Testimonial for Mike T Nelson from Robert Orr, RKC II
Robert Orr stopped in to see me a few weeks ago right before the RKC II. If you are in the Virginia Beach area, but sure to check him out! We were able to get both of his glutes to fire (via Z Health ankle work) and both hamstrings (ankle and elbow work) and I did some hands on work on a scar on his left ankle. Overall he did awesome and rocked the RKC II the following days, so a big shout out to him and congrats!!
Here is the first email I got from him after the session
“It’s crazy, I walked in with a tight hammie, ankle and back. During the weekend, I had none of those problems and still haven’t. Other than a sore L ankle…just like you said I would.
I am excited about the direction this reprogramming is heading.”
And here is a testimonial, verbatim in his words.
Mike,
Here you go. I hope this works for you. This stuff just seems too simple
I contacted Mike with a goal to ensure I have proper form on the R-Phase drills. Mike conducted an assessment of my injury history and movement patterns. Mike made short work of confirming several issues; some were simple others were unknown to me. The short list: a hammie that refused to fire, an ankle locked, an elbow with less than full ROM... The years of abuse on this frame have taken a toll.
After a few drills, my ankle and hammie were unlocked; exactly what needed after spending the day on an airplane. As an added bonus, my back was pain free for the first time in a month. I went through the RKC II weekend without feeling my body’s ailments.
I definitely received more than I anticipated in my meeting with Mike. It doesn’t matter if your goal is to set a PR in your event or just to play with your kids; pain free. You owe it to yourself to meet with Mike as soon as you can. Your quality of life is at stake.

Thanks again to Robert for stopping by. More good stuff to come soon and a cool story about a top level athlete and some much need thumb mobility. Yes the thumb!!


















MIke,
Nice work and great testimonial as well! I’m glad to hear you’ve successfully turned in your PhD writtens.
Ah, the dreaded thumb mobility. I’ve had an interesting experience with my thumbs as well. Can’t wait to hear the story you’ve got!
Rock On!
Katie
Thanks Katie–much appreciated!
Yeah, who would have thought much about thumb mobility? Full story coming soon, just waiting for more feedback from the athlete and hopefully (fingers crossed) a testimonial to help “prove” that mobility work can be extremely useful for athletes in at the highest level.
Rock on
Mike N
