Even though it is well known that elite athletes receive massage regularly, not everyone realizes how much they can benefit as well. The self massage tools are great for making treatment more accessible. Just like with training, frequency helps. I also think they help because they get you mobilizing and stretching your body in a variety of positions, particularly the foam roller. Nothing beats a professional sports massage therapist though. (Admittedly, I'm biased about that.) Jimson, it’s great to read about someone who appreciates the importance of massage for athletes.

I love these sticks on long flights, especially if you can't walk around. @B man – yes, daily use is great. I love these sticks on long flights, especially if you can’t walk around.

It is the next best thing to massage. I have used all the various types of foam rollers and the stick and there is no comarision. You might also want to check out the Trigger Point quadroller.

Self-massage is an excellent way to predict and prevent injuries on your own schedule. To answer the question from B-man.... you can self-massage as a warm-up, cool-down or recovery.
