Legs that feel like new!

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2012

Verified Purchase

My trainer used the stick on my legs and I found it so beneficial that I bought one for my husband and myself to use at home. It's easy to use and highly effective! I had worked my legs without regard to irritating the IT band with overuse and my new trainer, who is all about getting muscle groups to work together, noticed how tight my IT bands were. He used a large foam-style roller at first and then moved to The Stick.

I saw how easy it was to use both the foam roller and The Stick and bought both - however The Stick remains my most used and favorite of the two. After just one week of daily use of The Stick my legs are much more flexible and there is no more IT band stiffness.

Use on the IT band: I begin by applying gentle pressure just above the knee and move on top of the IT band, continuing in an upward rolling gentle pressure until I reach the hip. I've learned to 'feel' the IT band's movement under The Stick and keep just enough pressure to stretch out the IT band including the nasty knot that formed about 6 inches on the band above the knee. It's tricky, but if you keep just enough pressure on the knot you can get it to 'give' as you stretch out the IT band. Look here for information on the IT band: [...]

The Stick has worked so well that I am doing dead lifts with no residual stiffness or pain. I do The Stick after every dead lift session. It feels great! This short stick works best for me on the outer portion of the lower leg, calf, and of course the IT band. It's amazing - my legs feel like new!

My husband and I also use it on each other for areas such as the back of the arm and back of the leg.

Works great! No need for the bigger size

Reviewed in the United States on September 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

As someone that doesn't love to stretch (but definitely needs to), the stick provides a quick and effective way to take care of your muscles after a workout or run. I opted for the travel size due to price and ease in taking it on the road. Surprisingly its long enough to cover everything I need, including my back. I'm pretty thin, so it won't cover the entire width of your back for many people. The stick can be used on most muscle groups, and really works well for loosening up tight muscles. Like stretching, it may cause some discomfort for muscles that are tight or aching, but it is a temporary feeling that ends up alleviating the future discomfort you feel after the workout. I can definitely tell the difference the next day between times I used the massage stick and those that I didn't. While not completely taking away any aching or soreness, it reduces it by at least 75% (which totally makes it worth it). You do have to make sure that you are using enough pressure to work your muscles, which will depend on each person and their size. I do recommend taking a look at all of the different models to make sure you are getting the right one for your specific needs. I do wonder if it would be beneficial to have the plastic rings be less smooth. You usually don't have to worry about them slipping, so it just a minor concern. Other than that, it seems like the product is pretty resilient to wear and bending. Overall, I am very happy with my purchase and would buy it again.

So much pain relief!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought this after my physical therapist used it during a session. Works better than a foam roller or lacrosse ball on the big thick muscles of the legs. It’s worth the extra cost compared to the cheaper ones available because of the flexible center core which really allows you to get into the muscle. A difference I wasn’t aware of until my physical therapist point it out. That small 1” flex/bendability really allows you to follow the curve of your muscles to get all those tight hidden knots. Don’t be fooled by the imitations, I’ve used both and this is legions better. I use it several times a day. I leave on my bed because I get leg cramps at night and this helps to calm the muscle down. I’m considering buying another one for the office because I walk a lot at work and it would be great to take a few minutes during the day to relieve the tightness. I have been using it for about two weeks now and have seen a huge difference in my pain level. Also having less leg cramps at night, so this is a life saver.

plantar fascitis

Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2011

Verified Purchase

first of all i want to say that i ordered this yesterday, and by the time i got out of work today it was on my doorstep! From nj to ohio in one day tells me a lot about this seller, so immediately i was impressed. Now on to the meat and potatoes. I suffer from a severe case of plantar fascitis in both feet....its so bad that from feb to may of this year i was on crutches and im still experiencing quite a bit of pain. Needless to say my recovery is very slow. Part of the reason for me still having problems is the fact that all the doctors that i have seen just want to feed me pills and tell me to rest. Later after a lot of reading i discovered that the majority of the pain in my foot is actually coming from my calves and shins. The remedy? Myofascial relief of trigger points. So far i have been making good use of a foam roller and a tennis ball, and i made very good strides almost immediately. After a bit though i was having difficulty getting deep enough of a massage for it to work as well. And that is when i decided to purchase The Stick.
So here is my initial reaction to The Stick:

Quality: very simple design, all plastic, but feels very sturdy. Has a really nice solid feel to it with a little bit of weight.

Effectiveness: definitely as advertizes for my calves and thighs. It is much easier to use The Stick on my lower body than a foam roller or a tennis ball. As for upper body, i think its more practical to use a tennis ball and a wall, you get a deeper massage and can pin point a trigger point much better.

Overall a very solid product. I would definitely reccomend The Stick for anyone suffering from something similar to what i am going through, or for just about any active person who takes their recover seriously.

I suffer from tight calves which resulted me in getting the very painful condition plantar fasciitis. This simple tool helps to massage out any tight knots in my calves but it can be used more or less all over the body. Your in control so can adjust the required pressure. Its sturdy and well made. So pleased l bought this.

Genialer kleiner Helfer

Reviewed in Germany on November 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

Mit diesem kleinen Helferlein kann man wunderbar Verspannungen in Muskeln (z.B. nach dem Training) lösen, indem man mit entsprechendem Druck hin- und herrollt. Dabei biegt sich der Stick und passt sich der Körperform an, ohne dass man aber Angst haben muss, er könnte brechen.
Weil er nur wenig Raum beansprucht, findet er auch im Koffer leicht Platz - vermutlich deshalb trägt er seinen Namen. Ich finde die Größe genau richtig (es gibt auch einen längeren Stick) und wüsste gar nicht, was ich mit einem längeren Stab anfangen sollte.
