Muscle stick are awesome at keeping your muscles supple and breaking down any soreness and injury. They are easy to use too. You just roll away for a few minutes a day, and the difference is noticeable.

The ‘muscle toothbrush’ from The Stick is getting a lot of publicity and people are raving about it so I thought I’d take a much closer look.

What Is the Muscle Toothbrush?

The muscle toothbrush is a self-massage tool from a company simply called The Stick. They market it as ‘a toothbrush for muscles’. While it’s not a huge brush, it is a tool that you can use every day so I see where they are coming from.

The company are calling is a revolutionary medical device to treat muscle pain and trigger points. Using the stick on a regular basis will dramatically improve your recovery, muscle performance, muscle health and flexibility.

While it’s not a new invention, it is one of the better sticks on the market. It’s made from space-age plastic. Pretty impressive for a massage stick, it allows it to flex and bend without breaking or losing its form.

The rollers in the middle of the stick also have ‘memory’, so they return to the original position after use. The rollers are designed to spin round as you press the stick on your muscles. It’s like massaging your muscles, it feel great actually.

It was popularized by the USA Cycling Team when they started using the sticks on their lower limbs. If it’s good enough for professional athletes, then it’s going to do wonders for you. It comes with a 90 day satisfaction guarantee, and a one year full warranty. So there are no reasons not to give one a try!

Dimensions – 17.5” x 2” x 1”, and weighs 11.2 oz.

FAQ’s

Can the Muscle Toothbrush Be Used on Neck and Shoulders Easily?

Is the Stick Good for Deep-Tissue Work?

It’s not idea for deep-tissue massage. It has too much give to be really effective. You can apply as much pressure as you want, so it’s up to you how hard you press. But I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for deep-tissue.
