"I like this better than my foam roller...it's portable, which means I can use it anywhere. Like after a run at the park and when I travel. I can even take it to work!" —

“My patients that are recreational and competitive athletes are sold on the benefits of immediate post-workout use of the Tiger Tail...and as an amateur triathlete - so am I! The Tiger Tail gives patients an opportunity to have some control over pain. Patients often have a hard time grading the force needed for self-treatment with trigger points. They push too hard and cause more soreness in many cases. The Tiger Tail is easier and a more effective self-treatment…” —

General Tips for Use:
- Designed for use on skin or one layer of clothing.
- The Tiger Tail is very durable and strong, and will not break under proper use.
- Relax muscles as you roll. Roll your muscles as deep as you feel comfortable, remembering that you don't have to hurting your muscles to help your muscles.
- The Tiger Tail is most effective when used throughout the course of activity: before, during and after.
- Muscle soreness may occur when the Tiger Tail is used excessively.
General Instructions:
- It typically takes 10-20 rolls over the muscle to warm up healthy muscle tissue. This equates to working each muscle area for about 10-20 seconds. To be most effective, it works best to progressively press harder on the muscle area with each roll.
- Massage therapists refer to tender bumps or knots in the muscle as "trigger points." The presence of trigger points often indicate weak, stiff and sore muscles which can hinder athletic performance because they easily tire and often hurt.
- When the Tiger Tail passes over a "trigger point" discomfort or pain may be experienced; however, most people find this feeling to feel good - especially when the Tiger Tail assists the muscle in releasing the "cramp".
- Chronic trigger points often need additional attention. Slowly and gradually work the Tiger Tail deeper into the muscle to work out the trigger point. Using the Tiger Tail several times daily may be necessary. Over the course of time, trigger points should lessen in severity.
- Before beginning any type of therapy or treatment, seek the advice of a physician.
