Stick Mobility is a training system that improves your mobility, stability, and strength. The system combines joint mobilization, strength training, and active stretching to increase athletic performance, reduce risk of injury, and speed recovery. The training system features custom exercises using our Training Sticks as a tool to improve range of motion, muscle activation, and body awareness to build a stronger foundation for better movement.

What is Stick Mobility?

The Stick Mobility Training System has three phases / styles of exercises:1. Joint Mobility. Joint mobilizations are the foundational key to optimal movement quality. When a joint doesn’t have an ability to move well through all three planes of motio

The Stick Mobility Training System has three phases / styles of exercises: 1. Joint MobilityJoint mobilizations are the foundational key to optimal movement quality. When a joint doesn&#x2019;t have an ability to move well through all three planes of motion then compensations and/or the inability to handle internal and external loads can occur which can result in injury. Too often we try to increase the capacity of a joint without discovering if the joint can move appropriately.&#xA0;Joints need to understand their function before we start increasing their capacity to handle loaded movements and deeper ranges of motion. 2. Strength Training We use isometrics which involves the unweighted resistance of muscle groups through contractions (tensing) of the muscles. This allows you to safely focus on creating internal tension to increase full-body strength and improve your ability to handle external weighted loads.&#xA0; 3. Active Stretching Our stretches are active rather than traditional passive stretches, so we&#x2019;re always pulling or pushing on the sticks or the floor to ensure we bring neuromuscular control and stability to your end-range positions. Class Examples In regular 45-minute Stick Mobility classes, you would practice 15 minutes of Joint Mobility exercises, 15 minutes of Strength Training exercises, and 15 minutes of Active Stretching to finish.

What are the different types of exercises in the training program?

We focus on helping coaches, athletes, and medical practitioners from various areas of fitness, sports performance, and healthcare.&#xA0;From pro athletes to personal trainers, yoga instructors to kettlebell specialists, bodybuilders to chiropractors, and physical therapists. Each one of them views movement from a different perspective.&#xA0;We work with them to understand how to apply the Stick Mobility principles into how they view movement with the goal of helping them reach their full potential.&#xA0;Some professional sports teams who use Stick Mobility include The Cincinnati Bengals, The Raiders, LA Rams, The Baltimore Orioles, LA Angels, Atlanta Braves, San Diego Padres, LA Kings, Anaheim Ducks, Philadelphia 76&#x2019;ers, Indiana Pacers, Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Denver Nuggets. PGA Golfers Paul Casey, Jason Day, and Dustin Johnson have implemented our system with their personal trainers to help increase their flexibility and rotation.&#xA0;

Who is using Stick Mobility?

Stick Mobility uses the formula:. Joint Range of Motion + Joint Stability + Neuromuscular Drive = Mobility. Traditional passive stretching by itself lacks these crucial elements.  We know that our muscles get tight for a reason, and no matter how muc

Stick Mobility uses the formula:&#xA0;Joint Range of Motion + Joint Stability + Neuromuscular Drive = Mobility.Traditional passive stretching by itself lacks these crucial elements. &#xA0;We know that our muscles get tight for a reason, and no matter how much we stretch, without the right strength levels, they won&#x2019;t let go. This is typically caused by weakness in one area causing tension in another.&#xA0;For example &#x2013; tighten the hip flexors, like you do when you sit down all day, and your hamstrings will become overactive when you extend the hip. Tightness makes you more susceptible to injury. The neuromuscular drive benefits from Stick Mobility come as your body is better able to coordinate your muscles as one unified mechanism to produce movement.&#xA0;The more balanced your muscles are, the better they can coordinate your kinetic chain.

Why are Stick Mobility exercises more effective than basic stretches?

LeverageThe mechanical advantage gained by using a lever such as the&#xA0;Stick Mobility Training Stick allows for a greater range of motion to make it easier to overcome the body&#x2019;s resistance to bending.Stability&#xA0;The quality of being stable. The ability to hold a position and resist internal or external forces. The&#xA0;Stick Mobility Training Stick gives you an aid to help create stability in the joints and gives a strong base of support.FeedbackThe&#xA0;Stick Mobility Training Stick provides visual and kinesthetic feedback to users and coaches to enhance body awareness and learning. Visual feedback amplifies the movements and targets problem areas. Kinesthetic feedback creates awareness and activation of different muscles, fascial lines, and joint positions and improves spatial awareness.IrradiationThe Stick Mobility Training Stick increases irradiation by driving the sticks into the ground, ceiling, or wall and squeezing to activate grip and trunk power. This allows us to give more input to the nervous system and make changes faster. Sherrington&#x2019;s Law of Irradiation: &#x201C;A muscle working hard recruits the neighboring muscles, and if they are already part of the action, it amplifies its strength. &#xA0;The neural impulses emitted by the contracting muscle reach other muscles and turn them on like an electric current starts a motor.&#x201D;IsometricsThere are three types of isometric contractions. When you apply all three, you can obtain significant increases in neural drive, muscle fiber recruitment, and rate of production. They include static contraction, yielding contraction, and overcoming contraction.CoordinationThe harmonious functioning of the motor apparatus of the brain and particular groups of muscles for the execution of movements. Using the Stick Mobility Training Stick enhances the neural feedback from the hands to the brain. The stick, in conjunction with positional isometrics, can aid in the activation of muscles involved in movements. These scientific principles form the foundation upon which our training system is built. &#xA0;The system is accredited by the following organizations:National Academy of Sports Medicine&#xA0;Athletics &amp; Fitness Association of America&#xA0;National College of Exercise Professionals&#xA0;National Strength &amp; Conditioning AssociationPersonal Training Academy GlobalAlberta Fitness Leadership Certification Association&#xA0;
