The Stick has become a standard training device at each level of every sport. Pre-activity stretching of muscle, without hyper-extending the joints, is a benefit beyond measure in sports. Post-activity use of The Stick enhances and accelerates muscle recovery, which leads to elevation of performance. Professionals report that strength, flexibility, and endurance occur naturally with release of the myofascia (the thin, almost translucent film that wraps around muscle tissue) and de-activation of the offending trigger points. Aids in flushing out lactic acid, which causes the pain and soreness associated with exercise.
The Marathon Stick® is the most flexible of the small models. It was popularized by world-class distance runners and is the favorite model of Bob Anderson, world's foremost authority on stretching, and author of the best-seller, Stretching.
