Massage Sticks and Massage Tools

The range sorts into four groups. Rolling sticks such as the Rumble Massage Stick and the TriggerPoint GRID STK have a handle at each end and a roller in the middle. Trigger point tools, like the Jacknobber II, the Thumb Saver and the Psoas Muscle Massager Tool, press into one spot. The gua sha tools are flat muscle scrapers you draw along the skin with some pressure, including a stainless steel version and the 40cm Gua Sha Fascia Tool for longer stretches of leg. The last group is hand rollers such as the LIVEUP Y-Shaped Hand Massager.

A stick is easier than a foam roller on calves and quads because your hands set the pressure instead of your body weight, and it fits in a gym bag when you travel. For your back and hips, see our foam rollers and massage balls, and for feet, the foot rollers.
