Why The Stick?

There are many, many, many fitness and wellness products out there!  In fact, there a loads of products that promise and offer the same benefits and results as The Stick.  The logical question is “Ok, which one is right for me?”  My opinion is The Stick!

Please do not get me wrong.  The other products on the market are valuable and may also do the job!  Here a 10 simple facts about The Stick:

1. It is so easy to use!
2. You can use it anywhere.
3. You can take it anywhere.
4. You can use it in virtually any position, as long as your muscle is relaxed!
5. You can get it wet, drop it in the mud or snow and it will still work!
6. You do not need a mat.
7. You do not need a plug in.
8. It is light and very versatile.
9. It massages your muscles, not crushes them.
10. The Stick was created and developed with University Scientific Studies!

In addition to the 10 points above, the cost of a Stick is very attractive as well.  The average massage therapist charges around $50.00 for one session.  In my opinion, this is very reasonable and there is nothing on the market that can replace the hands, knuckles and elbows of a human.  Let’s face it, the human touch has been proven time and time again to heal!  The average cost of a Stick is around $40.00.  The difference is, you can use The Stick 3 times a day if you want!!!!

So, I think you can agree that nothing can replace the human touch, but I can attest that The Stick just could be the next best thing!!

The Gift That Keeps on Roll’n!

 

Have you got all your holiday shopping done yet?

Why not purchase a Stick for anyone on your list?  I gaurantee that they won’t be able to tell what it is when it is all wrapped up.  In addition, the one liner jokes and hints you could write on the gift tag could be endless!  You could say stuff like:

•  Here is a gift that will make you feel good!
• “Stick” to it!
• You can roll your troubles away!
• “Stick” it to stress with this gift.
• Your muscles will thank me.
• Yule be rolling for the holidays!

Ok, Ok, I know they are getting pretty bad.  I will stop.  Please feel free to make a comment below if you have other good ones!!

Ok, seriously….. The Stick does make a great gift for anyone.  It really is the gift that keeps on giving!

IT Band Syndrome

I have noticed an interesting statistic.

It turns out that many people who visit my website – Zealous Vitality Inc. Featuring: THE STICK  are downloading my IT Band Specific Technique PDF file.  This tells me, there are many people out there who suffer from Iliotibial Band Sydrome (ITBS). 

I know The Stick can help!  How do I know?  The answer is……… because The Stick offers deep penetrating massage!!!  There are articles, upon articles that agree and disagree with each other on how to treat ITBS.  The bottom line is they all agree that massage therapy works!

To save you time, here are a few resources:

• ITBS Help Site – Very informative!!!
• Iliotibial Band Syndrome – About.com – Orthopedic Review
• eMecine Article – An excellent research based website.
• SaveYourself.ca – An amazing website written by a Canadian!!!

The Stick is a perfect tool to help with ITBS.  When I help people decide what Stick is best for them, I always ask them if they have IT Band problems.  If so, I recommend a stiffer model like The Sprinter Stick so that they can massage their IT Bands anytime, anyplace!!

Where to keep The Stick?

 

To be totaly honest, I was skeptical when I first purchased a Marathon Stick two years ago.  Now my body craves The Stick!

Here are some helpful Stick tips.  In order to make the most of a good thing, we (my wife,kids and I) have Sticks on every level of our house!  We have a Trigger Wheel in the kitchen and a Body Stick on the main floor.  Upstairs, we have a Marathon Stick.  We also keep a Travel Stick in our developed basement.

What am I getting at?  It is easy to explain.  If you do not have your Stick handy, you probably will not use it as much as if it was at arms length.  Many of our good friends tell us that they keep their Sticks on their coffee tables!  They often joke with us when we visit them by showing that they do use their Stick by pointing out that it is not stashed away in a closet somewhere.

On another note, when I am working at a fitness fair or expo, I get countless people who slow down or stop by and tell me that they already have a Stick!  My response is always the same….. “Great!  Are you using it everyday?”  I get all sorts of answers.  Some people explain that they only use their Stick when their muscles hurt.  Others say that they use it everyday.  I also have some people who say that they need to use it more.  I love it when these “Stick Users” come by and share their stories with me.  The bottom line is you should be using your Stick everyday to maximize the full potential of The Stick!

I have come up with a plan to help ”Stick Users” stay up to date and motivated.  On my website: Zealous Vitality.ca, I have created a section where you can register with me and receive updates via email.  You can see the area on the left side menu titled “Please register to receive the latest updates!”  Your information will not be shared with anyone.  I already have many people on my mailing list who receive emails from Zealous Vitality who are already enjoying my updates.

Bye for now and keep on roll’n.
