I’m Dr. Garrett!

Founder of Nordstick.

As a sports physical therapist working with Division 1 athletes, I’ve treated countless sprinters and football players suffering from hamstring injuries.


One thing became clear: weak hamstrings are the number one reason for these injuries.


Research shows Nordic curls are one of the best ways to prevent hamstring strains. But here’s the problem—most people don’t do them. Why?

Traditional Nordic benches cost over $600, making them inaccessible for many athletes, trainers, and everyday fitness enthusiasts.

Even at top universities, these benches are rare.


Without proper equipment, people resort to unreliable, makeshift setups or avoid hamstring training altogether—putting them at risk for injury.


In search of a practical solution, I jammed a rolling pin and a ratchet strap under a door so my athletes could safely perform Nordic curls without needing a partner.


This simple innovation became the NordStick, making hamstring strengthening accessible to everyone.

I noticed that many of my clients mentioned knee and lower back pains.


They didn’t realize that weak hamstrings contributed to the discomfort and poor performance they were experiencing.


They didn’t know how to train properly to address these issues either.


The unfortunate part? Hamstring injuries are one of the most preventable injuries.

Deadlifts and squats can help, but they don’t fully activate the hamstrings in the same way as Nordic curls.

Even those who know about Nordic curls struggle to train them correctly.


They either don’t have access to a Nordic bench, feel intimidated by the exercise, or try unstable methods that make training inefficient and even dangerous.


Without proper training, the risk of injury skyrockets—and once a hamstring injury occurs, it’s difficult to recover fully.

That’s what led me to create Nordstick.


We’re focused on affordable, effective home workout solutions.


And over 250,000 units later, we’ve made a big impact. But we’re not stopping there.

But This Is Where It Gets Tricky...

Honestly, for years, people have tried to work around the lack of accessible hamstring training options.

Traditional Nordic Benches are effective, but too expensive at $600.

Holding a friend’s feet or using unstable setups can only get you so far and is oftentimes impractical.

On top of that, the lack of training knowledge makes it even harder and increases injury risk.

People need a solution that is effective, affordable, and easy to use.


That’s why I created the NordStick—a simple, portable, and reliable way to strengthen hamstrings anywhere.

That's why we built the Nordstick
