“Your Reset Starts Here.”
Pick the move your body needs most right now. You only need 60 seconds. No equipment. No experience.
“Start With This (If You’re Not Sure What You Need)”
This is my simplest SSR™ move. It opens the ribs, calms the neck, and turns down protective tension gently.
(After you're done, take 10 steps and see how you feel different or same)
Whatever you feel — lighter breath, more space, or even nothing yet — tell me in the comments after you’re done.
Naming your experience actually helps your body repeat the change.
How to do Wall Leans:
- Stand with your shoulder and hip lightly touching a wall.
- Soften your knees — no locking.
- If you’re right-handed, lean on your right side.If you’re left-handed, lean on your left side.(You only need one side — but you can do both if your body wants it.)
- Lean gently into the wall until your ribs on that side begin to open.
- Let the opposite ribs expand as you breathe in.
- Keep the pressure gentle — the miracle is in the softness.
Why this works:
- No overwhelm
- Clear and intuitive
- Doesn’t break the somatic flow
- Feels like permission, not instruction
If you felt even a 5% shift, your body is responsive — and that’s a big deal.
This next routine resets the deeper tension zone that keeps most people feeling tight, stressed, and stuck in protective mode.
“Most people think constant tightness means their muscles are weak or damaged.
But what you just felt — that little bit of softening — is your body proving the tightness was a guard, not a flaw.
Tightness doesn’t mean broken.
Tightness means ‘I don’t feel safe yet.'
This move just helped your system feel safer.
Thanks for visiting and trusting me with the sanctity of your health and wellbeing. Remember, it's not about where you are but the direction you're going that matters most."
James Ko, Sports Physical Therapist • Nervous System Specialist • Movement Educator
I’m James — a sports PT, nervous-system nerd, and over-50 dad who learned the hard way that most of our tension isn’t “tight muscles”…it’s a body stuck in protection mode.
For years I pushed through pain, ignored stress, and tried to out-exercise everything I felt.
Didn’t work. My body braced harder.
The real change happened when I finally slowed down, listened, and learned how to send my nervous system the right signals instead of fighting against it.
Now I teach people how to feel grounded again — with gentle moves, real-life strategies, and a nervous-system approach that actually helps your body feel safe enough to heal.
Your body isn’t broken.It’s talking. I’m here to help you hear it.
