Sticks for Tired Muscles

Sore muscles are caused by stress, tension, or improper use. The problem is that they can sneak up on you at any time no matter where you are, and you certainly want them to stop hurting immediately. It is just impossible to live a happy and successful life as you constantly battle muscle pain.

So this is what I do to relieve my muscle tension and stress. I carry a massage Travel Stick made by The Stick company. I use this massage stick to massage my muscles when they start to ache, and it works absolutely perfectly for any size muscle group regardless of why they are sore.

The massage sticks designed by The Stick company are made of highly developed plastic that was designed for space flight. This plastic is extremely flexible so that the stick conforms to every curve in your muscles. Inside the plastic rods are independent spindles that deeply massage every fiber of your muscle. Frankly, the only way to get a better massage is to pay for one.

The part that I like is that the Travel Stick is small enough to carry with you anywhere. It is only 17″ long, but it still has 8 spindles that provide plenty of compression and pressure to stimulate your muscles. The Travel Stick only costs $27.50, and it is really a Godsend for me.

For example, the other day I was travelling to install a new manufacturing system into a plant our company had just purchased. I had worked several 16-hour days back to back, I was stuck in a hotel hundreds of miles away from home, and I was hurting. The stress and tension had absolutely tightened my neck muscles to the point that I could hardly turn my head. I was in a little, tiny town after dark, so I certainly wasn’t going to be able to find a masseuse. I was pretty much on my own.

Thankfully, I had experienced all of this before, so I just pulled out my Travel Stick and went to work on my tight muscles. Let me tell you something – I could not have imagined how quickly and how well these massage sticks work. Within just a 4-5 minute progression of successfully harder and deeper muscle massages, I was able to lie down and get a good night’s sleep. The only other thing I know that I could have done if I had not had the Travel Stick is to pop muscle relaxers until they knocked me out.

But the Travel Stick is also fantastic for athletes. If you exercise at all, you know that warming up and cooling down are very important to your health. You can actually do more damage to your muscles if you don’t warm up and cool down properly than if you didn’t exercise at all. But you don’t have to worry if you own a Travel Stick. You can use your massage stick on your calves, legs, back, neck, and shoulders to relieve the tension and remove the waste from your muscles so they will heal quickly.

The products that are made by The Stick company are catching on worldwide. Teams such as the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, and the Chicago Bulls use these massage sticks regularly. You know that if it they work well enough to be used by highly trained professional athletes then they will work great for you! In fact, the USA Cycling Team actually carries a Travel Stick with them to use on their legs before and after they train. Talk about an endorsement!

The Travel Stick works great for professional athletes, it works great for me, and I know that it will work fantastic for you and your sore and aching muscles!
