Soma System 2-in-1 Muscle Roller Stick. Great for Leg Cramps, Back Pain Relief, Deep Tissue Massage & Physical Therapy – Effective for Trigger Points Release

This does help me work through the sore spots. Sometimes I have a difficult time getting it right into the area I want, but generally really helps to relieve soreness. I workout a lot and feel that this helps with recovery.

i have a million massage tools. this doesn't mean that i won't welcome a million and one. before owning this tool, i had also acquired SOMA's orange massage peanuts (which may be on amazon with a different name), which slightly give (medium hardness) and work wonderfully to iron out my paraspinals; i have two towards this end. this tool looks similar to the former but possesses several differences. 1. it's hard. the peanut appears to be slightly smaller than the orange massage peanut. liberal travel with the side handles allows for quick and effective ironing out my often quite tight IT bands; if you're a runner, you can sympathize. while using a foam roller and bodyweight could also do the trick, this tool provides more flexibility because you can bring it to the office and roll yourself out into a flat dough (i have to admit, it does look like a rolling pin) before moving on to your other tasks for the day. highly recommended!

I’m a runner and I primarily use this to soothe my leg muscles before and after a run. I have a lot of runners soreness and I find that the roller stick perfect for soothing out my quad muscles. Personally I find that the hardness of the wood makes for a more relaxing experience, though others might find something softer to be better. As I self-massager it’s also wonderful—rolling it on my shoulders and neck is a great way to get sooth tight muscles and increase circulation when sitting too much during work. It’s also light and small enough to take with you on trips. It’s a really great investment overall!

My wife needs a regular back and shoulder massage, which I am the one to deliver. This tool came as a huge relief for both of us. First, my wife says that it reaches a lot deeper, releasing tight spots I was never be able to reach. Her muscles are less sore now thanks to this stick roller. Second, my hands and fingers have been getting way less tired since we started using this tool. It is a miracle!For even deeper trigger point massage, consider  Trigger Point Massage Tool - Excellent for self massage and self myofascial release

I ordered this product on the advice of my DR. The tool seems like it might work. There are zero instructions. I repeatedly tried to get information but got a run around on how to use other products the company sells. Still trying to figure this out. Hopefully they will respond. If not back it goes.

Perfect after workouts. I do a lot of workouts. I use this 2-in-1 roller stick and massage ball before and after workouts. I mostly use it on my quads and IT Band because they hurt the most. The tool rolls very easily and nicely, and I can feel some knots release. My muscles have become less tight since I’ve started using the tool. I would recommend though a more friendly​ color :)

This muscle roller massage stick is perfect in size, design and quality. It is large enough to use on the thigh muscles and small enough to reach those tender muscles along the spine of your back. I also like the size because it's easy to carry in a purse or backpack. Purchase was well worth the money!

This is by far the best roller I have used on my lower legs.... I have many trigger points in my gastrocnemius and soles muscles... having just received this yesterday I am amazed at the difference I feel already.... as a massage therapist I am excited to introduce this to my clients
