While I was away at the ASAP conference this year my husband bought The Stick at a local running store thinking it'd be helpful for my muscle pain and stiffness. You use this to massage various parts of your body or have someone massage you with it. It's very good for your neck, back, and lower body. Allen has mentioned that some of the positions they say to use for self-massage are very difficult for him due to flexibility but us EDS'ers won't have any problem with that for example trying to massage his own shoulders causes him more pain than it relieves.
Last night when I was unable to fall asleep due to neck pain I used The Stick for a bit on the floor and it relieved enough pain that I was able to sleep.
The webpage below has a few details on how The Stick can help those with Fibromyalgia and trigger points:

I'd recommend this for anyone suffering from muscle soreness as it's very easy to use and it's easy to travel with.
