STICKON C-Shaped Gua Sha Scraping Massage Tool - Premium Stainless Steel IASTM For Soft Tissue Mobilization Review

So this was used at a physical therapy session I went to. If used properly, it can leave what appears to be like a bruise on the skin. But it helped with relaxing muscles in my neck and shoulders. Now I have one at home because I have a wife that can be taught how to use it in a similar fashion. Its like a message but more conctrated. It helped with pain relief in my neck and shoulders, but not so much with range of motion. To learn how to use this, I am sure a YouTube video on…

I like the inside curved edges, they are good for scanning small body parts (think wrists, forearms), but the long edges are not beveled, they are flat with 90 degree edges, so they are not useful for scraping. This was different than the edges on the Graston tool, so just be aware that you will not be able to use the long straight edges for IASTM. It's a great deal, but with limited usage.

Will write about shipping shortly. I have used Graston Tools and while this is not the same weight, shape or thickness, this is a very nice product and works great on the superficial facia layer. I am not sure why people are calling this aluminum. It weighs 5 oz/143 grams and is sturdy like stainless steel; however, there is no stamp identifying the material. Be aware of weird shipping messages. I purchased this because the software said I would get it the same day. It took 5 days to get here…

It is helping with my Achilles’ tendon pain. After self massaging my limping has almost gone away. Although decent weight was hoping for something heavier. Would buy again though.

Great price. Quality material. The bevel could be a bit more comfortable when working on the thumbs, fingers and hands. I am recommending this brand to many of my patients.

I really like the shape and weight of the curved tool. It's easy to hold, has a nice edge to it, and it's not super slippery in my hand. The thickness is pretty good for the price, so overall very happy with it for my scar tissue massage. I'd definitely purchase again.

Taught to use by physical therapist and continue to use this tool on my injured hand and fingers. It works good with a hand lotion lubricant.

My hand therapist suggested I get this product for continued therapy at home after my surgery. Works like the one she has in her office. Nice and solid. So glad I made this purchase!

Compared to Graston or Rock branded tools these are a steal price wise. I'm a Physical therapist assistant in a busy outpatient clinic and have used this on various body parts as well as scars with good results. I'd like a few more now.

Pretty similar to what you see out there nowadays. It works well in certain areas but in others its a bit too large. I dont regret buying because it gets the job done for a reasonable price.

I learned of this tool from my physical therapist. I've had a full hip replacement and suffer from many painful knots in the muscle, as well as painful scar tissue. This tool rolls out the knots very nicely which helps to relieve the pain. It also comes in a very nice protective pouch.

This tool was recommended by my PT. I use it to break up fibrotic tissue on my feet. It is easy to grip and doesn't slide out of my hand. It is well made and the perfect size for my average-sized, female hands.I think it is an amazing value for the money.

Doesn’t seem like something so simple could work so well. Surpassed my expectations for massaging sore muscles and tendons. Got it for sore feet but it works well on neck and back as well.

If you’re new to Graston, I want to really encourage you to take it easy with the pressure you exert while using this instrument. I went a little too gung-ho and now my whole leg is bruised ! Use light movement and don’t push it too hard. The instrument is a wonderful value, easy to use, and cleans easily with soap and hot water. I have used it in places all over the entire body, and it works very well. Highly recommend!

Anyone else bruise while using this? I had a stiff neck and did this this morning. Looks like I've been in a fight. Doesn't hurt. But it's weird! 😂

Took off a star because it’s kind of hard to hold. It’s pretty thin and there’s no texture to grip onto. It does work very well though. It’s heavy and sturdy.

Great product and does the trick for my daughters tight muscles. We know a therapist who has the hospital grade tool and this one seems to do stripping just as well! For way less money!

It arrived promptly and as pictured in the photo. It is a helpful tool to massage tight muscles. I'd recommend this product!

This is great for breaking up triggerpoints and scar tissue. Afterward I use ice for 20 minutes to reduce inflammation. I like to use just a little bit of lotion or oil when using this tool.

This is a great tool to help break up scar tissue, and relieve some of the chronic pain associated with it. Because it is thinner than the one that my chiropractor uses, it's important to take care to angle it properly, and stroke in only one direction, on the scar tissue. But it arrived on time, as promised, has a very smooth good surface, and is a great value for the money, and it is working great for me!
