REVIEW:The Stick-Self Roller Massager ($23-$42)

The reason why I like this because it is small and you can use it anywhere unlike a foam roller in which you need more space. I find this to be a good way to start and end a run, the muscles seem to appreciate the feel of the roller. I purchased this after a noticed that my calf’s were getting tired and needed some help. After a week of using this my calf’s felt much better. This comes in different sizes depending on your intended use and desired stiffness)



Thumbs Up: Easy to use, does not require a lot of room or a complicated routine.
Thumbs Down: not as affective as a foam roller for deep muscle massage.

In the Nerd running bag: YES
