Re: The Stick massage Tool
For runners, foam rollers and massage sticks are saviors.
They help to loosen muscle knots developed from running and training and even help condition them for the next run.
I'm not sure what type of foam roller you have (here are main foam roller types), and I'm guessing you have a less dense one.
Massage sticks are much denser and many come with a bumpy surface.
They get to your knots and penetrate your target area more than foam rollers. If you are not used to it, you may find the stick messaging experience painful.
Areas and muscles you can work on are pretty much the same as foam rollers. Here are over 15+ messages you can do with either a foam roller or massage stick.
If you are starting out, get a milder surface. Ones with a bit less bumps. You can also get a harder, bumpier surfaced stick once you get started.
