Dr. Jeff Langmaid unboxes the RockBlades Mohawk, a surgical stainless-steel soft-tissue tool with dimpled edges and balanced weight. It comes with a silicon grip sleeve and ABS comb attachment for different proprioceptive input, plus a compact carrying case. Langmaid recommends it for physical therapists, chiropractors, and movement specialists working with fascia and soft tissue.
Hey everybody, what's going on? My name is Dr. Jeff Langmaid with the evidence based Chiropractor and today we are going to take a look at Rockblade's Mohawk by Rocktape. This is an awesome soft tissue instrument. So if you are a movement specialist, physical therapist, chiropractor, and you do soft tissue work in your practice or in your clinic, Rockblade's Mohawk is something you're gonna wanna take a look at for sure. So as we kickstart things you can see right here, Mohawk comes in an awesome carrying case. So this can help you tremendously are on and off the field if you're in and out of different gyms, different boxes, different practices. This carrying case helps you keep everything in one spot and it makes travel super, super convenient. The worst tool is a lost tool. So this carrying case will help you keep everything in order. As we open things up for Mohawk, a couple things come to the surface. Number one, we're we can see a beautiful space specifically for Mohawk as well as rock rub that we'll talk about in a moment. There is a middle sleeve. That middle sleeve gives you access to the other two tools that come right with Mohawk. One is silicon sleeve, one is an ABS comb. We'll dive into those momentarily. And if you keep flipping, yes, there is even more space if you have rock blades, they fit in there right as well. We have mallet and mullet hanging out right there. So you can keep everything exactly as you need it right in one spot. So let's take out Mohawk, talk about it a little bit and do some reviewing. So as I take out Mohawk, you can see it's a beautifully designed tool. It's surgical stainless steel and there's a variety of dimples. So whether you are working large muscle groups, whether you are working more sensitive and intricate spaces, you're going to be able to find an edge and you're also going to be able to find a grip to using Mohawk. The weight is good. This is a tool that I've used and you can use really for hours and suffer very little fatigue. The weight is perfectly balanced and it gives you the ability to save your fingers and to save your thumb. So again, multiple dimples give you multiple position points as well as every single edge gives you an opportunity to work the tissue, work the muscle, group you in a different way. So there is not anywhere in the human body that you will not be able to find an application for. Mohawk especially. I've seen just a tremendous amount of success in extremities in rhomboids and also in traps. This is a perfect tool to get in there, to get your soft tissue work done and to keep on trucking. And people love it. And it saves your hands, your wrists, your thumbs. So, Mohawk, awesome tool. Well balanced. Definitely check it out as we dive further into the kit that you get, because it's not just this. When you get Mohawk, you will get a place for rock rub. So if you need any rub, any ointment, any solution, you have a place for it right here. Again, helps keep things super convenient when you're on the road or you're in the clinic to have everything you need directly in one location. Now, one thing, surgical stainless steel is awesome, but there are times where you might want to have a different contact point, where you might want to have something else that goes into your application of soft tissue. And with that, that is where the two attachments come in so handy. One of them is a silicon sleeve. This slips right over the top of Mohawk. And what it enables you to do is really grip into the tissue. So if there's an area where you just want a little bit of extra grip, you want to make sure you get in there and can provide some additional traction. The silicon sleeve is a great tool to use. It slides right over the top of the instrument, and it gives you the ability to have extra grip and a little bit more traction on an area. The third component, the third piece of the puzzle is the ABS comb. So the ABS comb is a fantastic attachment, a fantastic tool in and amongst itself. It clips right over the top of Mohawk. And what it enables you to do is really stimulate that neurological input. So a lot of what we're seeing in the soft tissue space as time moves on is the fact that this is really neurological. There's a lot to do with the fascia in terms of soft tissue work, as well as the ability to get in there neurologically. So the ABS comb gives you a different. A different feel, a different sensation. Right. An altered proprioceptive input, which is where we are learning as we continue to discover what happens when you go through and you're impacting the soft tissue. When you are utilizing this in terms of clinical treatment, whether it's recovery, whether it's return from injury, or whether it's maintenance. Having different inputs, different proprioceptive inputs can create a different response neurologically. And that is why, in my opinion, it is so crucial to have multiple different ways to gather that input. And Mohawk allows you to do that. Number one, again, with the surgical stainless steel tool itself. Number two, you have a silicon sleeve and number three, finally you have an ABS comb. So all of these enable you to get in there on the tissue, get in there on the fascia and get the result you are looking for. And clinically, as an added bonus, as we talked about, you get a carrying case which makes it so convenient and so easy. No more lost tools. And finally, if you have mallet and if you have mullet, the original Rock Blades tools, there's a spot for them to sit right in there as well so you can have easy access to them in the clinic or on the go. So if you have not checked out, if you are a movement specialist and you have not checked out Mohawk to date, I can tell you this is a tool that I utilize. I'd highly recommend you check it out.
