Benefits of the massage stick:
- Muscle Release: Apply pressure to the tensioned muscles, and the massage stick will help ease the tension and increase blood flow.
- Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion: Massage sticks can relieve trigger points, which allows the muscles to move painlessly, increasing their range of motion.
- Enhanced Circulation and Recovery: Sticks increase the blood circulation in the targeted area, reducing its soreness and speeding the recovery.
