Hey this is sort of a review of this product 'the stick' or intracell stick some people know it as. I recently got one, I got the stiff stick which is the most rigid in the series and thought to be best suited for heavyset or muscular body types. It claims to increase blood circulation, flexibility, speed up recovery, release myofascia triggerpoints and MORE!
I have been using it 2-3 times a day usually when i get up, after training and then about 30 minutes before bed and i have to say its not a gimmick it really works, my muscles feel alot more supple and loose and just generally more relaxed instead of the usual tight and sore feeling i have after training i.e DOMS. I usually work on the given area with the stick for 30 seconds just to get blood into that area then work for 15-20 seconds deeper on the trigger points which you can feel (because using this stick hurts like hell but its very worth it) then i stretch the area for around 30 seconds.
I mean ive been doing this for around 6 days and i feel the benefits so hopefully theyl just get even better the more i use it, when i use it just before bed it relaxes my muscles heavily which helps me get a great sleep. I thought id post this because i cant really find any infomation on this product or real user reviews which arent just the companys words so here you go!
Any of you guys used the stick before? or got anything to add?
