THE STICK. Any advice...

1st)  Use it gently to start.  Press to hard into a muscle and you might jump through the roof.

2nd) Use it regularly.

I picked up mine about a month ago.  The "sales expert" showed me to rub hard on my IT band.  Man I felt it right away.  After about a week I was feeling a lot better.  I use it before and after runs, about 30 seconds on each area.

On my IT band I sit on the edge of the tub deck.  On my left leg my left hand goes on top of the stick.  My right hand reaches between my legs and grabs the bottom of the stick.  So the leg side hand is on top and the opposite hand reachs down between and on bottom. 

I use it on my calfs after a long ride.

I don't know for sure if it was the stick or tossing the Asics, but my IT problems seem behind me now.

20 times on a leg then switch legs.  Repeat 3-4 times all over the leg muscles.  I do it while watching TV.

 Does wonders for shin splints and any loose muscles.

 I took it in my Hood To Coast relay van.  By the end of the race, everyone was using it before and after the race.  I love it.

i have the travel stick and don't use it nearly enough.  works good on the feet, too btw!

 Looks like torture. Impressive testimonials, but I must admit I got a good laugh at the model names.

I like to take a can of tennis balls, stuff two in a sock, and roll over that!  I save the other ball for smaller areas.

Just don't try packing your stick in your carry-on when you fly; there's been reports of customers having them confiscated as weapons. Seriously.
