Benefits of Having someone roll your leg with the stick

Bump...

well i dunno what you mean by stick, but you can check this out, it's what my chiropractor uses on me and it works like sheeeeit. http://grastontechnique.com/grastontechnique/default.htm

WOW and maybe OW! I checked the website and that looks like it could be very effective and also painful depending on how tight muscles are and how much scar tissue is involved. I feel like I have a lot of scar tissue related problems with old injury sites to include the IT band area and also the glute/hams.... I tried to see if there were any practioners in my area but it did not look like it.Can you tell me more about why you needed this type of release and how long it took to see a turn around and so forth, thanks in advance...

Ok, so anyone actually know how the stick rolling works when someone else does it?

Yeah, I've done it. Had my sibling roll the stick as hard as she could along my IT band, while i braced myself against the wall. Ordinary men might have felt discomfort, but I am no ordinary man. I don't think it really mattered much, though- I have found that the stick is really only effective for sore/tight hamstrings, and likewise with the calves. And arches, actually, when you roll your foot over it while the stick is on the ground.

It works for tight hamstrings???

Fuuuck, I'm gonna order one right now.

I am a massage therapist and I really like the stick. I reccomend it to lots of people, especially athletes. It really releaves tired, achey muscles.

I just use a piece of hard pvc pipe. works like a charm
