“The Mobility Ring program is a must for all fitness enthusiasts, athletes, and for those whose occupations demand the most out of their mind and bodies.

A simple ring is used but the the effects and science is profound and their benefits are endless. Mobility Ring addresses the multi joint functions and tissues of the arm unlike any other mobility protocol before.

Once again, Scott Sonnon’s work will add another dimension of health and learning to your physical health and training practice. This program has given me a fresh perspective on what it means to have mobility and how a mobility practice can be the preventive measure to avoid injury and maintain a healthy shape for our bodies through restoring the ranges of motion we are meant to have. Truly another brilliant body of work by Coach Sonnon.”

The instant I opened the (brilliant, of course) manual for Scott Sonnon’s new Mobility Ring program, I had a flash of insight. I’d wondered what he’d been up to, down his creative rabbit hole for so long with the world’s greatest warriors, and giving that amazing brain of his an opportunity to really ask: “what’s next.” Well, I’ll tell you what’s next, and its really been right in front of us for years.
Scott is applying his massive energies and protean knowledge based and life experience to deconstructing and re-constructing ancient technologies of mind and body. From the moment I listened to his “Flow State Performance Spiral” I knew he was creating bridges between the metaphorical/metaphysical language of Chi Gung and Yoga to the no-B.S., real world physiological stress studies of military special forces. Mobility Ring looks into the health benefits of a traditional Chinese martial arts training tool, the Bagua steel ring. But because it ultimately comes down to joint mobility and stored elastic energy, he has also, inevitably opened the door to understanding a higher level of the “hidden secrets” of the combat arts themselves as the two are indivisible.
The Mobility Ring is a fabulous addition to his mobility collection, but more, it is a hint of wonders to come. I, for one, cannot wait.” Steven Barnes,

    “The Mobility Ring training program is highly recommended for those in need to restore lost mobility. This program will help to regain joint function of upper-body from fingers to shoulders. With the cutting edge Science in motor learning and control winch is base for the new N-Map certification, this program became my favorite to restore my own mobility and stability due to its effectivity and practicality.
Don’t lose the chance to study with this outstanding material and prepare yourself to reclaim your freedom to move pain-free again.”
Celina Toledo”This ring distills movement restrictions down to their root quickly and efficiently; offering both a humbling awareness of, and an immediate solution for, excess tension in the upper body. It is a simple, accessible tool for succinctly identifying both compensated and compensating tissues. Through leveraging your own limbs into the ring, it goes to work pulping apart the myo-fascial density for effective restoration of optimal function. humbling awareness of, and an immediate solution for, excess tension in the upper body.

The Mobility Ring is like nothing i have learned previously. There is nothing on the market designed to target the complex spiral lines of the arm with more precision and ease than this ring. As a coach I aim to empower my students/clients with tools that provide functionally relevant improvements in their movement quality and complexity, as it applies to the demands of their daily life, sports and occupation. As an athlete myself, with no time to waste on gimmicks and hype, I am critical of most “trigger point therapy” toys claiming more benefit than they actually deliver. The Mobility Ring protocol, as taught by Scott Sonnon, is the most uniquely accurate tool I have used to date. It is not easy, but it is simple. It is not comfortable, it is effective. It addresses pain with productive discomfort and brings relief to accumulated tension and movement limitations.

I now use the Mobility Ring protocol as a daily check-in to know where my body needs additional release, where it requires heightened attention to range of motion, and where it is feeling free to move. These skills compliment the demands of strength training and eliminate the threat of accumulating residual tension in the grip, wrist, elbows, shoulders and neck for positive adaptation. Regaining confidence through pain relief is an invaluable gift and a solid demonstration of the efficacy and value of proper neuro-mobility training”.

The Mobility Ring isn’t a physical workout program. You shouldn’t experience exercise intensity, as it doesn’t require exertion. The Mobility Ring uses joint mobility and myofascial release as a form of recovery training. So, everyone from complete novice to elite expert can benefit from the Mobility Ring.

Every other device and program of its kind admits that there had been no tool available to appropriately target the upper extremities for myofascial release. The Mobility Ring is the first of its kind. Additionally, the Mobility Ring uniquely combines both myofascial release with joint mobility in a synergistic way, only the founder of mobility, Scott B. Sonnon, could do. The first tool of its kind and the first program of its kind makes the Mobility Ring a powerful asset to keep in your toolbox of accelerated self-care and performance enhancement.

That’s it: just a ring. However, it’s best to get the Mobility Ring that is optimized for use with joint mobility and myofascial release. Rings primarily designed for gymnastics can have seams and edges which can cause cuts and rubberized surfaces which can cause friction burns. RMAX International has a range of rings for your level of experience: get the basic model for beginners!

The three ring designs relate to different aspects of Joint Mobility and Myofascial Release.

The Original Mobility Ring is for basic level use, and for preventative measures; choose it if you’re a beginner, so the smooth surface can be gentle on dense tissue, and so you can also regularly stay ahead of the development of issues. If you regularly use the Mobility Ring, you can use it’s smooth surface as a self-diagnostic to make certain you’ve released excess tone before it becomes leathery.

