Rogue Mobility Hand

Rogue Mobility Hand

Developed in collaboration with Colorado physical therapist Charlie Merrill, the rig-mounted Rogue Mobility Hand represents a major paradigm shift in the mobility industry—offering athletes a precision massage tool that goes beyond the often limited scope of traditional bands, balls, and rollers. For his design, Merrill started by adapting what he considers the most robust mobility tool of them all: the human hand.

“After hundreds of athletes asked me how they could reproduce what I was doing to their shoulders, hips, and spines using my hands, I decided to prototype a tool that would solve that problem,” says Merrill, who runs his own PT clinic, Merrill Performance, inside Boulder’s CrossFit Roots gym.

Two years of fine-tuning and testing resulted in a joint effort with Rogue to produce the rig-mounted Mobility Hand; a durable, naturally contoured 6” massage tool with a 60a durometer urethane outer. “While basic mobility tools allow you to get to many surface tissues effectively,” Merrill says, “The Hand gives you unprecedented access to critical nooks and crannies that you used to have to rely on your PT, chiro, or massage therapist to break up for you. Ever heard of your psoas, iliacus, pec minor, subscapularis, diaphragm, or 1st rib? Rogue knows you have, and experts like Kstar have taught you how important they are. But we also know it’s been a struggle to really do those tissues justice. These are deep muscles and fascial tissues that are keeping you from moving your best and staying injury free.”

The Hand is compatible with Rogue’s Infinity, Monster Lite, and Monster Series units, and includes a convenient screw-on knob for easy set-up, height adjustments, and removal. Once set at the desired height, the Hand rotates 360 degrees, allowing the user to create the exact right angle for precision-targeted deep tissue therapy. The Hand can also be used separately from the rig as a hand-held mobility tool for breaking up tough zones like the diaphragm muscle under the rib cage.
