Choose the support this trip needs.

Not sure whether to start with the Free Mini-Check, use the Starter Kit, or consider Advisory?

Direct answer

Start with the Free Mini-Check if the trip is still early, simple, or unclear. Use the Trip Fit Check & Starter Kit when you have one real trip and want a structured way to think it through. Consider Trip Fit Check + Pain Specialist Advisory when the trip is close, costly, complex, medically sensitive, previously difficult, or hard to repeat.

Choose your next step

Use Free Mini-Check if

  • The trip is early, simple, flexible, or low-stakes.
  • Your energy is low and you need one practical place to start.

Use Starter Kit if

  • You have one real trip and want a structured plan to work through.
  • You can make the planning changes yourself.
  • The trip matters, but it is not clearly high-stakes.

Consider Advisory if

  • The cost of a poor fit would be high.
  • The trip is close, costly, complex, medically sensitive, previously difficult, or hard to repeat.

A boundary to remember

All TBL options are planning support only. They do not provide medical clearance, diagnosis, treatment, prescribing, or emergency help.

Related questions

What do most people start with?

If the trip is still unclear, start with the Free Mini-Check. If you already have one real trip and need structure, the Starter Kit is usually the better next step. If the trip is high-stakes, consider Advisory.

Can I use Starter Kit before Advisory?

Yes. Starter Kit can help you understand the trip load before deciding whether Advisory is worth it. If the trip is already close, costly, complex, or hard to repeat, Advisory may be the better first paid step.

Is Advisory better than Starter Kit?

Not always. Advisory is for higher-stakes trips. Starter Kit is usually better when you can work through a structured plan yourself.
