The marathon stick is a muscle massage tool that is based upon Intracell Technology. Intracell technology is founded on solid, scientific evidence in muscle physiology.

Intracell Technology locates and extinguishes latent trigger points wiht the same ease as active trigger points. This is accomplished by gently rolling the smooth, center-balanced segments of the marathon stick back and forth over the entire length of the tender, shortened muscle bundle. This easy to perform procedure rapidly calms the reflex mechanism, relaxing the muscle bundle. The resultant myofascial release encourages good circulation, increases range of motion and relieves pain. Trigger points can be temporarily extinguished in about 30 seconds.

The Physiology Behind Intracell Technology and the Marathon Stick:

• The marathon stick simultaneously compresses & stretches muscle. This activity increases assimilation of oxygen-laden and nutrient-rich blood
• A typical warm-up or cool-down of healthy muscle requires about 20 progressively deeper passes
• Trigger points are contracted bundles of muscle. They restrict blood flow. There are no trigger points in healthy muscles.
• Muscles containing trigger points are weak, stiff and tender. They feel tight, fatigue quickly and often hurt.
• Intracell technology and the marathon stick locates and extinguishes latent trigger points with the same ease as active trigger points. The resultant myofascial release encourages good circulation, increases range of motion and relieves pain. Muscle memory is restored.
• The Stick is used as a training tool by athletes at the United States Olympic Training Centers in Colorado Springs CO, Lake Placid NY, Marquette MI and Chula Vista CA.
• THE MARATHON STICK IS A MUST FOR ALL RUNNERS. USE OF THE MARATHON STICK WILL IMPROVE YOUR RANGE OF MOTION, DECREASE STIFFNESS, DECREASE PAIN, SPEED RECOVERY AND IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE
