Trigger Point Performance Therapy
TriggerPoint Therapy Training
On September 16th 2011 I went to the Fulham Fitrooms to attend the Trigger Point Performance Therapy Ultimate 6+ Training Course taught by Jonathan Lewis from Balance Performance Physiotherapy, a TPT Master Trainer. This was a half day hands on course in which I learnt about the key areas of the human biomechanical chain and why & how to implement Myofascial Compression Techniques to reach the body’s potential in terms of strength, performance, mobility and, in essence, health. I fully recommend the training, high quality and in a relaxed well presented manner!
I learnt precisely how to perform the self massage techniques on myself and on others and learnt how to teach another person how to perform the self massage for themselves, with the ultimate goal being able to maintain their own biomechanical health on a regular basis.
Examination
I even had to sit an online exam, the first for a long time, which was part multiple choice and part essay answers. Six weeks or so after pressing ’submit’ online I received an email from TP Therapy in the U.S. to say that I had indeed passed, attached was my certificate. This means I can safely tell you about Myofascial Compression Techniques and show you how to help create muscular elasticity all geared toward helping your achieve your potential, whether that be in general fitness or TaeKwon-Do Techniques. Call ME! 
How Can TP Therapy Help?
The Myofascial Compression Techniques in combination with the TP Tools and an effective routine done on a regular basis will improve your muscular elasticity; actually doing the MCT increases blood flood in your muscles and reduces scar tissue and muscles adhesions, basically it can iron out all those niggles and knots that are stopping you get a full range of motion and preventing you from getting a good stretch on.
The Upside
Good techniques will increase efficiency of movement which will in turn mean you save energy. i.e. you will perform a kick with greater efficiency, better technique and use less energy – ALL GOOD.
The Downside
It hurts! Well it does at first anyway but you quickly get conditioned. However, try not to think of it as ‘hurting’ or ‘distress’ but think of it merely as ‘discomfort’ which, with persistence, will bring great rewards.
