Designed in Rehab. Refined in Motion.
Engineered around real anatomy, proven through lived recovery.
From Break to Better.
Built the Hard Way.
Both legs crushed. Months in a wheelchair. Learning to walk again.
That was not the first time Mike had rebuilt himself.
Mogul skiing in winter. Mountain bike trials in summer. By his twenties, he carried disc herniations, compression fractures, and chronic back pain. Strong, but misaligned.
In Boulder, he lived in the CU library, pulling stacks of orthopedics and biomechanics books, thirty-six at a time.
He rebuilt through small, disciplined adjustments and a deep understanding of how the body actually works.
After the crash, that same system applied. Slow progress. Earned range. No shortcuts.
From Recovery to Design.
RAD began in a garage.
The first roller was made by cutting lacrosse balls in half and bolting them together. Simple. Precise. The goal was not more pressure, but better motion, especially through the thoracic spine, the foundation for everything above and below.
Every tool follows one rule: anatomy first. The Helix mirrors the spine’s natural curve. The Rod reaches deep without punishing bone. Shape, size, density, all intentional.
No trends. No excess. Just engineered range.
Built for the Long Run.
Mobility is not given. It is built.
Release creates a small window, ten or twenty degrees of new motion. You strengthen into that range. Own it. Repeat.
That is how change sticks.
The body adapts. Movement is foundational. Recovery is not optional.
RAD exists for people who plan to keep moving, for the long haul.
