FAQ

Our training system is based on the use of three sticks. There are specific exercises for two long sticks, single long, and short stick drills that allow you to work the entire body efficiently. 

Short Training Stick 

With the ability to train anywhere, the short Training Stick will help you increase flexibility, improve posture, reduce soreness, and recover quicker.

The short Training Stick is ideal if you want to get started and be able to touch your toes and get your arms overhead again.

Long Training Stick 

Ready to take your training and recovery to the next level? The long Training Sticks are designed to be bent and flexed for more advanced stretching and strength-based exercises to develop joints to help you feel and perform your best.

If you have low flexibility or poor balance the Long Training Stick provides more modifications than the Short Training Stick to help you restore your flexibility.

Training Stick Bundle (2 Long + 1 Short Training Stick)

The Stick Mobility training system we use to teach trainers, coaches, and medical practitioners how to help their clients, athletes, and patients reach their full potential uses a 3-Stick Training Bundle. With our bundle, you can follow the complete system trusted by professionals

Our training system is based on the use of three sticks (two long sticks and one short stick). We recommend the three stick bundle to fully benefit what Stick Mobility has to offer.

The Training Stick bundle allows you to utilize the full range of exercises in the training program. There are specific exercises that utilize two long sticks, a single long stick, and a single short stick that allow you to work the entire body uniquely. 

The short Training Stick will help you increase flexibility, improve posture, reduce soreness, and recover quicker. It is deal if you want to get started and be able to touch your toes and get your arms overhead again.

The long Training Sticks are designed to be bent and flexed for more advanced stretching and strength-based exercises to develop joints to help you feel and perform your best. If you have low flexibility or poor balance the Long Training Stick provides more modifications than the Short Training Stick to help you restore your flexibility.

Stick Mobility can be practiced every day. The benefits of Stick Mobility transfer to performance training and everyday activities. You can use Stick Mobility as a standalone training program or mixed in with other workouts and training. It is a system that complements other training systems and sports. Active stretching and flows can be integrated into your daily routine for warm-ups and recovery. 

We recommend you do not expose your Training Sticks to prolonged extreme temperatures as this may compromise the structural integrity of the sticks. Do not leave your Training Sticks inside your vehicle in very hot temperatures as this can cause unwanted bending of the sticks if the sticks are on an angle. Store them flat or vertically in very hot temperatures. Store your Training Sticks either upright or if horizontal support the stick at each end and in the middle to avoid potential bending over time. When flexing the Training Stick, such as in the Bow & Arrow drill, we recommend spinning the stick after each rep so you don’t always bend the stick in the same direction to maintain the stick’s shape over time. One objective with Stick Mobility exercises (e.g. the bow & Arrow drill) is to create tension by flexing the stick. Excessive over-flexion is not part of the training exercises and not required to achieve the benefits of the system. Although rare, excessive over-flexion of the stick can result in stick damage and breakage. Please follow the flexion examples from our training videos and/or the guidance of a Certified Stick Mobility Instructor. 

Sticks can be checked in as luggage on flights but they may incur additional fees. We’ve found that some airlines have special rates or discounts for physical therapy equipment, so we recommend referring to your sticks as such.  We can’t guarantee any discounts due to each airline having its own policies and rates for checked luggage, but it is worth looking into if you are interested. When you’re traveling domestically it can be more affordable to ship your sticks to your destination via a delivery service such as USPS, UPS, or FedEx. We advise calling and checking with your airline to find out their rates, which you can then compare to shipping costs.

Stick Mobility Training Sticks are made with a blend of synthetic plastic with customized levels of polymers and plasticizers to create a unique level of flex and strength for professional daily use in gyms, medical facilities, and sports fields. This is not just your average PVC or plumber's pipe. 

Our reinforced, durable end-grips are molded from silicone rubber and designed to provide a secure grip in-hand and on the floor. 

The training sticks are waterproof, easy to clean, and made in the USA.

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.

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 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. 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. 

3. Active Stretching
Our stretches are active rather than traditional passive stretches, so we’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.

We focus on helping coaches, athletes, and medical practitioners from various areas of fitness, sports performance, and healthcare. 

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.

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. 

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’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

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 much we stretch, without the right strength levels, they won’t let go. This is typically caused by weakness in one area causing tension in another. 

For example – 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. 

Leverage

The mechanical advantage gained by using a lever such as the Stick Mobility Training Stick allows for a greater range of motion to make it easier to overcome the body’s resistance to bending.

Stability

The quality of being stable. The ability to hold a position and resist internal or external forces. The Stick Mobility Training Stick gives you an aid to help create stability in the joints and gives a strong base of support.

Feedback

The 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.

Irradiation

The 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’s Law of Irradiation: “A muscle working hard recruits the neighboring muscles, and if they are already part of the action, it amplifies its strength.  The neural impulses emitted by the contracting muscle reach other muscles and turn them on like an electric current starts a motor.”

Isometrics

There 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.

Coordination

The 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.
