22 Tiger Tail Rolling Muscle Massager
The Tiger Tail 22″ Rolling Muscle Massager helps emulate the feeling and density of human thumbs and hands, while gliding smoothly over bare skin or clothing to relieve muscle aches, cramping, spasms and stiffness. The innovative and patented massage foam surface instantly adjusts to skin temperature, never cold to the touch. A durable, non-absorbent foam won’t deteriorate like most foam. The non-slip grips are great for increased comfort and reduced hand fatigue. Ideal for individual or partner use, this rolling foam massager is recommended by doctors, physical therapist, massage therapists, sports trainers, and professional athletes. 22″ bar is a perfect for larger people and for trying to reach back and neck areas thanks to the wider grip.
User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Great product.
I just received this and it was exactly as I was hoping. Some other rolling massagers are too flimsy, making it tough to get deep into some of the areas that you need (calves for example). But this is firm enough so it won’t bend around the problem area. You may also use the ends like a thumb and massage the neck or other trigger points as well. Good product.
5 Stars Can’t live without my tiger tail!
I workout a lot, and am sore a lot especially after running. It was so painfull the first time I rolled the tiger tail over my calves I could hardly walk. But it sure worked out many kinks,I have been able to run without pain. Nowwhen I roll my calves I have no pain. It is great! Feels wonderful on my back, hamstrings, and quads.I highly recomend this product for releif of sore muscles. It REALLY works.
4 Stars tiger rolling massager
great for sore muscles or to reduce scar tissue after surgery, but sometimes need a second person to help with certain areas of the body to get the full use of it.
4 Stars Client loves it
I have the Original Stick and I love it. I bought this for my client as a gift. He loves it as well.
He is a runner and suffers from hamstring tightness and calf cramps. This adds relief from the pain.
The reason I chose this for him was a practical one. He has hairy legs and the hair would not get in the rollers unlike the Original Stick. This is solid foam.
5 Stars Wonderful Tool!
I bought “The Stick” as an impulse buy at a sporting goods store to massage the muscles in my legs. Plastic rings roll independently over a stiff pole making it a very hard surface. I had to use care to avoid coming close to my shins or any other bony areas. It’s not a very pleasant-feeling tool and the little plastic rings rattle as you run up and down your muscles. It feels like rolling a metal pipe up and down your legs (although it’s plastic).
I decided to check out Amazon - which I should have done before buying anything to begin with -and discovered the 22″ Tiger Tail Rolling foam massager and I prefer it, hands down. It’s pretty much a very hard, foam rolling pin and feels like it gets deeper into my muscles than the plastic rings of The Stick which ride without resistance over the surface of my skin. The foam has just enough give to prevent bruising if I inadvertently run into a bone. This means I’m able to massage a greater surface area with less caution and my muscles feel much better after using the Tiger Tail over The Stick. I feel like I can use the Tiger Tail with much greater pressure and work more deeply than with The Stick.
The only downside is the Tiger Tail is 22 3/8″ long with a 14″ rolling foam work surface whereas The Stick is 24″ long with a 16 1/2″ work surface. This makes working on the back or other areas where length is a plus easier with The Stick. (Diameter is 4.5″ for the Tiger Tail, 3.5″ for The Stick) But for me, the Tiger Tail makes my muscles feel deeply well-kneaded and vibrant whereas The Stick makes them almost feel injured and my skin sensitive.
Oh - and The Tiger Tail is much cheaper than The Stick. That’s just hard to figure out.
