Ok, so I laughed the first time a paddling buddy showed me a Theracane. But after the third day of paddling, I secretly tried the Theracane, came home and declared I wanted one for my birthday. Since then it has become an integral part of any paddling trip. During paddling and ski season I use it daily to loosen up my shoulders.

So yes, you can expect to get snickers from your friends too... until they try it, then good luck getting it back from them.

"I travel with my Theracane because it is always available to work out my knots.

The only flaw with the theracane is that it will sink!"

"Have you had a long day of paddling and none of your boating buddies are willing to give you that well earned massage? Just grab your Theracane and start pickin' and a grinnin' like I do".

"The Theracane arrived last Thursday, and I honestly don't know how I've lived so long without it. After 30 years of playing Rugby in the front row, my neck and shoulders have suffered incredible abuse. I've spent a small fortune on physiotherapy and chiropractors over the years, and can honestly say that I don't think I'll be needing their services any longer." I saw you using the Theracane when we stayed at Louie's on my first ALF (Ain't Louiefest) and didn't fully appreciate the usefulness of this tool."
