As with any LAX or massage ball, there are some limitations on how the standard hand-held Supernova can be used to treat the back, shoulders, and other hard to reach areas. Athletes either had to contort their bodies or use the ball on the floor, where there was the potential of rolling out or not maintaining ideal leverage. The Rig Mount solves this problem, allowing the ball to stay in a secure, elevated position, rotating on an axis over difficult treatment zones as you move against it.

The Supernova Rig Mount was co-designed by MobilityWOD founder and accomplished trainer and physiotherapist Dr. Kelly Starrett. Author of the New York Times bestselling book Becoming a Supple Leopard, Starrett has long been at the forefront of new innovations in mobility and recovery tools. With the original Supernova, nearly two years of scientific study and testing went into the finished product. ”We needed a device that would allow us to create higher global shear pressures so that when we rolled, it actually made us better,” Starrett says. “So we made one.”

The 120MM Supernova included as part of this rig mount is exactly the same as the stand-alone Supernova 2.0—one of the most popular recovery products Rogue offers. A dynamic alternative to traditional foam rollers and massage balls, the Supernova 2.0 includes an improved nylon frame construction, grip-strong TPE tread, and a precision groove pattern for deep tissue therapy.

Regarded as game changers in the world of recovery tools, Kelly Starrett’s MobilityWOD Series includes not only the hand-held Supernova, but the T-spine targeting Gemini roller, the MobilityWOD Stick, and BattleStar kits.

The Supernova Rig Mount can be mounted to any 3” face of a Rogue Infinity or Rogue Monster Lite upright. Set-up and take-down are quick and simple thanks to the pin design and tightening screw-knob, so you can adjust the Supernova up and down to varying heights depending on the region of the body you want to target.
