The Story About The Stick™
Invented in 1989 by American chiropractor Dr. Pat Belcher, The Stick™ is the original handheld massage and myofascial release tool designed to aid muscle recovery, relieve pain, and improve mobility. Dr. Belcher founded Relaxacizor Products Inc. (RPI)—later known as RPI of Atlanta—to produce and distribute this groundbreaking device.
First released in 1991, The Stick™ quickly became a staple in the health, fitness, and sports therapy worlds. Trusted by elite athletes, weekend warriors, and healthcare professionals alike, it has been used for over 30 years to improve circulation, target trigger points, and assist with injury prevention and rehabilitation.
Made with a flexible core and independently rotating spindles, The Stick™ allows users to easily perform deep tissue massage and myofascial compression, even on hard-to-reach muscle groups.
Though Dr. Belcher passed away in 2016 and RPI closed in 2023, the original production team has preserved his legacy by continuing to manufacture the product under the name The Original Stick™. Still made with the same high-quality materials and craftsmanship, it remains unmatched in both design and effectiveness.
Today, The Stick™ is proudly available in Australia—bringing its proven benefits to a new generation of active individuals and professionals. Each Stick is dispatched from Bundoora VIC.
