth it. 

I’m already a week in to his coaching and wow am I impressed!!! For the value he brings I know longer think at all that his coaching is expensive.

I’ve worked with tons of great coaches and he is definitely amoung the best.

Especially when it comes to really helping you out and talking to you telling you what to do. You can tell he truly cares and puts time and effort into it!

I am EXTREMELY impressed and sometimes almost feel guilty that that’s all I’m paying him. Seeing big results already I’m not kidding I feel way better!

I can say with high confidence that anything you purchase from Tom you will not regret!!!

Thanks Tom for everything you’re amazing!!!"

I have been doing this for about 2+ wees and already have seen improvements - it's a miracle!

Tonight I did overhead squats with 30kg, kept an upright torso and squatted to full depth.

What? Where did that come from! Two weeks ago I couldn't overhead squat below parallel without collapsing forwards.

Love your program

"I had constant lower back pain and I've been following your drills and I've been using Simplistic Mobility Method which I purchased. It's changed my life!

With having a really physical job and being self-employed too it's made such a big difference to me.

I don't even have to stretch everyday now and I'm pain free!

Opening my hips and improving my flexibility has been a game changer.

Thank you for all you do!"

"Well this is interesting. Top was 4th, bottom today the 14th. Look at the difference! I've been concentrating almost entirely on the moves to open up my hips and it's working.

Sciatica starting to subside too!"

"First started seeing Tom on T-Nation's page, and right away seemed extremely knowledgeable.

So the more I looked into his page and history I realized I relate a lot to his history and thought I would give his SMM a try - considering all the weightlifting I’ve done in the past years has caused some extreme stiffness in my joints, especially shoulders and hips.

2 days into his SMM program and not only am I sore in places I have never felt lol, but I am more mobile in those areas after just 2 sessions!!! Can’t wait to see my form in the gym progress from this program!!! Definitely give it a try!!!!"

"I am a huge fan. This material has been among the most useful on multiple levels.

Personally, I have experienced a big improvement in my mobility, my stability and my activation capacity. But beyond this and professionally speaking, the content has given me great assessment and programming tools.

My only problem with Tom and Jenni's videos is that the more I watch the more work I want to do and there is only 24 hours in a day! That and Jenni's fitness level is just irritating!"

Ever been sceptical about online courses? I always was but SMM has changed my mobility to a point I thought I'd never get to. Trust me. Get SMM and invest 30 min, 4 times a week, to change how your body feels and moves. Amazing and easy to follow with Tom and Jenni.

"I would highly recommend to anyone reading Tom's posts to purchase SMM, particularly if you are experiencing any aches or pains.

It's so easy to follow, I like how the exercises lead into each other, helping you deal with your main issue while working on strengthening the body as a unit... as we all know "everything is linked".

Alongside the tutorials you receive, you also have access to the Facebook Group to discuss how you're getting on, or if you have a query - and Tom get's right back to you!

So for me, it's the best money I have spent on myself to keep my body mobile and pain free... go for it!"

"I found Tom through T-nation and eventually purchased The Simplistic Mobility Method which I've now been using for no more than a week or so and I can see it already helping me quite a bit with my imbalances.

The material is put together in a way that everybody can understand. All of the exercises can be done almost anywhere as practically no equipment is needed!

No more endless foam rolling, band distractions or stretches that do nothing for the ROM - only pure quality movement. I would and am recommending this to everyone I know!"

"One of the best resources available out there with regard to mobility, functional training, humour etc. - the depth of knowledge from Tom & Jenni is mind boggling!!"

"Can't believe how much my front rack has improved after just a week of SMM.

Elbows were barely past vertical pointing down [in front rack position], now they are more than half way to horizontal - what black magic is this ?!"

"I’m new to SMM as of last week.

I’m a regular 47 year old stay at home mum and I do CrossFit. I started when I was 40 and it’s a huge part of my life.

Over the past few years I have not looked after my mobility so it has slowly decreased so much so that now I have discomfort walking for any length of time (which is a pretty basic requirement), single sided back pain & hip irritation on the same side being on the top of my list, but stupidly so, I have ignored all the signs and now I’ve ended up with terrible Sciatic pain.

Any fellow CrossFitter will understand how addictive this sport can be and it requires every muscle to work in synergy. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea but as a female it is hugely empowering & it is amazing the things are bodies are capable of.

I started SMM last week and have been doing two sessions daily, straight away it highlighted all of my weak areas, the worst being the Kickstand Squat and lunges due to lack of ankle mobility & internal rotation due to rounded shoulders.

At first I found most of the exercises very stiff but was able to get through them, now a week on I can’t believe how much better I feel.

