Train hard without living in the pain loop.
The Bookends Blueprint is a once-a-year enrollment period to my performance coaching program for current athletes, former athletes, and active adults who are tired of being frustrated choosing between looking good, getting out of pain, and moving well and ready to finally do them all.
Performance coaching + physical therapy thinking, built for active adults who want to get stronger, move better, and stop getting set back every time life gets busy.
In 90 days, you will:
Train around pain while actually fixing what is driving it
Build strength and muscle without flare-ups
Know exactly what to do when something feels “off” so you do not spiral and stop
You’ve Been here Before
You're not new to this. You've tried:
Generic PT that treated you like a number and sent you home with a printout of exercises you could've Googled
YouTube rabbit holes where you're Frankensteining programs together and hoping you're not making it worse
Cookie-cutter training plans that don't account for your knee that flares up, your shoulder that aches, or that treat you like you’re 22, not a parent of 2.
And every time you start making progress? Something tweaks. You back off. You lose momentum. Repeat.
The result? You're stuck in no-man's-land: not injured enough to justify going back to PT, but not healthy enough to train the way you want to. Maybe rest and a massage will fix it this time.
Meanwhile, you watch people your age continue to do the things you want to do. Or the alternative you watch your peers begin to “feel their age” and you refuse to be that person.
If you keep doing what you are doing, you will keep restarting.
The problem is not your motivation. It is that your plan is not built to adapt when pain or life shows up.
There’s A Better Way
You don't need another program. You need a performance physical therapist and strength coach in your corner who:
Trains you around pain while fixing the root cause
Builds strength and muscle without aggravating old injuries
Keeps you accountable so you don't fall into all-or-nothing cycles
Helps you prioritize what actually matters when life gets chaotic
That's what The Bookends Blueprint does.
This isn't a 6-week fix. It's ongoing coaching designed for people who want to move like an athlete, look like one, and stay that way for decades—not just quarters.
WHO THIS IS FOR:
Former competitive athletes dealing with nagging injuries that won't quit
Active adults who keep getting sidelined by the same recurring issues
Anyone tired of choosing between "looking good" and "feeling good"
People who need a coach in their pocket to help them stick to the plan when life gets messy
WHO THIS ISN'T FOR:
People looking for a quick fix or magic bullet for their pain
Anyone unwilling to show up consistently
Those who just want a program and don't value coaching, learning, feedback, or accountability.
How it Works
This isn't just "online programming." It's a full-spectrum coaching relationship designed to keep you progressing without setbacks.
Every Month, You Get:
📲 Personalized Performance and Rehab Programming
Weekly program updates tailored to your pain levels, goals, and progress. Real-time adjustments as needed to account for YOUR rehab and what’s going on in YOUR life.
🎥 Daily Feedback
Unlimited form and progression checks. 24-hour response time on weekdays. You will always know what to change next session. Leave a review of how a session went and I take immediate action to adjust program accordingly. Your coach in your pocket at all times.
🎯 Phase-Specific Program Previews and Progress Reviews
Each time we shift training phases, you get a video breakdown of what we're building next and how it fits into your bigger picture. Walking through what's working, what's changing, and why. Full transparency into your programming.
📞 Monthly Strategy Calls (30 min)
Live check-in to troubleshoot, celebrate wins, and adjust course as life happens.
💬 Direct Messaging Access
Questions about pain, form, nutrition, or "is this normal?" Get answers fast. But more importantly: when life gets chaotic, and you're tempted to go all-or-nothing, I help you prioritize what actually matters so you keep moving forward.
🍽️ Nutrition Guidance
Post-injury and performance nutrition strategies so you're not spinning your wheels in the gym while sabotaging yourself in the kitchen.
🎯 Accountability That Actually Works
This isn't about shame or guilt. It's about having someone who knows your goals, understands your constraints, and helps you make the best decision in the moment - not the perfect decision that only exists in theory.
But here's what makes this different:
Most online coaches check in once a month and call it "personalized." You're getting multiple touchpoints per week - workout reviews, progress updates, program feedback forms, and real-time adjustments.
You're not following a program. You're being coached.
What happens after you enroll
Your first 10 days (so you know exactly what you are buying):
Day 0: Intake + goals + injury history + training setup
Day 1 to 2: Mobility and capacity assessment + baseline testing
Day 3: Your first week of training drops in Everfit
Week 1: Form check and other feedback + pain plan rules (what to do when it flares)
Week 2: First progress review + updates based on real data
This isn't a program with a start and end date. It's ongoing performance coaching designed to keep you progressing for as long as you want to train.

All tiers continue seamlessly. No contracts, no hard stops. This is coaching, not a prison sentence. You can pause, cancel, or adjust anytime.
If you're ready to stop getting derailed by injuries that shouldn't still be holding you back, let's build something that lasts
Who is Coaching You?
I’m Dr. Morgan Stanley PT, DPT - physical therapist, strength coach and formerly an overly competitive athlete. And my Chief Vibes Officer (and entire personality) Ripley the golden retriever is my right hand man. We will be in charge of your programming.
I’ve spent my Physical Therapy career honing my craft in getting people feeling like athletes and athletes feeling like themselves again.
I run Bookends Rehab and Performance in West Holloywood, but this coaching is designed for anyone, anywhere who’s serious about long-term health and performance.
Here’s a bit about what I believe:
You shouldn't have to choose between looking good, feeling good and performing well - whatever “perform” means to you.
The best training program is the one that adapts to YOU - the other way around.
A good training and rehab program should be simplebut that doesn’t mean it is EASY.
Progress isn't linear, and having a coach who helps you navigate the messy middle is what separates people who last from people who fall back into the pain trap.
FAQs
Is this actually personalized or is it a template?
1
Fully personalized. Your program is written for you, updated weekly based on your feedback, and adjusted in real-time as pain levels improve or life circumstances change.
What if I need to pause or cancel?
2
Life happens. If you need to pause for reasons we cannot work around we’ll work it out. This is a partnership, not a prison sentence.
I'm not in LA - can I still do this?
3
Absolutely. 99% of this happens remotely via Everfit and Loom. The only in-person component (for Gold members) is optional and can be swapped for a recovery package.
What if I'm not sure which tier is right for me?
4
Book a free 15-min strategy call and we'll figure it out together. No pressure.
Enrollment special closes January 15, 2026 with coaching kicking off January 20th (or soooner if you’re ready). You can sign up throughout the year at the standard price of $350 per month.
5
When does this start?
Do I need to pay in full or can I do payment plans?
6
Paying in full unlocks the best discounts. Payment plans are available for Silver and Gold but cost slightly more—we can discuss options on a strategy call if needed.
Access to a gym with barbells, dumbbells, and basic machines. If you train at home, we'll work with what you've got - but results are better with more tools.
7
What equipment do I need?
What happens if I want to upgrade from plans later?
8
You can upgrade anytime. We'll figure out the details together based on where you're at
