Becoming a Ninja: Welcome to Prehab Dojo with Skip Kelly

Skip Kelly is a corrective exercise specialist, trainer of Olympic athletes, and founder and CEO of the Prehab Dojo. Prehabing may help you with current injuries, get you ready for the day, or even improve cognition.

“When you're prehabing your spine to decompress it, you're realistically compressing it at a high intensity. That will allow it to decompress itself if it wants to.”
