I find that testimonials from real people are one of the best ways to review and research a product. I have been doing a lot of reading about researching products and one of the best ways is to visit forums and blogs.
I found one about The Stick a few months back on the MapMyRun website. Some comments were:
- “My son has used one for a couple years. It was recommended by his physical therapist when he was recovering from a IT band injury during his junior year of cross-country. He bought his from http://www.thestick.com and still uses it, although he is no longer running. “
- “I have been very happy with this purchase. I had IT pain, and lots of tiredness/soreness on the anterior muscles of the lower leg while training for an ultra. It was a fantastic way to get the blood flowing in those areas and provide therapeutic massage. I cannot say for sure, but I feel that it helped me avoid injury during higher mileage weeks. “

“I purchased one several years ago on the advice of a personal trainer. I love it! It was definitely the best running investment I made. I had intense knee pain due to ITB tightness. When I use it after runs consistently, I never have a problem. Mine has lasted at least 5 years and has kept my ITB very happy. I recommend it to all runners, as it is relatively inexpensive and can be used for a variety of stretching and massaging moves. “
You can find all the testimonials- here -
I also have been creating a testimonials page on the Zealous Vitality Website. It is comprised of people who I know except for the professional sport testimonials. I don’t claim that I have spoken to people like:
Phil Jackson, Head Coach – LA Lakers
Bob Anderson, Author of Bestseller…Stretching
Norm Miller, Strength coach – Olympic Bobsled Team
