It's a simple, marvelous little gizmo that can bring amazingly quick relief for back pain that you can use yourself. It's also very good for using on other people. The PharMeDoc brand massage stick is higher quality than some of the massage sticks sold on here (we've tried several), and much less prone to pull hairs on bare skin. We've also found, to our surprise, that we prefer the shorter sticks over the longer ones, and larger diameter rollers over the smaller ones, if that is of help to anyone.
Just what I was looking for -- the roller is sturdy and doesn't bend, and the hand grips don't slip. The individual rollers spin freely, and I've had no troubles with them getting bound up rolling across smooth fabric (though I don't use it much that way).
The only caution I can give is, if you haven't done much muscle rolling, be careful at first. It can 'hurt so good' you'll find you've overdone it, and you'll be feeling it for the next few days!
I'm in physical therapy for my knee (torn miniscus) and my physical therapist recommended I use a roller on my leg. He recommended a foam roller, but I bought this one. When I brought it in, both he and his assistant really liked it and even offered to trade me this one for one of theirs (haha). It's nice because you don't need to use as much pressure as with a foam roller and the individual rollers work great.
Was delivered just like in the picture. Works as advertised. I've only had it a few days but it seems durable.
But yes this stick does have a strong odor. Strong enough that you will smell it on your hands after you use it. Hopefully the smell will dissipate. One star was lost for the odor.
I finally found something that my husband loves and uses. He has awful back problems and a lot of the times uses a baseball ⚾️ or chiropractor or my elbows 😖 I have tried finding anything and everything to help him and this is the first time he actually said something worked. And he's able to do it by himself 😉

I got this looking for a foam roller to help with post workout soreness. While this isn't foam it does the trick. It is a little rough on the shoulder blades or other bones because it is plastic, but it is effective.
The shipping was extremely fast, reached another continent in a few days. I have tried to use it on my lower back as well as my calves, it relaxed them really well. However, the rollers do not seem to be too free and significant pressure has to be applied to make them roll and work.
Should I use WD-40 on the rollers, in case the movement appears to be rough?
Similar items (with the same color) are available in market, and the difference seems to be the printed name only.
Some individual rollers glide rather than roll over certain clothing material. But overall, great product. My physical therapist recommended a product like this for a tight IT band until the pain decreased and I could do foam rolling.
PharMeDoc Muscle Roller Massage Stick is a must have device to iron out tense muscles and for use in mediating low-back pain. Perfect therapeutic device for use at home or for travel. 18" approximate length is optimal size for personal use ... A+
Love it! It goes where I go. Small enough to fit into my gym bag, and it works wonderfully. Price is spot on as well. I use this always during and after track workout. Love it.
