To help prevent tissue knots and spasms, and help keep your muscles energized for your next round of golf, massage the muscles you used most (calf, hamstring, quad, lower back, forearm, etc) after you work out or as you come off the 18th green. (The massage stick, a versatile tool that fits easily in your golf bag, makes massaging your muscles quick and easy.)

MASSAGE STICK: CALF: 50 SEC
