Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Roller Massager:

For the ninety-nine percent of us who can't afford a personal masseuse and have to DIY, this is a convenient way to massage sore or stiff muscles on legs, arms, neck and back. It comes with a nice pamphlet of instructions. The rollers slide so you can adjust them to be either apart or together. Easy to carry with you to use either before or after you exercise. I tried one of those orange foam rollers, but it didn't work out well in a parking lot! The one with plastic rollers reminded me of a kids toy. It may not be perfect, or the choice of elite athletes, but I find it very helpful and worth the money.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Roller Massager:

This is awesome to use after runs! It has really helped to prevent my calves and hamstrings from tightening up and I am not so sore the next day. I have tried other types of these products, but I like that the Pro-Tec roller masasger does not bend, it seems to allow for a deeper massage. Some of their other products have helped me through several running injuries, they are worth checking out!

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Roller Massager:

I am an avid runner and so is my boyfriend. I have the "travel stick" as well as the Protec massage roller. I actually prefer the protec roller better because it is sturdier. The stick bends if you put too much pressure and gets old easily in my opinion. I have to say that this massage roller works much better when someone else rolls you with it. When I use it on my own it is ok but when my boyfriend massage rolls me with it, it is great. We are both runners and when we don't use this we notice a huge difference. Our muscles are sore and tight and it takes longer to recover. I was surprised to see negative reviews because it has been great for us.

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Roller Massager:

The Roller Massager is just one of the products that I use by Pro-Tec Athletics and it works great! I've used it before and after all my training and several marathons and it's really improved my flexibility and reduced tightness and soreness.

I've also used their IT band wraps and they helped me get through a half-marathon when I literally couldn't run at all a few days before. Great product, great company!

Comments about Pro-Tec Athletics Roller Massager:

I thought that REI buyers were supposed to test as many products as they could in a category and then choose to carry the best peforming products for the best price. Unfortunately for REI customers, REI buyers failed at their jobs. There are definitely better hand-held "massage rollers" out there including The Stick and the Tiger Tail. Do yourself a favor and buy the best somewhere else.
