THE BALL IS A TOOL. HOW YOU USE IT MATTERS.

A therapy ball can be an incredibly effective tool for exploring mobility, changing how you experience a movement, and preparing your body to access range.

But simply putting a ball on a tight spot isn’t the whole story.

The real value comes from blending soft-tissue work with movement.

At the Mobility Masterclass, we’ll explore how to use therapy balls with intention—then integrate that work into active movement, mobility and strength.

You’ll learn how to:

• Use the ball to explore areas of restriction
• Apply pressure appropriately without simply chasing sensation
• Use breathing and nervous-system regulation to influence movement
• Follow soft-tissue work with active mobility
• Build control and strength into newly accessible ranges
• Turn passive changes into something you can actually use

The goal isn’t just to feel looser for a few minutes.

It’s to understand how input → movement → control can work together.

September 26 · 1:30–3:30 PM
RMT Lab · 2526 Yonge St.

A hands-on workshop for anyone who wants a more effective approach to mobility and movement.

5 Benefits of CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations)

CARs are slow, controlled movements through your available joint range. They’re not just a warm-up, they’re a way to actively explore and train your joint capacity.

1. Improve joint awareness
Learn where your joint can move and where you may be limited.

2. Build active range of motion
Instead of simply being placed into a stretch, you actively control the movement.

3. Improve joint control
CARs challenge your ability to move smoothly and deliberately through your available range.

4. Identify movement restrictions
Slow, controlled rotations can help highlight areas of stiffness, asymmetry, or poor control.

5. Maintain joint health
Regular movement through a joint’s available range helps keep movement capacity in the picture as you train and age.

Try these hip CARs slowly. Make the biggest circle you can without compensating through your spine, pelvis or opposite leg.

Control the movement. Explore the range. Build the capacity.

SKIN IN THE GAME.

One thing that has shaped my practice more than anything is the idea that you can't just learn about movement — you have to experience it.

I started with yoga.

Then strength training. Mobility. FRC. Kinstretch. Massage therapy. And everything in between.

Each one has taught me something different about how the body moves and adapts.

The anatomy might be the same, but the experience isn't.

Knowing what a position feels like in your own body gives you another level of understanding when you're working with someone else.

That’s how I’ve tried to build my practice:

Learn from people smarter than me.
Experiment.
Get the reps.
Keep learning.
Then share what works.

That’s RMT Lab.

Your Body Doesn't Need More Punishment.

Mobility shouldn't feel like a battle.

You don't need to force yourself into a stretch until it hurts. You don't need to smash every tight spot with a foam roller. And you don't need to spend 30 minutes trying to “fix” your body.

More intensity isn't always the answer.

Good mobility work is about understanding what your body needs, creating space, exploring range, and then teaching your body how to own that range.

In the Mobility Masterclass, we'll explore how to use simple tools like therapy balls alongside controlled movement to:

→ Release tension
→ Improve range of motion
→ Explore your end ranges
→ Build control and strength
→ Turn temporary relief into lasting movement

Less forcing. More awareness. More control.

Your body isn't something you need to fight.

Learn how to work with it.

The Truth About Posture

Is your posture really causing your pain?

We hear it all the time:

"I have forward head posture."
"My shoulders are rounded."
"I slouch too much."

The truth is, there isn't one "perfect" posture.

Your body is designed to move—not stay in any one position for hours at a time.

Your best posture is your next posture.

Rather than chasing perfect alignment, focus on having the mobility, strength, and body awareness to move comfortably throughout your day.

One of the easiest ways to do that is with movement snacks—short bouts of movement that break up long periods of sitting or standing.

My favourite? Controlled Articular Rotations (CARs).

Build a Stronger Hollow Body

The hollow body is a super important position for handstands, L-sits, pull-ups, and gymnastics. Get comfortable with it before moving on.

Step 1: Flatten your lower back
Press your lower back into the floor and tuck your pelvis if you need to.

Step 2: Brace your core
Pull your ribs down and tighten your abs.

Step 3: Lift your shoulders
Lift your shoulder blades slightly while keeping your neck long. Only reach overhead if you can still keep your lower back flat.

Step 4: Progress by lever length

- Bent knees = easiest
- Move limbs away from the center = harder
- Straight legs + arms overhead = hardest

The longer your body gets, the harder the hollow body becomes. Only move up if you can keep your lower back pressed into the floor.

Quality always beats duration.

Want to build strength for handstands, L-sits, and better body control? Join us at Handstands every Tuesday at 7:00 PM.

3 drills for more consistent kick-ups 🤸

A handstand isn't just about kicking harder. It's about building the strength, awareness, and control to arrive in balance.

1. Build compression strength
Develop strength through your abdominals and hip flexors so you can lift your legs with control instead of relying on momentum.

2. Find the stacked position
Learn the feeling of your hips over your shoulders and the shape you need at the top of your handstand. The more familiar this position becomes, the easier it is to find during your kick-up.

3. Practice kicking to an L
Instead of chasing the full handstand every time, practice stopping at an L-shape. This builds control, confidence, and consistency.

⭐ Handstands: Tuesdays at 7:00 PM
⭐ Splits & L-sits: Sundays at 1:30 PM

✨ Intro Offer: 3 classes for $75
⏳ Ends July 31

Strong Hamstrings Aren't Just Flexible. They're Active.

Many people spend time stretching their hamstrings but never learn how to use that new range of motion.

The goal isn't just to touch your toes, it's to own the range.

That's why we train:
✅ Passive Range Holds to build strength at your end range.
✅ Passive Range Lift-Offs to teach your hamstrings and hip flexors to actively control that flexibility.

Why do hip flexors matter?

When you lift your leg, your hip flexors need to be strong enough to actively pull it into that range. If they're weak, your body can only access that flexibility with external assistance, making it difficult to use during sport, exercise, or everyday movement.

Mobility isn't just about getting more range, it's about creating usable range that your nervous system trusts.
