Tiger Tail The Classic 18"- AW19

I bought the Tiger Tail as an alternative to The Stick after reading reviews off Amazon to use with The Trigger Point Therapy Book. You receive a little leaflet with the Tiger Tail showing you how to roll the Tiger tail over the different kinds of muscles groups.What I like:1) Light and compact, can be taking with you on the go2) Easy to use on certain muscles groups3) Effective in treating calves, hamstrings, quadriceps and IT band4) 'Thumbs Tools' featured on each end of the Tiger Tail. Offers the firmness and density of a human thumb5) Can use it while sitting down watching T.VWhat I don't like:1) To use it on other parts of you body e.g. back, shoulders glutes etc require more pressure or even a partner. You can not apply that pressure with the Tiger Tail.2) Need a partner to use the 'thumb tools' effectivelyI like the Tiger Tail. It think it is a great product when used in conjunction with my other trigger point pieces of equipment. Would recommend.

Bought this to roller off my shins as recommended by the physio I use. I do a lot of running and circuit training and recently found the flexibility in my ankle was deteriorating. My physio recommended this roller and to roller off my shins which would make a difference. He was right; as soon as i used this, what a difference but it was painful. I know use this roller 2-3 times a week. Its well made, robust and comfortable with the sponge around the roller part. Would definitely recommend.

This is a great little roller. My personal trainer recommended this for my tight IT band and quads.It’s very easy to use. It’s not as effective as the floor foam roller but is an quick and easy way of reliving tight muscles after exercise.I didn’t find it as easy to use on my hamstrings and glutes as it’s difficult to apply the pressure needed.However it’s a useful bit of kit when used with other methods.

I have had two of these and both exihbit a "bump" as the roller rotates. This means that with every revolution of the roller you can feel a bump and hear a click. Distracting? Yes. Does it affect use? Probably not unless the regular bump or bounce of the foam roller annoys. It appears that plastic tube chosen for the outer roller is of poor quality with uneven points resulting in the feel and noise.I hoped to buy a 22" TigerTail but will not given the issues experienced.None of other rollers I have tried have this issue.However the customer support from Tigertail is outstanding, thank you.

Product is good, but be careful it's very powerful. You don't need much effort to get deep into the muscles and ouch, they hurt. But that's the point. I've had specialist trigger point massages before, even dry-needling (which is reserved only for the masochists amongst you) and this does nearly as good a job. I have only just started using it and suspect that it will take a few days before my muscles smooth out. But very happy with the purchase.

If you have tight muscles, this is a Godsend. A co-worker suggested I buy the Tiger Tail and I use it all the time for my problem calves, especially after workouts. It seems my muscles don't recover as quickly as I get older and this muscle roller is very effective.

Excellent roller! It is very easy to use. It rolls smoothly without ever catching any hairs because of the surface. It is also reasonably hard , but with a balanced amount of give, that permits to make one's massage harder or softer at one's choice!

I do quite a bit of running and have tried all kinds of rollers and massage sticks in my day and this one is the best - hands down. It is very firm so it does the trick on tight or sore muscles. It saw me through my first marathon, saving me from painful shin splints. Thank you Tiger Tail!
