What is a massage stick and how do you use it?

A massage stick is a massage tool used for rolling out tension and aches in specific muscles. A massage stick is primarily used on the calf muscles and it is rolled up and down the length of the muscle, remember to not apply too much pressure but enough to feel the benefits of using a massage stick.

Athletes find it particularly useful for recovery and tense muscles, people with plantar fasciitis sometimes develop muscle tension in the calves if left untreated so a massage stick comes in handy for this as well, please visit our Plantar Fasciitis Insoles and Treatment buyers guide and the relevantPlantar Fasciitis products.

What do hot stones do in massage?

Hot stones, although not primarily massage tools can be used for massage treatments. Hot stones are used in hot stone therapy, a massage technique that involves placing the heated stone on the body, this relaxes the muscles and can release tension.

Our hot stones also include pressure point massage tools and technically the Wavestone is a hot stone too because it can be heated and cooled for Hot and Cold Therapy and Hot Stone Therapy. Please visit our Hot Stone Massage section for more information
