Adidas Supernova Sequence

Ghisallo Running is proud to introduce the new Supernova Sequence. Replacing the Supernova Control, the Sequence is lighter and has a slightly lower more stable heel-forefoot than its predecessor. It provides optimal comfort and performance for all runners with the combination of a superior fit and an updated ForMotion™ heel unit to create an experience that’s one step ahead.

“The Supernova running range embraces technology. The quality fit, great feel and higher performance of the new Supernova Sequence means runners can take their passion to the next level,” said Adrian Leek VP adidas Running.

The dynamic ForMotion™ heel unit adjusts to your individual footstrike which in turn takes the pressure off your knees, providing you with a smoother more comfortable run. Another established adidas technology TORSION™ has also been revamped to allow greater heel and forefoot freedom, while still providing exceptional mid-foot integrity in the Supernova Sequence for a more confident and successful run whatever the distance. The Sequence retails for $95.

Tired Muscles? Try The Stick

What is The Stick?
The Stick is a revolutionary device used to segmentally compress and stretch muscle. It is highly effective in the treatment of muscle pain and trigger points.
The Stick provides the following benefits:Prevent & Predict Muscle InjuriesDramatically improve strength, flexibility and enduranceRapidly prepare muscles for physical activityDisperse the effects of lactic acid following activityAccelerate muscle recovery
What is the Stick Made of, how long will it last?Stick products are made of a space-age plastic that allow necessary flexibility of the tool and provide maximum compression of the muscles (the Stick contains no rubber or wood). The center rod of the Stick is surrounded by spindles which roll independently over the muscle. The handles provide maximum comfort in the grip. The Stick comes with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee, and a 1 year manufacturer's warranty against defects. With proper use, The Stick should last a lifetime.
Medical Talk: The Stick converts non-compliant muscle to compliant muscle by performing what Dr. Travell calls stripping massage. In fact, this noted medical physician relates that, "deep stripping massage of the tender spot in the muscle was generally the treatment of choice for muscular rheumatism (myofascial trigger points) long before the turn of this century, and for fibrositis afterwards." The Stick allows people to self-perform general as well as segmental therapeutic procedures with a high degree of precision. These procedures remove the barriers to peak physical performance. It is the unassisted rolling, stretching, twisting and compressing of the muscle that diffuses barrier trigger points and converts non-compliant muscle to compliant muscle.
