The Running Event

We had a great time exhibiting at The 2008 Running Event Expo at the Dallas Convention Center last week. The Running Event is a conference and trade show that draws running retailers and vendors from all over the country.

Each person that visited our booth had the opportunity to use all of the TP tools to experience first-hand the benefits of the deep tissue massage. Many of those who had heard of Trigger Point but had never used the tools said that they could really feel the difference!

We loved being able to talk with store owners, managers and staff about our products and to hear their goals for their stores and their customers. We provided tips on proper use of the TP tools, and we introduced our new Ulitmate 6 DVD that will be available in 2009.

Trigger Point also had two of our Amerikenyan Running club athletes, who TP sponsors, come by the booth. They shared some of their experiences with the TP products and how they have enhanced their racing and muscle health.

We congratulate all the producers and sponsors for hosting such a great event!

IM Florida

Trigger Point’s latest event at IM Florida starting of windy and cold but the weather began to clear and brought many enthusiastic racers to the IM Village. The TP booth turned out to be a great success. We had several visitors that came to the booth with severe Plantar Fasciitis. Some were in such bad shape they shuffled into the booth unable to walk without pain. After spending a couple minutes in the booth rolling out they left feeling like a new person.

With just over 2,200 athletes taking to the water and over 1,000 first timers the 10th annual IM Florida went into full gear. Under sunny skies with calm water and little wind the race conditions could not have been better.

Tom Evan of Penticton, BC, who has used the TP products, took the win on the men’s side, smashing the course record in the process. Evans finished with an overall time of 8:07:59, well ahead of the previous record of 8:21:29 and twenty seconds better than his previous personal best. Evans was in the first group out of the water and proceeded to build his lead for the remainder of the race.

Trigger Point wants to thank everyone who came by the booth and congratulate all that raced and finished IM Florida.

Ultimate Six Cert

Trigger Point’s most recent U6 class took place at CrossFit BWI in Maryland. Everyone who was in attendance left with a new understanding of the TP tools and methodologies. Each person learned how treating the muscles on a daily bases will help to treat and eliminate pain and discomfort in the muscles.

The rain and chill in the air did not hinder any of the participants. Many of the class attendees including the instructor, Jeff Alexander, participated in a crossfit workout before the first day of class. The class found out how the trigger point tools will influence their recovery first hand after their workout that morning.

Everyone was great at participating and contributing their skills to the learning process.  Having such a good blend of talented and committed people in one place helped everyone learn more.

Trigger Point wants to thank Ryan Thompson, owner of CrossFit BWI, and all who attended the class for their participation and enthusiasm.
