Muscle Glide

By now you’re used to us showing you funky fitness tools, but this one’s different. "I fully understand when someone looks at this they're going - what the heck is that?!?!" says inventor Bret Daves.

"It's one of those really silly stories,” he explains with a laugh. “Several years ago I was doing triathlons and I'm not a spring chicken anymore and I was having some leg issues." Bret tried everything ... yoga, massage, chiropractors ... nothing eased his pain. "I remembered when i used to rollerblade and some racers used to take the skate and roll it up and down their legs."

It was an "a-ha!" moment, that led to the creation he calls “Muscle Glide”. "As word got out, more and more people were asking me to make them one. I thought, well maybe there's something to this." First local universities ordered some. Then Scheels started stocking them. And Bret became bold. "I called the NFL,” he says with a grin, “about half the teams called back and ordered!" Before he knew it - a business was born!

Everyone who uses the Muscle Glide turns into a fan, and there’s real science behind it. "When you work out, your muscles actually get little tears,” explains Bret, “the theory is, if you take an implement and roll it over your muscles it helps break up that scar tissue in the muscle."

Most people don't care about the theory. It's the feeling that makes people fans of the Muscle Glide. You can use it on yourself - or convince a friend to give you a massage. Either way, this therapy tool will help ease those workout-related aches & pains.
