In this video, Coach Cable discusses and demonstrates self-use techniques for the PainPill and Boomstick.
This new product was developed by our product engineers at Kabuki Strength in conjunction with World Famous Strength Coach, Donnie Thompson. The PainPill is an IASTM, or Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization tool and is best used individually or with a teammate to diffuse and break up muscle/adhesive tissue. This highly-anaerobic tool allows for myofascial release to be done in seconds instead of hours. A 44 pound high-grade steel tool; the PainPill is highly effective as a body-tempering roller for the smaller extremities.
"When it comes out of the box you can tell no stone was left unturned and every detail has a purpose. I really like the weight of it and the knurl through the middle is just sharp enough to create shear across the layers of soft tissue without being too aggressive. I like the diameter and the ends do a very nice job of helping you get deep into the shoulders and hips. It is very easily maneuverable for personal use and so far the people I've used it on it has really saved me the overuse of my hands and I can back of the pressure or really lay into them when necessary. As someone who is a practicing chiropractor and a lifter I am always searching for tools that help me address the soft tissue aspects of treatment without creating even more stress on my own body. Top notch."Travis Jewett, DCMWOD Seminar Staff
It's not.
So how does it work? Quite simple actually, it's a 44 pound weighted device which allows for pressure to be placed on a specific area via the contoured ends and modulated by either pushing against the implement or resisting it. Additionally the knurled middle part of the implement can also be used to both put pressure against the skin and twisted to provide a shearing effect to the tissue and fascia.
Thousands of our PainPills and Boomsticks have been purchased by athletes around the world - enabling them to spend less time on body maintenance and more time training or competing. We've also seen many massage practitioners implement this tool and technique as a way of increasing both the effectiveness of their work and the amount of work they can do at a given time.
The best part? You don't have to be an athlete, coach, or massage therapist to use this tool. It's friendly enough to be used by anyone, either on themselves as the subject or on another person. We provide video tutorials displaying the use of the PainPill as well as other resources for proper use of the tool and method.
Alright then, maybe you're sold on it. But isn't it just a shiny and smooth piece of steel? Why does it cost as much as it does? Unfortunately the cost of raw steel and having it professionally milled is quite steep, if you don't believe us feel free to go to a metal fabricator and ask how much a PainPill would cost as a one-off piece? Let's just say it's going to cost quite a bit more than our price. Besides this, you are not just paying for the tool itself, but the knowledge that comes along with the IASTM method as well as content that we are continuously producing and releasing for our audience and customers.

Results like the following video have become "run of the mill" with this product, and we consistently receive the same positive feedback from users as the Boomstick and PainPill finds itself in gyms, clinics, and other facilities around the world.
Rough price for boomstick to get posted to australia?
To give you a shipping quote, I would need your exact address.
What are the pros and cons in discussing which one to buy, the boomstick or pain pill? I work on all varieties of athletes from my small Olympic gymnasts and figure skaters to all my large NFL athletes. I want to give this a shot but not sure which to start with.
Typically we recommend the Boomstick to first-time tempering users, as it is much more friendly to handle and use. It also works more effectively in getting into hard-to reach areas such as the sub-scap and anterior lat insertions, whereas the bigger Pain Pill is more effective for larger muscles like the pecs/quads.
What does the zinc treatment do for the pain pill
The zinc plating is very thin metal coating that goes over the product, it won’t change the function at all but it will prevent the product from rusting and keep it cosmetically nice for a very long time.
Can you manipulate either of these by yourself ?
Absolutely. There should be a video in the description of both products with a brief synopsis of using them on yourself.
Hello, do you guys ship the pain pill/boomstick to Germany? Best regards
We do!
I'm thinking about purchasing Painpill/boomstick. Which one would you recommend if I must use it on myself?
Absolutely! The Boomstick is much easier to handle and use on one's own self without help, being half the weight of the PainPill. There are many techniques that just can't be done without the help of another person, so keep that in mind and find a super buddy to help!
I currently own a boomstick and was curious the size difference in the painpill. I know it's 22lbs heavier but what are the dimensions?
The pain pill is a 3 inch diameter and the same length, with the knurling along the same length as the boomstick
I weight at around 195lbs so I usually use a 45lb barbell to perform shearing and soft tissue mobility on quads hams, and around the shoulder pec attachment. The question is, would the boomstick be more useful or the pain pill? I'm involved in crossfit and I'm usually rather tight. Thank you
The diameter of the painpill makes it better suited for larger muscle groups or larger individuals and is a little too wide to work on some of the smaller musculature of the body (upper back for instance) where as the boomstick is much more versatile
Can the pain-pill work on the hip aside from the quadriceps and adductors? I find the weight of the tool can be much more effective in releasing my fascia. I can’t seem to find any videos on hip mobility.
Yes, all of our soft tissue tools can be used on any of the musculature of the body. If the PainPill is too much, we suggest purchasing a Boomstick or Baby Boomer. The entire line works very well with the IASTM tools different weight ranges for different body parts. In regard to hip mobility videos, we have a number of them within our subscription based Movement Library. Here is a link https://kabukistrength.com/kms2
