Built to Move

Kelly Starrett / Juliet Starrett · 2023

A more accessible Starrett entry point organized around daily physical practices and tests.

Why it belongs
Pairs well with starter kits because it frames self-maintenance as everyday behavior rather than elite mobility culture.

Read the reference first; buy only if it answers a real question for your body or practice.

Why read it

The friendlier Starrett book: less atlas of faults, more checklist for maintaining human ranges and habits.

Key idea

Small daily practices can preserve options before a product or protocol is needed.

Try this

Run one mobility vital sign, choose one tiny intervention, and retest without chasing perfection.

Best for

  • Readers who want practical tests
  • People intimidated by the density of Supple Leopard

Read with caution

  • Self-tests should not become self-diagnoses
  • Painful or worsening symptoms deserve clinical input
