Safety disclaimer: Any injury can be made worse by inappropriate use of mobility tools.
Please consult with your medical professional if you have any pre-existing issues or have concerns about using a mobility tool.
Chest
Hold your unit and apply direct pressure or twisting to your upper pec or anterior shoulder to effectively address chest tightness. Bring your arm on the side being mobilized behind your back to remove slack from your chest and boost effectiveness even further.
Placing your unit between your chest and either a wall (standing upright) or the floor (facing down) and bringing your arm behind your back is an alternate means of addressing chest tightness.
Thoracic (Mid Back)
The reinforced bridge of the Moba was specifically designed to fit around the spine, meaning it is perfect to lay on and open the mid back just like a foam roller or rubber peanut mobility tool. This should be done on pads or carpet at first to decrease intensity.
Start laying down with your unit between the top of your shoulder blades, and slowly roll it down to the bottom of your mid-back. Pause at any tight spots, breathe, and move your arms either overhead, crossed over your chest, or spread open.
Cervical (Neck)
Due to the high concentration of nerves and cartilage in your neck we don't advise you to directly use the unit there. However performing active release at the base of the neck and upper trapezius can be quite helpful.
With the unit on low gently press into your upper trapezius while your head is tilted to that same side. Maintaining the pressure while you slowly tilt your head to the opposite shoulder. Repeat several times.
Lumbar
We advise against using a Moba directly on the lumbar spine for safety reasons. However lower back issues are often compounded by having tight "guarding" muscles upstream and downstream of the problem site, feeding tension into the system and preventing recovery. By addressing tightness in the gluteal and thoracic regions your lumbar issue may be improved or resolved.
