Bob Cooley's In Person & Online Stretch Class

I would like to say a huge “thank you” to Bob and the staff at the Genius of Flexibility for giving me the opportunity to stretch with you today. My first time ever taking a zoom class, was quite nervous. I am a very private person and not keen on being online, hence my dark screen, thank you for not calling me out on it. I purchased your book and have followed you for a few years, but was never sure if I was doing things the right way, being able to watch you point out different positions was extremely helpful. The class was amazing! My body has energy buzzing thru it and I feel great! I am so glad I participated, and hope to sign up for more classes. Again, thank you and have a great weekend. ~ Lisa B

Thank you - and Bob - and all for the session Saturday. It was truly magical for me - from not thinking we would have a class then to have it on the exact stretch I needed. I injured my hip in a horseback accident in 2017 - I pulled my femur out of my hip socket and I have had varying degrees of pain since. I was in a wheelchair for a while - I found some healing relief from a chiropractor in Hawaii (he was a Van Rumpt apprentice for many years prior to settling in Hawaii); I was able to go back to riding and swimming a mile every day in 2018 - and then reinjured the piriformis in spring 2022. I have been in constant pain since that reinjury - no swimming, and wondered if I would wlk again. That's when I found Bob Cooley on the internet and Patrick Gregston on Zoom last summer. I was making faint progress at times, back to excruciating pain some days - but finally after re-doing yesterday's wall stretch today, I think I did an actual stretch. I think my fascia moved today - and the excruciating pain eased. And I also think the stretch may be working on my left leg fibula and tibula ankle area (both bones broken in a perpendicular way from a skiing injure decades ago. That old injury has been sort of dormant, but I am sure the area has scar fascia tissue. I was on crutches for 14 months and then a walking cast for another four months. All of it is truly magical.

I really think an in-person visit would be great, but I'm . I shall keep working at it - and see what the next few weeks bring. But for today, I am so grateful for the pain relief - and the magic of the perfect stretch and series of stretches Saturday. It seems that Bob has a mental connection with his class. The stretches he chose were truly magic for me, but I thought for everyone in the room and on Zoom. Are we all such a collective wreck? Thank you for the work you do. ~ Valere
