The Wade Well Method is a science-based, mind-body training system designed for anglers and outdoor athletes who want to stay strong, mobile, and injury-free for life. Rooted in functional movement, joint health, balance, and mindfulness, it teaches you how to move well so you can fish, hike, and live with more ease and longevity, on and off the water.
The Wade Well Method isn’t about biohacking, life hacks, or chasing the latest wellness trends. It’s about returning to the fundamentals that actually support long-term health: consistent movement, time outdoors, adequate recovery, quality sleep, and being in community. Rather than adding more protocols or complexity, the Wade Well approach focuses on simple, sustainable practices that fit into real lives. This is long-term health designed to help you feel capable, resilient, and at home in your body for decades, not just a season.
Developed by Lindsay Kocka, a certified Functional Range Conditioning mobility specialist, MovNat natural movement coach, Functional Kettlebell strength trainer, therapeutic yoga teacher, and myofascial release practitioner, the Wade Well Method blends techniques from mobility training, strength and stability work, breath mechanics, and mindful recovery to meet the real demands of outdoor life: long days standing, wading, casting, and traveling.
