1 THE MOST INNOVATIVE MOBILITY PRODUCTS AND EDUCATION ON THE MARKET! HANDBOOK

2 Brad Cox and Dr. Sonia Pasquale are the Co-Founder s of Acumobility. Dr. Sonia is a Chiropractor, Licensed Acupuncturist and Movement Specialist. Brad Cox is a Licensed Acupuncturist, Movement Specialist, and Lifting Coach. Both Dr. Sonia and Brad are longtime Athletes who suffered severe injuries when they were younger which propelled them into the healthcare world. While working with Elite Athletes in their Sports Medicine Clinic they recognized two consistent and important issues: 1. Athletes had no idea how they were moving/should be moving 2. They lacked knowledge in proper recovery and active mobility techniques. Dr. Sonia and Brad want to change the way people look at mobility work - from the current model of being a passive rolling modality with no other measure than time and pain, to being a dynamic assessment and correction system that produces immediate and measurable results. In order to do this, they had to create tools that supported their education. And so was born the Acumobility Ball (patented), the Eclipse Foam Roller (patented), the Acumobility Floss bands and the Ultimate Back Roller (patented). And after rigorous testing of tools and techniques on patients and seeing incredible results, they launched Acumobility. Our Education System uses a 3-tier approach which is represented in our name: ACUMOBILITY : ASSESS, CORRECT and UNIFY your MOBILITY. Our Education System takes movement, breaks it down and then rebuilds it through innovative and cutting edge techniques! More mobility means less pain, less restriction of movement and enhanced performance! We apply our unique approach to education to all kinds of sports, activities and Clinicians. Our current Seminars include: TRAINING FOR CLINICIANS ALL STRENGTH ATHLETES OCR RUNNING PADDLING SPORTS MARTIAL ARTS

4 3 TIERS OF ACUMOBILITY EDUCATION 1. ASSESS 2. CORRECT 3. UNIFY TIER 1: ASSESS We want to empower athletes to know their bodies and how they move! By teaching them a series of self assessments on the major areas of the body required for their specific sport or activity, they can understand their individual movement restrictions. We then relate these restrictions to how they specifically impact their form, technique, performance and risk of injury. TIER 2: CORRECT Once you understand your movement restrictions, we teach you our 5-Point Corrective System. We are on the cutting edge of recovery and mobility education and we believe that mobility work should be purposeful and intentional in the same way that exercise is. Our Innovative system blends 5 criteria we find to be essential to produce lasting and measureable results. Our athletes will immediately be able to see and feel the difference! *5 - POINTCORRECTION SYSTEM 1 TRIGGER POINT RELEASE 2 ACTIVE MOBILIZATION 3 DYNAMIC STABILITY 4 COMPRESSION 5 TENSIONING TIER 3: UNIFY Once we correct these imbalances, we then incorporate your newfound mobility back into movement patterns through very specific cueing and tensioning techniques. This is an integral step to aligning your mobility to your movement!

7 The Ultimate Back Roller We spend so much time hunched over a desk, computer and phone, that we need to support our back muscles to improve extension and flexibility! The Ultimate Back Roller is everything you ever wanted in a back roller and more! FOR EVERYONE: This roller is designed to be used by everyone! Whether you are a yogi looking for the next generation yoga wheel; a runner; a mom/dad with back pain; an elite cross fitter or powerlifter; or just someone looking to support healthy spinal motion this is the product for you! No matter what age and activity, we all need spinal health! SPINE GAP: When you roll your back on a basic flat roller, you are actually jamming the spinal segments and restricting motion as you roll- the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve! Our revolutionary design was created to support natural spinal movement and enhance overall mobility. The Spine Gap allows you to target the para-spinal muscles on either side of the spine and not jam the spine as you roll! You can feel the amazing difference the very first time you use it! THERAPEUTIC BUMP PATTERN: Our patented staggered bump pattern allows you to feel deep pressure in the muscles on either side of the spine. The bumps help to release knots and trigger points as well as enhance lymphatic drainage as you roll. The bumps are set very high so they can dig deeply into your muscles! WORKS ON EVERY PART OF THE BODY: While The Ultimate Back Roller was specifically made to be the best Back Roller Ever, it also works amazingly well all over the rest of the body! From your neck, to arms, to lats, to glutes, to legs there is no place this roller won t help! HOLDS 1000lbs: We wanted a roller that would work for everyone! And we created a roller that can support 1000lbs! That means you don t have to worry about it breaking under you! And you can enhance your back release by adding weights! This roller is built from the highest quality tough molded foam in the world. HEIGHT / WIDTH: Unlike any other foam roller on the market, this roller is designed at 11 inches tall which is the perfect height to increase leverage and allow you to create extension. It is also stable at 7.5 inches wide. So it won t tip over when you are rolling. INVENTED BY A CHIROPRACTOR: Our Patent Pending Design distinguishes our product from anything else on the market! Dr. Sonia Pasquale, co-founder of Acumobility, wanted to create something that would help people support spinal mobility and extension at home. And this amazing design provides unparalleled results! TRAVEL FRIENDLY: While this Roller is definitely a beast, it will easily fit in all backpacks and suitcases! And at a light weight of 3.3lbs you can take it anywhere! It will be your new favorite travel buddy!

