How To Use A Moba Mobility Tool
Start Simple
The best way to explain mobility / recovery tool use is a simple example: start with clicking the black button on the end of your Moba three times to turn it on high. Place it on the floor, and roll the arch of your foot over it. This works sitting or standing, on almost any floor surface, and should feel absolutely amazing. Walk into the Moba office any given day and you will see this happening while we work on laptops.
Go Direct
If you're already familiar with mobility tools such as a foam roller, lacrosse ball or rubber peanut you can use the Moba the same way as a more effective replacement. Direct pressure with the unit on will break up muscular adhesions, but more advanced techniques such as contract / relax, pin and floss, twisting, or active release will increase effectiveness.
Get Creative
Easily accessible body areas such as forearms, shoulders, calves and feet can be worked directly by pressing the unit in by hand. For harder to reach muscle regions such as the gluteal or mid-thoracic the floor, walls or chairs can be used. Intensity can be increase by using a harder surface such as wood, and decreased by including a yoga mat, tumbling pad, or carpet. There’s no limit to the problem areas it can help with!
