The TriggerPoint GRID STK Handheld Foam Roller is a handheld massage roller from TriggerPoint, makers of the revolutionary GRID foam rollers. The STK incorporates a variable surface design similar to the TriggerPoint GRID foam rollers. The TriggerPoint STK also features innovative AcuGRIP handles, which, much like a massage therapist’s thumb, are uniquely designed to target specific areas and provide relief to the deep tissue. The STK can be used either seated or standing to roll through tight muscles and knots in soft tissue that can restrict movement and mobility. The TriggerPoint GRID STK Handheld Foam Roller is available in two densities, regular and extra firm, the STK and STK X. Both handheld massage rollers provide portable, on-the-go relief from muscular aches and pains. One year manufacturer warranty. 21 x 2.5 x 2.5 inches; Weight 1 lb.

Customers say
Customers find the foam roller effective for muscle relaxation, particularly for sore muscles, and appreciate its quality, comparing it favorably to physical therapy. The product is well-constructed, with one customer noting it works well on all body parts, and customers find it easy to use, especially while sitting. They like its portability, being small enough for travel. The firmness and rollability receive mixed feedback – while some find it comfortable to grip, others say it’s too firm, and while some find it perfect for rolling muscles, others mention it doesn’t roll smoothly.

Great quality, target calves muscles, TriggerPoint STK Contour Flexible
I used to run and have had a problem with my calves muscles (esp. anterior tibialis) for years. The muscles get very tight and hard, and I read that it’s due to muscle weakness and overuse. I noticed certain areas are sore as soon as I started rolling. Iâve been using this in addition to [TriggerPoint GRID Foam Roller Original (13-inch)] on my calves about 3-5 times a week, and I’ve already noticed an improvement in my symptoms after about a month.I tried the Performance GRID STK Handheld Foam Roller Regular Density (since doesn’t roll smoothly, hard to exert pressure and roll at the same time) and the travel edition (the pointy massage roller poke uncomfortably), but for my calves, this was the best. It rolls smoothly. The rollers are made of foam that doesn’t have much give (it’s much harder than the GRID roller foam). The design makes it easy to get the muscle area right next to the shin bone without rolling over the bone. The roller does bend a little bit, but not a lot, which is good because you can exert as much pressure as you’d like.I’ve also used on other muscle groups (upper legs, forearms). The shoulder is a bit tricky, but when you are able to stabilize the roller, it works very well (just be careful as the handle can leave a black mark on the wall).

Great product
This product has been a game changer for me. It is easy to use and very well made. I use my foam roller much less frequently. I use it extensively on my quads, hamstrings, and my calves.

Almost as good as your PT!
I bought this Trigger Point Massage Stick after having used the one at my PT for 2 years after 2 knee replacement surgeries. Now that I’m near graduating from ongoing PT, time to get the equipment that helped my recovery most for my home gym. Before I used this stick, I used a swivel roller stick to rub out adhesions from my muscles and other soft tissues. That product, which I still own and use, is complementary to this stick. The main reasons why: 1) It’s much easier to grip this stick to stop the rolling motion which adds to the “pulling” of your tissues to aid stretching, 2) the knobby protrusions really do feel like your PT’s fingers, 3) the handle offers another way to dig into your tissues. Overall, it’s the application of friction on your skin and tissues that has a totally different impact to your recovery. The stick, at 21″, is a little too big for air travel or most carry on bags. And since I have used it during this crazy COVID time, the materials have tolerated continuous and repeated exposure to industrial strength sanitizers. The rubbers and plastic have not suffered in the least. I love this stick and highly recommend it.

Pretty nice, very durable.
Very useful for rubbing out those muscle knots and kinks in those hard to reach areas. I’ve used it on my calves, thighs, and neck, and it works well. It’s not as hard as another stick I have, which I like. Also, unlike that same other stick, it has held up without breaking.The only thing I don’t like is the shape of the rubbing surface. I prefer the smoother round surface. The ‘knobs’ on this kind of hurt my delicate muscles. Maybe I’m just a baby, but that’s my preference.

Good at working out sore legs
My wife bought this to work out tightness in her calves and thighs. She moans and groans, but said it has given her relief.

Really loosens stiff muscles!
I purchased this device as a self-massage and myofascial release for calf pain from running. Like all other TriggerPoint products, it is well constructed from excellent foam and plastic. If I have a single complaint, the rubber on the handles is a tiny bit rough on the hands, but this is definitely not a deal breaker.I chose this over their other styles (such as the grid roller) because it can be used while seated in a chair. I find this much more convenient than pulling out a mat to roll around on.Within one use, I can already feel stiff muscles springing back to life. I’m already contemplating buying a second one to keep in the office.I highly recommend watching the training videos on the company’s website, they are informative and helpful. I just wish there were more of them with more scientific info in addition.

Hope you don’t have hair…
I really wanted to like this roller. I bought two different rollers, this one is by far the best constructed. In fact I surely thought I’d prefer this stick but I’ve found it only mildly useful. If you have ANY body hair, it’ll find it and it’ll pull like crazy. I’m a guy so yeah, I have hair on my legs.I needed it for hamstring work for baseball and hockey but I find this massage stick almost useless unless I’m wearing some tight-fitting clothing. Even then it’ll often tangle with my compression shorts, tights or sliding shorts when you really try to dig in to loosen the muscles. I’ve tried every angle and then some so I can sometimes get it to work well enough but to me it’s ineffective.I’ll sometimes tolerate the pain since I like the handle design of this one much better, but if I have both sticks available, the other roller will get the nod. The other roller (similar to the PROCIRCLE Massage Stick) has little individual hard plastic roller pieces that can move independently and are MUCH better for areas of the body that have hair. Nor does it tangle with clothing — for me, I prefer the other stick.

The product does little to release muscle tension unlike a foam roller. The rubber is quiet stiff and can cause more muscle stiffness if more pressure is applied.

Voici un un excellent article que je recommande chaleureusement.Je fais du sport entre 4 et 7h/semaine, essentiellement du Crossfit, de la musculation ou du cardio.Après une bonne séance de musculation (ou de Crossfit), il n’est pas recommandé de s’étirer puisque les fibres musculaires ont déjà été sollicitées et connaissent des micro-lésions. Il faut donc faire des assouplissements tout en douceur et ce rouleau y contribue.Il sert à masser et détendre les muscles : il les décontracte vraiment bien. Il est solide et tient bien en main. Sa poignée peut servir pour des points de compression.Personnellement, je l’utilise beaucoup pour les cuisses (particulièrement les mollets et les tendons d’Achille, pour stimuler la vascularisation; ainsi que les ischios) et, par moment, pour le haut du dos. Mais pour la partie du dos, j’ai acheté le rouleau plus gros que j’utilise au sol et qui convient mieux, je trouve.Voici donc un bon investissement si vous pratiquez le sport régulièrement de manière assez intense.J’espère que ces quelques lignes vous seront utiles.

Devo dire che è davvero il migliore. Comprato per staccare delle aderenze che avevo in una gamba. Usato regolarmente prima e dopo l’attività fisica, dopo un bel massaggio rivascolarizzante, ha prodotto buonissimi risultati. à fatto con una gomma dura ma è un pezzo unico. In modo che non pizzichi la pelle o possa tirare i peli nelle gambe degli uomini. Consigliatissimo. Veramente utile.
