Affordable Sports Recovery

The Stick provides us with an affordable and effective method for quick recovery.

The reason rugby players can play up to 2 matches a week is due to their post-game treatment and recovery. They sit in ice baths and get massages from physios after each match, this cuts down their recovery time 50%. But lets face it, many of us do not have the time or the money to go for physiotherapy after each time we play a game of touch rugby or hit the road for our daily 10kmΓÇÖs. The Stick is, essentially, your own physiotherapist, at a fraction of the price.

After your exercise you can sit down for 20 mins and give those tired muscles a well-deserved massage. Massaging these muscles causes blood to rush to the area and wash away the metabolic waste, speeding up the recovery process! It will also remove tight spots in the muscles; think of kneading dough and using the roller to knead out the inconsistencies. For post game recover you would focus on deep tissue rolling so in other words you will apply greater pressure and before games you would lightly roll which will loosen up muscles and tissue and stimulate blood circulation to the core muscle.

Heating up core muscles will allow for greater mobility and ultimatley allow the muscle to move and function properly!
