The Stick is a revolutionary device used to segmentally compress and stretch muscle. It is highly effective in the treatment of muscle pain and trigger points.
What is it?
To put it simply, it’s a stick with a bunch of rollers on it. That’s an over simplification of “a space-age plastic that allows for necessary flexibility of the tool which provides maximum compression of the muscles (the Stick contains no rubber or wood.)“ The Stick lets you become your own personal masseuse and rub away all those trigger points and sore spots.
How does it work?
The whole concept is pretty simple, actually. By gripping the ends of the stick and compressing a muscle (for example, the quadriceps on the front of the thigh) you can roll the stick up and down the muscle. As you continue to massage the muscle, you’ll encounter some number of “bumps” or sore spots that feel like little knots. These are the trigger points that can rob a muscle of its strength. By working them out with the rolling action of the tool, the muscle is able to function optimally. It can stretch, contract, twist and compress to its maximum capacity without inhibition. The local increase in blood flow is also a great way to “flush out” lactic acid and help recover from lactic acid buildup after a long workout. It was even used by 7 time TDF champion Lance Armstrong to help him recover in between stages.