After listening to Tom's talk on “No one can solve this, only you” everything clicked into place: I’ve been spending wasted time on Glute activation drills when all the time my hip Adduction was the problem - lack of Adduction has ruined my knees, weakened my core, shut down one Glute and collapsed my foot arch.  

I have a lot of work to do on re-levelling my pelvis before I can pick up a Barbell again, but there is no time like the present.

Thank you so much Tom and Jenni for all your hard work putting the videos together, I have managed to piece together the strengthening exercises I need to repair my body.

Now I have discovered SMM I can’t use age as an excuse, it just takes a bit longer to recover and you have to train accordingly... I may even be mobile enough to compete again!"

"After 3 months of SMM the low back stiffness I was experiencing is gone completely. Also, my balance is notably better, as is my hip mobility, glute strength and general range of motion in all areas."

"I have been doing SMM for 9 sessions now over 2 weeks. It's very difficult and enlightening!

I weight train and train handstands. I have the most horrible right shoulder ever. But the program has already started to ease the pain.

Today I was training handstands, and for the first time ever felt a good burn in the middle of my back, which is typically a "dead zone" for me. I usually do everything with my neck and levators. Plus, my shoulders felt light and easy.

This was amazing and awesome. I am so very encouraged by this work and also by all the posts from you all following the program.

Thanks Tom Morrison for your teaching!"

"Bought SMM. Figured you earned if after I paid 5 years physiotherapy for left shoulder and 9 months physiotherapy for hips/lower back now working and being told to basically "live with it" at 31.

Now after two weeks 5 minutes a day I feel better than ever and 90& of my pain is gone.

Can't wait to see what more SMM will bring me.

Thank you so much for improving my life a whole bunch."

"Finding Tom and his programmes has set me free from the unnecessary or 'sorted out the wood from the trees'. If you've got limited time and but really want to set your body free to be more awesome, buy his stuff! He's super helpful and generally makes me smile!

I can honestly say that my body has never been stronger or more mobile since starting The Simplistic Mobility Method"

"I prolapsed a couple of disks a few years ago. Years of rehab couldn’t completely eradicate the pain or help my movement.

Tom Morrison comes along and boom, I’ve competed in strongman comps, been running and I’m pain free and move so much better.

Tom deserves happy endings forthwith rest of his life in my humble opinion!"

"Tom Morrison you're a genius!!

My daughter is a fanatical dancer and has suffered severe pain in her hips, back, knees, feet and thighs over the past year.

We are working through the 'normal' X-Rays, Physio and scans with little progress so far.

One hour with you, Mr Enthusiasm, working on her mobility (and perhaps more importantly, her education) proved illuminating.

An immediate reduction in pain, and improvement in balance, and a much greater understanding of the interaction between strength, flexibility and dancing longevity = life-long happy dancing!!!

Thank you soo much! xx"

"When I contacted Tom after Nationals last year my squat PR was 337.5kg. Now it's 345kg and I think it's looking a lot more symmetrical.

My body has never felt this good in the lead up to and during competition.

Thanks for your help!"

"When I discovered Tom I was a very injured, depressed, runner who was on the verge of jacking it in and taking up knitting...

12 months on, using SMM pretty much daily (plus other snippets from Tom) I represented my County in the Intercounty Fell Running Championships!

Thanks so much Tom. Truly, incredibly grateful to you."

This has proved to be top class for me. Best investment I've made in a long time. And I'm not at it that long.

Two bulging discs and 3 epidurals prior to signing up to the SMM.

Consistent with it for the last 18 months, two years and took on my first weightlifting competition on Friday, European masters online.

PB'ed the two lifts and more importantly, no pain and good mobility!!!!!!! Tom and Jenni know their s**t!!

SMM forever!!

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you, what a brilliant program.

3 days and I can move my neck without my shoulders and torso coming along for the ride. Stairs are great now as well, I can walk up them without screaming.

This is all doing the program modified, can't wait to see what I'm capable of when I can move like Jenni!"

"Tom is the real deal. He takes out the guesswork and gives you all the tools you need to work on your mobility & strength in the most effective way possible.

Years of stretching, foam rolling, doctor's visits, trying every mobility program under the sun. Nothing was able to provide what SMM did so effortlessly:  immediate results and the confidence in my ability to finally overcome my aches, pains, imbalances etc. to feel healthy and strong again.

Most of all, finding this programs saved me hours and hours of doings things that I was never really sure would work.. and it turned out they didn't.

The Simplistic Mobility Method is exactly that: simplistic. No fluff, no unnecessary baggage, just amazing drills that will give you the foundation for whatever your training might be.

And yet, Tom delivers his message in such a light-hearted and humorous way that his content is equally uplifting as effective.

Plus his support shows that he deeply cares about your success. And yes, he IS incredibly nice to look at."
