WHAT IS MUUVSPORT™?
MuuvSport™
is a performance foam roller and wellness product company focused on improving mobility, recovery
and enhanced well-being. The founder of the company Michael
Palizzi is a firm believer in the therapeutic benefits of wellness products, especially
foam rollers.
This “new
design concept”
of a foam roller initially transpired through a childhood sports injury that Michael
sustained in his back. One day, Michael was introduced to a foam roller and
realized wow this feels great except for the discomfort along the spine. Michael was also looking for a larger roller that would
offer higher elevation, more stability and a longer range of motion. After researching various products and seeing that a real
need for a better roller, Michael develop a product
that could take rollers to the next level. As a result, MuuvSport™ was created
based on the necessity to develop something more robust than the standard
rollers on the market. Out of this desire to improve a good idea and build a
better product, a ground-breaking patented design called the Stealth
Align™ was born.
This
revolutionary patented design involved adding two cylindrical wheels in the
middle of the roller with 58 elevated diamond shaped foam protrusions for added
muscle stimulation. Strategically placing a slight separation called a “center
channel” between the two cylindrical wheels allows your spinal column to be
free from any direct impact to it. The Stealth Align™ is the only foam roller
that is 8 inches in diameter which provides higher elevation, more stability and longer range of motion. Based on
responses we received from medical professionals and elite athletes there is no
other foam roller in existence that isolates and targets the lower, mid, and
upper back and shoulder muscles as effectively like the Stealth Align™. The
density and unique design of the roller provides a multi-purpose function for
different stretches and a “deep tissue” massage to your legs and calves as well
as exercises for your core muscles such as your abdominals.
HOW
DOES THE STEALTH ALIGN™ WORK?
The
Stealth Align™ is designed to stimulate, stretch, and provide better blood flow
to your muscles. A term called Self-Myofascial Release (SMR) is a technique
used ideally when using a foam roller to keep muscles from tightening up and
exerting more force than your bones can tolerate. Muscles can be full of scar
tissue and soft tissue adhesion's, or knots also referred to as tight spots.
Think of knots in a muscle as knots in a rope. If one were to pull on a rope
with a knot in it, i.e., stretch a muscle that hasn't been relaxed, the knot
will simply tighten. In order to lengthen the rope, the knot or tight spot must
first be taken out, meaning the muscle has to be inhibited and in a state of
relaxation prior to lengthening.
A foam roller such as the Stealth Align™ can stimulate that muscle, and in
turn, allow you to stretch more effectively, and give you a greater range of
motion. The Stealth Align™ design is perfect because it helps stretch a muscle
which increases its length.
WHY DO I
NEED A STEALTH ALIGN™ ROLLER?
There are
multiple benefits to using our roller; first, a majority of teenagers and
adults will be affected by back, shoulder, or leg injuries, which can be
greatly reduced by proper stretching and utilizing the right device such as the
Stealth Align™ to help aid in faster recuperation. Second, our research has
indicated that in addition to improving better mobility and isolating sore
muscles, the Stealth Align™ can help improve athletic performance, reduce the
risk of injury and provide quicker recovery time to get back to your activity
of daily living.
WHEN
SHOULD I USE THE STEALTH ALIGN™ ROLLER?
Anytime
you feel a need to stretch or exercise! It can be done before a workout or post
workout, in your hotel room if you’re traveling, in the convenience of your own
home or office. Depending on your level of fitness, in the beginning it may
create an unfamiliar tension and discomfort but you will feel better
afterwards, especially those who are not used to the sensation of the Stealth
Align™ or foam rollers in general.
