The ProStretch Type A+ stick massage roller is the perfect trigger point muscle massage tool to help relieve signs of IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, hamstring strains, shin splints, lower back tightness, and glute pain. It’s great to treat your tired and sore muscles. A gentler take on the standard roller, the Type A+ massage roller is the perfect tool for those looking for a softer massage experience. The Type A+ works great for both upper and lower extremities and features Skin Surface Technology (SST). SST allows the massage gears to accurately connect with skin and fascia, which helps with muscle rehydration and the elimination of knots.
