    Has anyone else seen these sticks at race expos? Curious what people's experiences have been with them. Have you noticed better post-run stretching? Just another contraption that has made it to your closet floor?

    My son has used one for a couple years. It was recommended by his physical therapist when he was recovering from a IT band injury during his junior year of cross-country. He bought his from www.thestick.com and still uses it, although he is no longer running.

    It was the best investment I made.  I use it after my long runs and it really helps my legs to not feel as tight the next day.

    I picked one up last May and it seemed to help with some ITB issues as well as some achilles issues. I say seemed to as I was also doing some stretches for those issues as well so it is hard to say which had more effect. Feels good though.

    I have been very happy with this purchase.  I had IT pain, and lots of tiredness/soreness on the anterior muscles of the lower leg while training for an ultra.  It was a fantastic way to get the blood flowing in those areas and provide therapeutic massage.  I cannot say for sure, but I feel that it helped me avoid injury during higher mileage weeks.

    I purchased one several years ago on the advice of a personal trainer. I love it! It was definitely the best running investment I made. I had intense knee pain due to ITB tightness. When I use it after runs consistently, I never have a problem. Mine has lasted at least 5 years and has kept my ITB very happy. I recommend it to all runners, as it is relatively inexpensive and can be used for a variety of stretching and massaging moves.

    I bought one about 6 months ago and it's been great. Prior to The Stick my quads were always sore after a long run but now after I run I use it and the next day my legs feel ready to go.
