hey everybody it's doctor Jo, and today I'm going to show you how to relieve
muscle soreness and knots with a Doeplex muscle roller stick. so let's get started.
the folks at Doeplex sent me their muscle
roller stick, and I'm gonna get started showing you how to use it. so one of my
favorite things to roll out is the quad muscle. the reason I like using a stick
sometimes more than just a general foam roller is because you have the ability
to move it around a little bit more. so as you can see when you can grip on to
the handles here, and their's is really nice because it's got this nice grip
right here, so you can hold on pretty firmly. you can move it from side to side
where if you were on a foam roller you'd have to kind of lie on it and kind of
move your whole body, but this allows you just to kind of relax your leg and start
rolling it out. so I'm rolling my quads here, I can move it over to the IT band
and the TFL the tensor fasciae latae, and then I can even come around and then
go underneath and get my hamstrings. and what again you can see right here I'll
come back over to the IT band so you can see it a little bit better, is the
rollers here have these little knots or knobs they kind of really get deep into
that tissue. and this is really nice because I could I can feel that it's
working. it's a firm roller stick instead of a real bendy one so you can get a lot
more pressure, and I really like that. some of them when you're rolling things
out feel a little bit plasticky or not quite as quality, but this one is really
firm. it's solid even these knobs and these rollers on here feel like they're
gonna last a really long time. you can even come down to your shin area that
anterior tibialis or if you have shin splints this works really well, and again
the reason I really like the roller sticks versus something else is if let's
say my shins are really tender and sensitive, I can put just a little bit of
pressure on it to start off with. so this gives me the ability to put as much
pressure as I want to. if you're on something and using your body weight
sometimes it's a little harder to adjust like this. I'm just maybe starting off to
get those muscles loosened up a little bit going very very light rolling over,
but you can see how it's nice because it gets you know these
are the ones that are rolling on it's not like everything's rolling together
they're independently rolling to really get into that
that muscle nice and deep. you can even come on the back part and get your calf
muscles and this one again is really nice and you can even kind of push up
this way if you want to get a little bit more pressure. so again just kind of nice
to have the ability to do all the pressure that you want. and then you can
even come down let's say you have you know maybe some plantar fasciitis and so
you can roll it this way on your foot which is really nice. you could probably
even just roll the whole thing if you don't have a lot of flexibility to get
there, you could just put it on the ground maybe if you're at your desk at
work and just kind of roll your foot over. so it's kind of versatile and the
fact that it works that way. it's also really great because you can you know
come up and get your neck area too. a lot of times with the neck you probably
wouldn't have to hold on with both because you know even just right there,
and I don't really have knots in my neck right now, that's getting a really nice
amount of pressure right there. but if you want it a little bit more you could
kind of put it up and back like this grabbing on and kind of get that
mid-back area over the scapula or the shoulder blade. and so getting some
movement there. you know even if you had something like tennis elbow on the side,
again you can just use one hand and since it's a smaller area that's getting
a lot of work right there would just be pushing through there, and you can kind
of go into the forearm get those muscles through there as well. and so you can see
that this pretty much can work any part of your body, and it's just really nice
because of the quality of the Doeplex stick. and again just you can hold
it in two different ways to put different pressures on the muscles. so if
you've got those sore muscles, if you've got those knots, it's really gonna work
it out. a lot of times people will have you know specific knots on their IT band,
and so you could really just stay in one spot and focus on if it was right there
you know I'm just focusing on it right there where sometimes some other
products you might not be able to just get into that specific spot and
work on it. and so with it having the ability to smoothly roll over it. so you
can see that these spin very nicely and again some of the roller sticks that
I've used in the past and clinics and stuff don't quite have that smoothness
where they just you know move very freely and that allows to get that
smooth rolling motion that's really going to help get those knots out, give
that muscle soreness out. you can you know we can go even lower into the back
and you can even have somebody else roll it out for you as well. but again the
great part of this is you can really do all of this stuff for yourself. so again
you know I really like it it's got these you know nice grips. so again you're not
sliding your hands around it feels really good and sturdy. you know I can't
bend it so it's nice and firm and these knobs do a really good job of kind of
getting into those muscles and working them out. so really from you know neck
all the way down to your foot you can roll out just about anything. so if
