Celebrating 25 Years


Join us in celebrating 25 healthy years with The Stick.

It’s hard for us to believe so many years have gone by. We recall our humble beginnings: a doctor with an idea…and the passion and the courage to pursue it. Ideas born over the kitchen table swiftly morphed into small groups of employees assembling The Stick at break-neck pace to keep up with the demand.

As the originators of such a seemingly simple, yet highly complex, device, Doc and his partners sought ways to send patients home with a tool that could help them heal themselves...and even more importantly, maintain that wellness for years to come. Quality, durability, and biomechanical expertise blended into The Stick, which was purposefully designed to last as long as you would need it. 25 years – and dozens of awards – later, we’re still celebrating your health and wellness. 

Over time, we’ve expanded from one model of The Stick to a dozen, each specializing in a different area of the body. Whether you’re looking to heal a wound, treat an illness, maintain excellence, or simply improve your muscular performance, The Stick can work wonders. Read through our various models to see which may be best suited to you.

Let us know how we can help you; it’s our joy and pride to do so. If unsure of which Stick to try, please give us a call: 1-800-554-1501. We’re always happy to chat and guide you in the right direction.

So please join us as we celebrate our Silver Anniversary. It’s because of you that The Stick has done so well, and we sincerely thank you. Please know that it’s our goal to do well by you in all that we do.

As a thank you: for our trainers, coaches, retail outlets, and anyone else interested in buying several Sticks, we offer our “Bakers Dozen” sale: Buy 12 and the 13th is FREE! 

And for our military and service members, don’t forget to ask for your Military Discount. Thank you for all you do.

Helping Our Heroes


Muscle endurance, strength, and recovery play critical roles in an athlete’s overall success. That we know…yet the same can be said for our nation’s heroes – our first responders and front-line defenders – especially when on the battlefield, in theatres of war, or under extreme stress. 

2nd Lieutenant Connor Maggs - Iraq


Since our inception, we at The Stick have proudly supported all who strive higher; and we’ve remained cognizant of supporting our nation’s heroes as they toil in unimaginable conditions to keep us safe and free to do what we love – which, for us, is sharing The Stick with the world.

Studies have shown that soldiers, like any other high-performing athletes, benefit greatly from PET massages. PET is an acronym for Prevention, Endurance, and Treatment

To quote Dr Andrew S. Bonci’s proposed addendum to the Army Physical Fitness Manual:







Prevention

When the soldier has been inactive for a period of time the muscles become less pliable. Metabolic waste products may become trapped in the muscles which further reduces fluidity.

Endurance

It is important to utilize [The Stick's] exercises during intense physical activity to help replenish the energy requirement and to help in the removal of metabolic waste products. This procedure may increase the soldier's endurance and muscular enhancement.

Treatment

Recovery time to specific muscles is greatly reduced when stripping massage is used with [The Stick] device. Muscle spasms, or an unconscious contracture of muscle tissue, may interrupt or follow strenuous activity. All periods of strenuous activity should conclude with the eight (8) minute regime using [The Stick] device.

Conclusion

It has been suggested that [The Stick] device can magnify a soldier's performance by modulating his flexibility (full story). The benefits can have far reaching effects in terms of heightened performance on the battlefield, survivability, injury prevention, accelerated recovery from heavy exercise, modulation of pain, and cost containment.

Andrew S Bonci, D.C. has many accolades to his name, 
including diplomate status in the American Academy of Pain Management.



As we here at The Stick keep 2nd Lieutenant Connor Maggs, a 2014 Air Force Academy graduate currently in Iraq (pictured above), in our thoughts, we wanted to remind others that their friends and loved ones may also find relief and benefit with The Stick. And so you know, we have certain models of The Stick that are ideal for storing and carrying in packs with other gear.

One way we like to thank all who serve is by offering FREE SHIPPING to All Active Military. So when ordering, please be sure to let us know that The Stick is for one of our American heroes, an active soldier.

Our sincerest appreciation and thanks go out to all our heroes.
