FEATURED AMBASSADOR

For 4 years, he has been recognized as one of the best instructors in New York City in New York Magazine.

“I have had some issues with very tight muscles around my hips, glutes, piriformis, TFL mostly, to the point of having a little numbness radiating down my quads. After using the TP massage ball for about a week I was no longer experiencing the radiating numbness down my leg. I also use the other products on a daily basis. I teach 21 classes a week plus 10 personal training sessions and my own training in NYC. That is a lot of running around on top of a physically demanding schedule. The TP products have made a huge difference in the speed of my muscles recovery time. It’s like having a massage therapist with you on call all day every day.”

“In my job I have people come up to me regularly asking about how to deal with muscle and joint pain, planter fasciitis, as well as many overuse injuries. After having such great personal success with the TPT products it easy for me to recommend these products with great enthusiasm and belief. I also use them all the time in the gym and people are curious about what I am doing. I let them try the product and it sells itself really.”

Trigger Point and (ART) Active Release Technique comes together!!

Active Release Techniques Official Web Site

Trigger Point Technologies and ART, Active Release Technique, have found a relationship that is truly making a positive impact on athletes and non-athletes alike.

If you’ve been to an Ironman Event here in North America you’ve seen both parties working separately for the greater good of the athletes. “What we want people to know is that we are in support of each other and our methodology’s,” said Cassidy Phillips founder of Trigger Point Technologies.

ART is a combination of examination and treatment. The ART provider uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movements.

TPT products offer a myofascial release technique based off of compression, bringing additional blood flow and oxygen to general areas of the body defined by either Trigger Point Technologies homecare methodologies or by the ART practitioner.

This combination will allow individuals to bridge the gap between the clinical office and the home. With the two forms of therapy working together an athlete or someone that’s dealing with chronic pain will be enabled to get ahead of the curve and assist their therapist in the process of healing.

It’s as if the TPT tools are the toothbrush and the ART Practitioner is the dentist, neither are trying to replace one another rather they are complimenting one another.

ART treatment protocols encompass over 500 specific moves that are unique to ART. They allow providers to identify and correct the specific problems that are affecting each individual patient. TPT products take a more general approach, treating specific areas with products that are designed to mirror the feeling of an actual hand. The specific ART moves are clearly defined and are irreplaceable. The TPT products assist with additional blood flow and oxygen to aid in the recovery and preventative maintenance process pre, post or during ART treatments.

“You will soon see additional information on the tptherapy.com website regarding the relationship between ART and TPT. It is TPT’s objective to give our visitors the best form of therapy possible, this is why we’ve chosen to associate ourselves with Mike Leahy and his team of ART practitioners,” say’s Phillips
