TP Performance Foot and Lower Leg Kit
The Trigger Point
Performance Foot and Lower Leg Kit is just what you need if you
are a runner, walker, cyclist, or you just want the benefits of a
great massage in the comfort of your own home.
The kit has been put
together to consist of all the tools necessary to go through the
detailed How-To section as well as the REGEN Class in the Foot
and Lower Leg DVD. These tools are the same great tools that are
in every one of our kits.
You can’t forget
that every bone has a muscle that surrounds it and every joint
has a muscle and a tendon that supports it. So when it comes to
massage, don’t you think it’s time you do it
everyday?
The Foot and Lower Leg DVD
The Foot and Lower Leg DVD
in this kit includes a detailed How-To section lead by Cassidy
Phillips, founder of Trigger Point Technologies, that answers
questions about pace, placement, breathing, posture, duration and
much more. The DVD also includes a 20-minute Re-Gen Class, which
is very similar to a yoga class in feel, that you can follow
along with to make sure you are doing the manipulations as we
suggest. The DVD will show you how we suggest you use the
products in all of the areas mentioned below.
Biomechanical Education
Day-to-day activity can
take its toll on the body. Whether it's training for a triathlon,
marathon, sporting event or just general work activities, your
body and its biomechanics are continuously being compromised. The
way you sit, stand, run, and drive affects the way your body will
function through movement. Being that your foot is the foundation
for your body, it’s important that you massage the muscles
that control the foot effectively and efficiently.
It’s important to
understand that your foot is a puppet to the muscles in the lower
leg. The muscles surrounding the calf region all connect in the
bottom of the foot, so when these muscles get tight they are
going to pull from their insertion points and potentially
cause injuries to occur.
According to the
Journal
of Bodywork and Movement therapies, Trigger Point and
Myofacial Release Therapy can relieve muscular aches and pains in
association with the areas discussed. They can also assist with
the redevelopment of muscles and/or restore motion to the ankle
joints.
Additionally:
Massage has also been found to be a great way to counteract the
effects of poor biomechanics;
Myofascial release refers to the manual massage technique for
stretching the fascia and releasing bonds between fascia,
integument, and muscles with the goal of eliminating pain,
increasing range of motion and equilibrioception. Myofascial
release usually involves applying shear compression or tension in
various directions, or by skin rolling. - wikapedia.com

TRIGGER POINT THERAPY:
Based on the discoveries of Dr. Janet Travell and Dr. David
Simons, in which they found the causal relationship between
chronic pain and its source, Myofascial Trigger Point therapy is
used to relieve muscular pain and dysfunction through applied
pressure to trigger points of referred pain and through
stretching exercises. These points are defined as localized areas
in which the muscle and connective tissue are highly sensitive to
pain when compressed. Pressure on these points can send referred
pain to other specific parts of the body.
Trigger Point Performance products are
specifically designed to support the massage associated with
Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial Release Therapy and other forms
of massage therapy.
