Massage Stick

Got one of these bad boys for Xmas as I don't get on with foam rollers.

Anyone used one like this? I had a quick play and it appears to be easy to use on my aching legs!

Ooh Andy, that looks like a great "barrel of laughs"! 😉 Turquoise one, at that. I have never used a massage stick, but once I am back out there, could probably do with one. So I would be very interested to hear how you get on with it. 😊

And I have just realised that it would match my trainers! How wonderful is that? Happy days.

I have one. Its fab & even fits neatly into my suitcase for running on work trips!

Looks a little like the rolling pin I occasionally crack out for my legs.

That looks great Andy! I am using a roller but it can be tricky? Let us know how you get on with this!

I have one - find it much easier than a foam roller.

I own one, too, finding it fantastic for releasing tension in the muscles of legs before and after exercise.

It's the next best thing to a sports massage!

I think I have one, though mine is shorter and wider (sounds like my own description hehehe).

Good buy!

I have one of those and they do a good job but I've been experimenting with various balls recently and they really hit the spot 😖

I have one and used to use it before and after each run but now that I try to creep out of the house to run without waking my family, I don't really use it. Mine was quite noisy! They are good though and effective.
