The Original Stick-The Intruder

When recovery demands precision, The Original Stick – The Intruder delivers.

Built for targeted trigger point therapy, The Intruder is a compact recovery tool designed to apply deep, controlled pressure exactly where you need it most. At just 5.5 inches long, it fits easily into gym bags, travel kits, or desk drawers, making it ideal for athletes, professionals, and anyone dealing with chronic tight spots.

The single 1.75-inch free-rolling wheel allows you to maintain constant pressure while moving through problem areas. This rolling action helps locate and release trigger points more effectively than static tools, supporting better tissue quality and long-term movement health.

The Intruder excels where larger tools cannot. It is especially effective for plantar fascia pain caused by long hours on your feet, wrist and forearm tension from repetitive work, and jaw or temple tightness linked to TMJ discomfort. Whether used on its own or paired with a full-size massage stick, it helps you stay consistent with recovery.

Who Should Use

• Individuals with specific trigger points or muscle knots
  
• Those suffering from tendinitis and repetitive strain disorders
  
• Travelers needing the most compact solution possible

Targeted Muscles

Plantar Fascia: The single rolling wheel provides precise, deep pressure perfect for targeting the plantar fascia along the bottom of the foot, releasing tension that causes plantar fasciitis and foot pain common in runners and those who stand for long periods.

Carpal Tunnel Area: Its compact design allows for pinpoint pressure application to the wrist and forearm flexors, providing relief for those experiencing carpal tunnel symptoms or repetitive strain from computer use or manual labor.

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ): The Intruder's precision targeting makes it uniquely effective for gently addressing tension around the jaw and temple area, helping alleviate TMJ discomfort and tension headaches from jaw clenching or grinding.

FAQs

Q: How is The Intruder different from just using a tennis ball for trigger points?
A: The Intruder features a precision-engineered 1.75" wheel that rolls freely, allowing you to maintain constant pressure while moving across trigger points. Unlike a static tennis ball, the rolling action helps identify and penetrate trigger points more effectively, particularly for conditions like plantar fasciitis or carpal tunnel syndrome.

Q: Can The Intruder replace a full-size massage stick?
A: The Intruder is designed as a complementary tool for precise trigger point work, not a replacement for full muscle group coverage. Many customers pair it with a larger stick - using The Intruder for specific knots and trigger points, then a full-size stick for overall muscle maintenance.

Q: Is The Intruder TSA-approved for carry-on luggage?
A: Yes! At just 5.5" long, The Intruder is our most travel-friendly option and has no issues with TSA. It's perfect for travelers who need ultra-portable relief for tension headaches, repetitive strain injuries, or specific trigger points during long flights or business trips.
