Thank you :grin:

Have to see I`ve very pleased with the products in relation to hitting a lot of areas a bog standard foam roller misses.

I'm pleased with it overall other than the block which is giving way sooner than I had expected.

so, from what I see, most of the trigger point therapy can be done without a helper?
Are areas of the neck (traps and such) included, and how would you feel it would do in those areas specifically. The foam roller is just a bit to cumbersome to hit that area effectively.

Yes, if you don`t call the manual & DVD a help :mrgreen:

They do hold classes / workshops in the US with qualified instructors.

The Ultimate 6 package that I got works on Psoas, quads, calf's, glutes, chest & lats but you can buy other packages aimed at different areas. A package being made up of the different massage tools & an instructional DVD for that region.

I also bought a few weeks later a second TP massage ball & 2 more DVD`s. Now this makes it difficult because they also do an online therapy site with instructional clips / programs on there to use for the whole body. These are broken down into mini programs for what ever sport, injury or issue you are wanting to target & normally they are 3 levels per program. Still using this & exploring to decide whether its better than the DVD`s, so saving money, or it compliments them. Write to follow.

I know what you mean. I've used their massage ball for the neck, traps & two points in the lower back to good effect. These programs I got off their site so can`t compare them to any DVD package they might have. The biggest issue I've found is that around 90% of what they seem to cover, to me is, based around fixing & conditioning runners, triathletes, cyclists & such type of sports people. So the areas up to the hips / lower back are what get the most attention.
