  Seems to work well... June 28, 2008
I use the Stick almost daily before and after my runs (up to 10 miles, but usually 2-4 miles). I suffer from Compartment Syndrome and have had compartment release surgery on my left leg in the past. The successful surgery allowed me to continue to run. Unfortunately, over the past year, my right leg began exhibiting symptoms of compartment syndrome. Not wanting to endure additional surgery and on my doc's advice, I purchased the Stick. The idea is to loosen the facia of the leg muscles before and after the run in order to allow increased expansion of the leg muscles during exercise. It seems to work. I've had decresed symptoms and believe I can continue to run without resorting to surgery.
Good Item, Not great description May 26, 2008
I liked the stick, but I really don't think that they did a good job describing it. They said on the site that it was half a foot shorter, and it ended up taking about a week longer than it said to be delivered. Its a great product just the site description and the delivery were disappointing.

I'm glad I found this item. I have fibromyalgia and sometimes feel bruised all over. Gently rolling the stick across those sore areas helps relieve the pain.
 Not so easy to use on the neck area May 3, 2008

The runners' websites recommend foam rollers and THE STICK for sore muscles. I had the foam roller (GOFIT) and it worked amazingly, but I couldn't get to the neck/shoulder area with the foam roller. I, therefore, decided to get the STICK. I was not impressed with the STICK.
The stick rolls across the body like a rolling pin but it doesn't hammer out the knots like the foam rollers do. I returned my "stick."
Great help with sore muscles and knots March 22, 2008
The Stick is a great device. I bought mine based on other user reviews. I was having a lot of trouble with tight muscles and plantar fasciitis. This helped, but didn't totally get rid of the problem. I've started cross-training and The Stick has been great for relieving sore muscles. You have to remember to use it though! Highly recommend!
