Hello,
I was suffering from bad tendonitis in my knee. Not only
was I in pain...it was affecting my performance level as well.
A guy I had met at a previous event, Cassidy Phillips of Trigger
Point Performance Therapy, saw me suffering and approached me with one of
his products--saying, "You have to try this...I swear it will help you."
It's true I was impressed with his philosophy and products.
But...impressed or not, I was extremely hesitant. I NEVER change
anything in the last 48 hours before a race. It's a strict rule I follow.
However--I trusted Cassidy and was in pain--so approximately 15 hours
before my race--I tried the wide cylinder contraption with what looked
like a giant roller with two yo-yos on the ends on my left thigh and
knee.
The next day at the race I had only one regret...
That I hadn't used it on my right knee as well! I experienced
phenomenal results--which I'll tell you about in a minute, but first let
me tell you about this tool.
The little wonder tool I used is called the TP Quadballer. What it does is allow you to
perform massage and myofascial release techniques on yourself.
Techniques which you'd normally hire a massage therapist or physical
therapist to do.
With a few days of practice and the ability to listen to your body ... you too will be referring to the
TP Quadballer as a "wonder tool"...but enough about
that--let me tell you more about what it does.
In physical therapy terms--the TP Quadballer allows you to relax the myofascial tissue
in your entire quad and lateral thigh. By doing so, you release and
relax your upper leg and, therefore, your knee. So when you
use this tool you will:
· Helps eliminate restrictive muscular adhesions by elongating and separating your muscles
· "Steamroll" your muscles. Picture your muscles as bungee cords with tape around them. This tool will help you to loosen the tape and separate the muscles--allowing the connective tissue to reorganize in a more flexible, functional way.
· Be in control of your own body maintenance.
One of the reasons I developed this Web site is because I don't want you
to be a passive element in your care. I want you to be in
control--as much as possible--instead of relying only on medical
specialists such as a physical therapist and a certified athletic
trainer.
So what happened as a result of using the TP Quadballer before my event? Not only had I
relieved my pain--I was 25% stronger in my left leg with 75% less pain in
my left knee!
Today I use the TP Quadballer on myself at least 5 times per week. You too can be in control of your own body maintenance. Just imagine days from now using the TP Quadballer -experiencing improved performance and less pain--without having to pay for a specialist.
With Healthy Regards,
Mike Ryan PT, ATC, PES