The Rumble Ring™ is for intermediate use. The knobs allow you to navigate uneven parts of your arms without grinding bones or sensitive areas. It will give you deeper tissue kneading, so choose it if you have experience with the Mobility Ring movements, and you’re ready to be able to use the knobs like thumbs in self-massage.

The Thera Ring™ is for more advanced use. You need to know the movements in the Mobility Ring, and be aware of how to properly apply pressure to specific areas called trigger points. The hard, rope-like or knotted bands of muscle on your arms can be targeted with the “beads” of the Thera Ring™, but require that you know how to move into and out of the position, that you know how to properly exhale, and you know how to apply appropriate pressure.

Even if you performed all of the exercises in the entire system, it would only take 7 minutes a day. But you don’t need to perform it every day. Once every four days can give you optimal preventative effects. However, you can apply one of the exercises, which takes only seconds since the Mobility Ring is so accessible and portable. It doesn’t require any exertion, so you can keep it at the office, in the car, in a bag, or under the coffee table.

The benefits of the Mobility Ring are so numerous! However, here are the Top 10 winners:

1. Improve Muscle Relaxation and Decreased Hypertonicity: the Mobility Ring facilitates the reduction and elimination of chronic muscle tension in the arms, which aids in the alleviation of dysfunction and pain.

2. Suppress Trigger Point Sensitivity: the Mobility Ring helps to suppress the sensitivity of trigger points, which helps to promote pain-reducing endorphins-release.

3. Enhance Tissue Recovery and Decrease Soreness: the Mobility Ring improves blood circulation, which facilitates oxygen and nutrient tissue delivery.

4. Restore Joint Range of Motion: the Mobility Ring helps to reset and optimize the length-tension relationship (called myofasical tensegrity) to prepare the joint loading, tissue stretching and muscle activation critical to both occupational and recreational activities.

5. Release Adhesions and Scar Tissue: the Mobility Ring helps to restore muscle and fascia elasticity which improves motor quality, efficiency and precision while preventing pain.

6. Reduce Inflammation: Compounds, called Cytokines, play a critical role in inflammation are reduced through the Mobility Ring.

7. Accelerate Muscle Growth and Repair: the Mitochondria of cells increase their activity due to the Mobility Ring which accelerates muscle growth and repair.

8. Enhance Neuromuscular Efficiency and Awareness: When a joint is compressed, it distorts accurate information to your brain. The Mobility Ring clears disconnects between the brain and the body’s system of sensors, and improves the effectiveness while decreasing the energy required for movement.

9. Prevent Fatigue: If a joint lacks its full range of motion, your brain detects immobility, and begins a shut-down process to protect from mis-use and over-exertion injuries. The Mobility Ring allows you to have 100% access to your readiness capabilities locked within your upper extremities.

10. Diminish Overall Stress: Dysfunction and pain cause the stress systems of the central nervous system to remain switched-on, which in turn disrupts sleep, learning, memory and quality of life. Most of our stress is reflexively reflected in our arm tension. The Mobility Ring was designed specifically to release it!

It will work immediately, during the first session, but depending upon the severity of the movement dysfunction, you may need to go slowly and carefully. You can overdo recovery, just like you can have too much of any good thing. Take your time, and enjoy the results. More isn’t necessarily better. After you get ahead of the current issues, you can dose a Mobility Ring session every few days to keep from any future issues developing.

The Mobility Ring can be used as a recovery day program, as a warm-up, as a cool-down, or in between sets for a reset. It’s as versatile as any roller, ball or band!

Guidebook Manual

The Mobility Ring program includes an extensive manual detailing all of Coach Scott Sonnon’s prolific work building this program. Coach Sonnon details how our bodies are shaped and how it translates to our movement and, as Coach states it as, “The Epidemic of Immobility”. This program is a specialized mobility program NOT a stretching program. Injuries and dysfunctions to the arm and its parts is the #1 most common and EXPENSIVE occupational injury; the use of the ring as a tool, unwinding the spiral line of the arm, to address these dysfunctions is one-of-a-kind and ingenious. Every aspect of the program and its science is detailed in this very thorough operational manual that will be your gui along developing your practice.

Technique Manual

Every Mobility Ring drill has been carefully detailed in the accompanying technique manual. Every drill is broken down into easily accessible steps and then details how they fit together. Alongside step-by-step instructions, each drill is provided with its purpose so you know exactly what each movement is addressing, key coaching cue points, training guidelines, and what to avoid for maximum effectiveness.

Instructional Videos

Every movement in conjunction with the technique manual has a video counterpart of Coach Sonnon himself demonstrating each drill and expanding upon the instruction found in the technique manual. In these videos Coach Sonnon introduces more context, deeper technical explanation, and provides a visual reference to ensure the internalization of the methodology. The more sources of information we are exposed to, the more efficient and dense our learning experience.
