The Stick Runner's Massage Tool is a revolutionary device used to segmentally compress and stretch muscle. It is highly effective in the treatment of muscle pain and trigger points.
The Stick provides the following benefits:
- Prevent & Predict Muscle Injuries
- Dramatically improve strength, flexibility and endurance
- Rapidly prepare muscles for physical activity
- Disperse the effects of lactic acid following activity
- Accelerate muscle recovery
What is the Stick Made of, how long will it last?
Stick products are made of a space-age plastic that allow necessary flexibility of the tool and provide maximum compression of the muscles (the Stick contains no rubber or wood). The center rod of the Stick is surrounded by spindles which roll independently over the muscle. The handles provide maximum comfort in the grip. The Stick comes with 1 year manufacturer's warranty against defects. With proper use, The Stick should last a lifetime.
Medical Talk:
The Stick converts non-compliant muscle to compliant muscle by performing what Dr. Travell calls stripping massage. In fact, this noted medical physician relates that, "deep stripping massage of the tender spot in the muscle was generally the treatment of choice for muscular rheumatism (myofascial trigger points) long before the turn of this century, and for fibrositis afterwards." The Stick allows people to self-perform general as well as segmental therapeutic procedures with a high degree of precision. These procedures remove the barriers to peak physical performance. It is the unassisted rolling, stretching, twisting and compressing of the muscle that diffuses barrier trigger points and converts non-compliant muscle to compliant muscle.

Perfect tool for the endurance athlete

If you run long distances or do endurance workouts, this is a must have tool. It's great for massaging the tired legs and especially the calf muscle. The stick will bend some, so you can really work all areas of the leg. I use it after all my long runs and I think it helps speed up recovery.

This is a must-have item for any endurance athlete. Self-massage and body work is critical for injury prevention and this device makes it as easy as possible to take care of yourself. This particular model has some flex to it so it forms to your muscles better than the other models which are harder and work deeper -- almost too deep. I carried this on through security at the airport and got stopped for it because they though it was a weapon.. might want to check it when you fly.