4 Zones of Compression: to squeeze and release muscles as you roll! 3. Decreases rolling time: Targets multiple muscles at the same time to decrease rolling time and increase efficiency! 4.

9 THE ECLIPSE ROLLER The only all-in-one Foam Roller and Trigger Point Tool ever made! Specifically designed to wrap around the body to target muscles and angles you can t reach with a traditional roller! FEATURES: 1. 5 Pressure Strips: for deep targeted pressure where you need it! 2. 4 Zones of Compression: to squeeze and release muscles as you roll! 3. Decreases rolling time: Targets multiple muscles at the same time to decrease rolling time and increase efficiency! 4. Advance as you roll: This is the only roller made with the option to advance levels! The round end caps are for beginners who need to ease into rolling. Then advance to the next level by using all 5 pressure strips. When you want to deeply target a specific area direct all pressure onto just one pressure strip. 5. Effective: This roller is made to be effective and effective means you will feel it! Many people are used to barely feeling anything when they foam roll - this means you are not accomplishing anything! We built the eclipse roller to effect change both in recovery and in performance and that means that you will need to feel it for it to be effective! 6. Built Tough: Sturdy construction that can take a beating!

THE ACUMOBILITY BALL The first and only flat based mobility ball in the world! FEATURES: Specifically designed for Active Mobilization! Provides a deep and targeted trigger point release!

12 THE ACUMOBILITY BALL The first and only flat based mobility ball in the world! FEATURES: Specifically designed for Active Mobilization! Provides a deep and targeted trigger point release! Dynamic flexion point that moves with you! Tacky texture keeps it in place as you move - on any material floor or wall surface! Put 2 together and the spine fits perfectly in between! Use oil on top for a sliding and a deep release! Turn over to use as an upper body stability tool like push-ups! Can be used as a handheld massage tool - ball and knife edge! LEVEL 1 and LEVEL 2 Acumobility Balls available! LEVEL 1 BALL vs. LEVEL 2 BALL The LEVEL 1 Ball is best for MODERATE-DEEP pressure trigger point release and best for beginners. This ball will be intense for most people! It is slightly less intense than a lacrosse ball. It is our recommendation that you begin your mobility exercises with the LEVEL 1 Ball and once you are ready to move on to a deeper release then advance to the LEVEL 2 Ball. The LEVEL 2 Ball is significantly firmer and meant for DEEP pressure trigger point release. Begin with this ball only if you are used to doing deep trigger point release regularly with a lacrosse ball and want to get even even deeper!

PARTNERSHIP We have partnered with Kabuki Movement Systems to sell their Boomstick on our website as well as creating a unique Education System called the Vise Technique.

16 PARTNERSHIP We have partnered with Kabuki Movement Systems to sell their Boomstick on our website as well as creating a unique Education System called the Vise Technique. If you wish to purchase this product, please contact Acumobility for details. The Boomstick is an IASTM, or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization is a myofascial release (massage) tool that weighs (22lbs) which allows for pressure to be placed on a specific area via the contoured ends and modulated by either pushing against the implement or resisting it. The Vise Technique - this is our unique technique we developed with one of the strongest men on the planet, Chris Duffin of Kabuki Movement Systems. The Vise technique is about applying compression to reciprocal muscles simultaneously - then putting the muscle through active ranges of motion to enhance the release. Example- applying compression to both the hamstring and quad muscle and then putting the leg through flexion and extension. This is achieved by using 2 Acumobility Balls, or a Boomstick and an Acumobility Ball. Practitioners have found amazing results in releasing stubborn trigger points, tight muscles and improving pain with this technique.

17 PARTNERSHIP We are so excited to Announce a Partnership with Spartan to create the Spartan line of Acumobility Products!!!
