Muscleglide™ Wooden Recovery Stick
Muscleglide™ Wooden Recovery Stick
The Step Balance MuscleGlide™ is a professional-grade massage stick designed to deliver deep tissue relief, break up muscle knots, and accelerate recovery for athletes and active individuals.
Featuring 9 independently-rotating gear-cut wooden rings that glide smoothly over your muscles, this tool provides the benefits of professional massage therapy anywhere, anytime.
The 40cm length and dual ergonomic handles give you complete control over pressure and positioning, allowing you to effectively target your legs, arms, back, shoulders, and any area experiencing tightness or soreness. The rings rotate independently to conform to your body's contours while delivering consistent pressure across the muscle.

Step Balance
Engineered for Deep Tissue Precision
Handcrafted from premium beech wood with a steel axle core, the MuscleGlide ensures silent, smooth rotation and long-lasting durability. The PU (polyurethane) handles provide comfortable grip during extended massage sessions.
Perfect for pre-workout muscle activation, post-workout recovery, breaking up scar tissue, relieving DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness), and managing chronic muscle tension. Used by runners, cyclists, crossfitters, and professional sports teams worldwide.
The lightweight yet durable construction makes it portable enough for your gym bag, travel, or office while providing the firmness needed for effective deep tissue work. Unlike foam rollers, the MuscleGlide lets you target specific muscles with precision while maintaining complete control over pressure.

How to use
Basic Technique:
- Hold both handles firmly with a comfortable grip

Muscle-Specific Techniques:
Legs (Quads, Hamstrings, Calves):

- Use short, focused strokes for trigger points
IT Band:
- Lie on your side or stand against a wall

Arms and Shoulders:

Pro Tips:

- Maximum 15 strokes per muscle group
Care & Safety
