ETA: I just got one of these, because the trigger points in my calves are so deep and so firmly established. The Stick and foam rollers were just too flexible to do them any good, and I couldn't into the high trigger points close to my knee, using the opposite kneecap. I suppose a narrow pastry rolling pin would do just as well. Or maybe a golf ball and body weight on bare floor, although that could be hard to control.
Oakleaf, your post convinced me to buy a foam roller (only self-massage thingy I could find locally). Holy cow, it's amazing! I found knots in my legs and IT band that I didn't know existed.

Thanks for the suggestion
