Get the stick! So says my Physical Therapist who works with avid runners. My husband and I like the marathon stick because it's great for calves and it band. I also use it on my lower back which have been feeling tight, and I'm seeing good results. I have fibromyalgia and use another of their products which is the intruder for trigger points. It's more of a deep tissue targeted massage that helps a lot. I read some people were getting bruises from these products, but you have to learn what your pressure threshold is. You don't want to pound out your muscles, you want to ease into massaging them. When done right, you will have good results, so don't overdo it. I'm happy with their products and recommend to people who are active and want to take care of their bodies.

I recently purchased the Original Stick. I go to physical therapy. I have IT band syndrome. The doctor at the physical therapy clinic has me using the massage stick to massage those painful areas. Because I didn't have one, he recommended me using a rolling pin in place of the massage stick. The rolling pin wasn't massaging as well as the stick. So I asked him if I could get one like the one I use here in the clinic. When I received the massaging stick, I was so happy. The massaging stick works well especially on painful areas and relieves muscle tension. It is a flexible stick with ergonomic handles.

Very easy to use and helped with my calf pain.

I pulled my hamstring during an ebike race and after trying streches,laser therapy,etc. The original stick is helping me roll out my hamstring, and I am back riding my bike to get my leg strength back

This stick has helped me keep my legs feeling great even as I increase my mileage. I read the directions and worked out all the spots that feel knotted. It really helps!

Great size for travel or just rolling out after a run or a race!

I've had a stick for over 10 years and still love it! So much easier than a foam roller to travel to races with and you don't have to climb down on the floor to use it either. Great fir everyday use to stay loose during training blocks.

I use this after every gym session and it truly helps with aches and pains. I sometimes hand it to my wife and she helps me with my back.

Best muscle relief on the market for runners.

My son plays football, basketball, weight lifts...etc. He was always stealing my massage stick so I got him one. He loves it and it has helped keep his muscles massaged and ready for sports! The roller really finds the knots and helps get those worked out. Helps promote circulation too! Thank you!

My husband loves this and uses it all the time. It has really helped him with his sore muscles. It works particularly well on his legs. Super lightweight and portable.

I have terrible pain in my piriformis and hip flexor. This is a good tool to help get out the knots.

Works great

Amazingly effective! Just bought one for my 83 yr old mother after she tried the one I've been using for over 14 years. Great for nightly massage when touring on motorcycle or bicycle as well as daily relief for aches from neck to feet, especially calves.

Awesome way to rub out your calf muscles and perhaps your quads too. I'm a runner and these areas are tough to smooth out by yourself. I've tried it for neck and back, but I think the shortest model that I got is not long enough for this.
