If you can use a rolling pin, you can use TheŽStick!
It's a flexible rod with a
handle on each end and
smooth spindles in between.
You simply roll it over muscles and soft
tissue, increasing circulation into the tissues and working out stiffness and
pain.

BUT WHAT DOES IT ACTUALLY DO?
|
|
It has 2 major actions.
#1- It increases blood flow into and out of the
tissues.
This warms up the
muscles, making them less susceptible to injury before
any sport or activity. And
because it does this with a minimal amount of energy, it is the perfect warm-up tool for athletes since
they can save their energy for the event.
But it's also perfect for after an activity or workout. Why?
Because the
stiffness and soreness you experience after an athletic workout (or any other
prolonged activity such as construction or working in a factory) is
caused by the build-up of toxins like lactic acid in the tissues. And
when you roll TheŽStick
over the muscles it
flushes that lactic acid out!
So
you can
work harder without getting stiff. And
recover faster to go at it again!
#2- The
second
major action of TheŽStick is on the muscle fibers themselves.
Picture your muscles as a bundle of
elastic bands.
Every time you injure or strain a muscle it's like tying a knot
in some of those
elastic bands (that knot is called a Trigger Point). For every knot
you have, there is pain, decreased blood flow, and less flexibility in the
muscle.
The bottom line? The muscle tissue around the trigger point is
"non-compliant" - it doesn't function properly. And the more trigger
points you have, the less effectively the muscle performs.
If you're an athlete, this is bad news -
Because you won't perform at your peak
until you work out those knots.
If you're not an
athlete, it's still bad news -
Because the pain
and stiffness around those trigger points affects your ability to perform your
day-to-day tasks ... at work, play, or in the home.
What's the good news?
When you roll TheŽStick over muscles
it releases those trigger points!
...easily, almost
effortlessly, and with minimal discomfort since you control the pressure.
