OK. So on a club run last night i mentioned to somebody that I thought i had the beginnings of shin splints. He recommended seeing a physio in the first instance. then also suggested that i could use a rolling pin to massage my calves as a lot of shin issues were related to calf problems. Well i tried it last anyway but is he mad?

mmm.... possibly... the separate spindles on the stick make it easier to direct and target certain bits and angles?  Not sure dough roller would be quite the same but I might try it out on TT's hamstrings....

Good for ITB as well

not as directional but same logic

and if it doesnt work you can beat him with it,  tell him I said so.

Welsh Alex lend me his when I was injured and oh my word did it make a difference!!  A lot of the Welshies got theirs at the FLM expo.  I ordered one from the US (which was still cheaper than than the only UK distributor) and I wouldn't want to be without it now.

LOL...    Yes I'm sure I can think of something that deserves a beating!!  But he'll probably enjoy it!

surely the seperate spindles have gaps which would rip all your leg hair out Nam?

My husband is always rolling around on a rolling pin. Rolls his back and his hips - works for him!

Cheers guys and gals. Lots of useful advice. i gave it a go and felt much better the next day so maybe there's something in it?

The Stick and other rollers whether foam or a rolling pin will do the trick as they replicate a massage technique. I'm using a foam one for my ITBS.

A jolly bright orange colour, my roller looks like an innocuous toy that wouldn't be out of place in a kiddies' soft play area. This belies it's real purpose because it unleashes evil on my poor iliotibial band and has me practically weeping on the floor
