How you can increase your strength, speed, endurance and health of your muscles without doing a workout.

by Rick Ravensdale

If performing at your peak and maximising your functionality is important to you then listen up, this is going to be the most interesting message you'll read this year. Here's why.

As an athlete the chances are your performance is being affected by trigger points. A trigger point makes the muscle taut, tender and painful to touch. Blood flow is restricted, blocking essential nutrients from reaching tired and sore muscles. Not good if you're looking to recover quickly and be at your best for your next performance. And typically these trigger points are hard to treat. Either you've got to seek professional medical help or fumble around with self-massage.

If left untreated your muscles will not be primed for performance and can lead to injury.

“The Stick is used as a training tool by athletes at the United States Olympic Training Centres in Colorado Springs CO, Lake Placid NY, Marquette MI and Chula Vista CA”

— US Olympic Committee Sports Medicine Division.

A solution to Trigger Point pain

Dr. Andrew S Bonci, from the Sport Biomechanics Laboratory has come up with a simple yet ingenious method of counteracting this common issue. The Stick is a non-motorised device that is used to slide along affected muscles. The unique independent spindles spin freely and are attracted to knots, trigger points and areas of tightness. An affected muscle can be free of pain and stiffness in as little as 30 seconds.

But it gets better. Research has shown the Stick can help in multiple facets of fitness.

  • Warming Up – Traditionally, warming up requires light exercise to raise muscle temperature and enzyme activity. Unfortunately, this comes at the expense of stored energy and could make the difference between 1st and 2nd place. The Stick allows you to warm up effectively without wasting vital energy reserves.
  • Growth, Repair and Glycogen – Blood flow is restricted to muscles after exercise hindering in muscle growth, repair and glycogen repletion. This is caused by muscle tightness and trigger points. The Stick helps relax tight muscles and aids in muscle growth and repair with restoration of optimal glycogen levels.
  • Lactic Acid Removal – The Stick aids in lactic acid removal and optimises performance. Lactic acid is more quickly converted to glucose so it can be used effectively by the body.

Specifications

This is the most popular model for the average male / female. Its 24'' length and 15 working spindles address most muscle groups with ease.

How it works

Use The Stick to roll over muscles throughout your body. It will unlock knots, providing myofascial release and trigger point therapy. This will help you warm the muscles, increase circulation and provide nutrient rich blood flow to problem areas. You'll find instant pain relief, increase range of motion, improved flexibility, better recovery times and ultimately enhanced performance.

Simple, but works
I'm using it before playing tennis, and I'm not in such agony the next day now, so a great result for me! You can apply as much pressure as you can tolerate in your problem areas and other areas in general; rolling and smoothing out your muscles.
Good for calves
Good product, rolls out lumps easily. If your a bigger guy might be too small for you.
Wow... Just Wow!
I wasn't sure what to expect when I got this out the bag but after about 2 mins I was like a ball of putty! Great piece of kit, so easy to use and you don't feel like you have to be gentle with it either! I've had some major muscle aches and pains and after 2 uses I can already feel major improvements! Should have bought it ages ago, well worth the coin!
Does what it says on the box - you will be happy
I cycle a lot and tried a few gagets over the years. This is the quickest and easiest way to give your legs a massage.
Great tool, saves alot of time on rooling out.
Essential for therapists
As someone who uses their hands everyday to make a living, the stick has become a handy piece of equipment to add to my arsenal! Instead of blowing out my thumbs on stubborn trapezius, quadricep or bicep or tricep muscles, I use the stick to work through the tight fascia and trigger points. Essential equipment if your manual therapy work involves treating trades people! Thanks.
Makes massage easy
I use the massage stick so many times per day it's just not funny. I love it. Nice fast delivery too.
No need to pay for a massage anymore
Great piece of kit. Makes self massage much easier and less tiring. Once you learn the technique, you can iron out the kinks easily. My back and neck feel much better for it.

Answered Questions

• Do you guys have the other models as well? Or just sell the Original one?

A: At the moment we currently only have the one model.

• Hello, just wondering what model this stick is and also it's length. Thanks. Robert

A: We currently stock the Original Body Stick- 24" with 15 working spindles.

• Is this a good method to use if you have ITB issues? I can't seem to relieve the muscle any other way.

A: "Issues" is pretty broad so hard to say definitively but for myofascial tightness in the ITB area, users of the stick and more specifically the sprinter stick have had great results.

Save with shipping

Here's how you can save 10% to 20% on your shipping costs.

Shipping can be expensive. With our dense and heavy items it can cost a small fortune to ship our products around Australia.

This is something we're well aware of and have worked hard to keep costs down while also ensuring your goods get delivered quickly and in perfect condition.

Enter Star Track Express. These guys are now our preferred supplier and have given us some fantastic rates. Not to mention their computer system works with ours so there should be far less headaches with tracking and shipping times.

Would you like to save even more on shipping?

Star Track offer between 10 and 20% discounts for items delivered to a business.

Why?

Because there is a 99.98% deliverability success rate when items are shipped to a business. Compare this to a 88.48% success rate to a home address.

So there are less complaints and redelivery fees. This makes everyone happy so Star Track offer a nice discount if you get your stuff sent to your business.

Here's some other reasons why you should consider getting your gear sent to a business address:

  • Less chance of items going missing (items left at a home address can go walking)
  • Faster delivery times as businesses are located in easy to get to locations. Plus businesses have priority over home addresses. (Star Track claim that they can deliver to 3-4 times more business addresses than home addresses)
  • No redelivery fees because items almost always get delivered 1st go (as there is always someone at a business address)
  • No need to hang around all day waiting for things to be delivered.
  • Less chance of damage because items are delivered more quickly and spend less time in the truck.
We ask you to consider getting your items sent to your place of work, that way everyone benefits!
