Stick Mobility Quickstart Guide - Kayaks for Shoulder Health & Scapular Mobility

Kayak drills are great for shoulder mobility. It is an active stretch that takes the shoulders through a full range of motion. This will help with feedback on improving shoulder mobility and posture.

Kayaks require use of one short stick, either a 4-foot stick or a 5-foot stick (depending on your height).

This video is part of the Quickstart Guide Introduction to Stick Mobility.

Stick Mobility is a training system that improves your mobility, stability, and strength.

It combines joint mobilization, strength training, and deep fascial stretching to increase athletic performance, reduce risk of injury, and accelerate recovery.

The system uses the Mobility Stick as a simple tool to improve range of motion, muscle activation, coordination, and body awareness to build a strong foundation for better movement. It provides kinesthetic and visual feedback to users and coaches. The sticks are designed for professional use in gyms, medical facilities, and on the sports field. They can be used outdoors, are 100% waterproof, and easy to clean. They are made with a custom blend of synthetic plastic and natural rubber to achieve the balance of flexibility, strength, and grip needed for the full range of Stick Mobility exercises.

The system is based on the scientific principles of leverage, stability, feedback, irradiation, isometrics, and coordination and is accredited by:

– National Academy of Sports Medicine
– Aerobics & Fitness Association of America
– National College of Exercise Professionals
– National Strength & Conditioning Association
– International Sports Sciences Association

We focus on helping coaches, athletes, and medical practitioners. From pro athletes to personal trainers, strength and conditioning coaches to physical therapists and chiropractors. 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.

Interesting that you can do this with either a longer stick (6-foot?)or a moderate (5-ft) one, using either a supinated or neutral (end caps) grip. I'm waiting for delivery of my stick bundle - 2 7-footers and a 5 - and I worry that the 7s might be too long for anything but monkey hangs or something. I'll soon find out. But I notice that, while you're tall enough for 7 footers, you often seem to use a 6.
