The Trigger Point (TP) Performance Ultimate 6 Total Body Kit provides all the tools and instruction you need to perform effective self massage and myofascial release in the deep tissues of entire body. This kit is targeted to multi-sport athletes looking for a self-applied massage system to maintain the health of their muscles and for those looking for a way to care for daily aches and pains of the body. Ultimately, the Ultimate 6 Total Body Kit is a good option for anyone who would like to experience the benefits of deep tissue massage, at home, without having to go to a massage therapist.

The Ultimate 6 Kit contains the tools you need to access trigger points in your entire body with specific focus on six key areas that include:

• The soleus (back of the lower leg from knee to heel)
• The quads (large muscle group on the front of the thigh)
• The IT band (connects knee and thigh)
• The piriformis (the area connecting the lower spine to the hip)
• The psoas (the muscle connecting the spine to the front thigh), and
• The pectorals (the chest)

The tools are made with unique, TP patented materials that are designed to mimic the feel of a human hand and thumb--and to maintain shape and integrity with repeat use. The Ultimate 6 Guidebook is designed to provide background and instruction on myofascial release and deep tissue massage of these key areas of the body.

The Ultimate 6 Total Body Kit includes:

• One TP Massage Ball: The TP Massage Ball allows you to apply pressure directly to the muscle by using the floor, wall, or any hard surface to stabilize movement of the ball. The ball gets deep into the muscle when pressure is applied directly. The ball can also be rolled from side to side or in circles for a cross friction type massage.
• One Quadballer: The Quadballer uses your body weight to roll through your body with greater precision than a foam roller could. With the Quadballer you can roll completely through the quads, IT band, lower back, hamstrings, and neck, safely, effectively, and hands free. The Quadballer feels similar to a human hand and allows you to manipulate the muscles similarly to the way a massage therapist would--on a daily basis, on your own.
• One Footballer: Smaller than the Quadballer, the Footballer allows you to roll through, release, and massage smaller muscle groups and especially the calves and feet.
• The Ultimate 6 Guidebook: This book will take you through a quick education on the biomechanics of the body as it relates to running--while also covering the benefits of massage in six key areas: soleus (back of the lower leg from knee to heel), quads (large muscle group on the front of the thigh), IT band (connects knee and thigh), piriformis (the area connecting the lower spine to the hip), psoas (the muscle connecting the spine to the front thigh), and pectorals (the chest).

5.0 out of 5 stars A world of difference!, February 7, 2010

Wow! I was on the verge of injury and was getting slower running time from stiff muscles and had done massage and a whole assortment of physio options, but this system truly provided a NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE!!! I truly couldn't believe it from something it looks like I could make myself a home (I probably still could, but it wouldn't be worth my time, and not as effective).

I would HIGHLY recommend the kit with the Ultimate 6 instructional book. I thought I knew how to use the system and tried it for a few days without reading the instructions, with no real effects, and then when I read the little booklet, started using it as they advise, and my legs have never felt so fresh!!

I only use the quad baller and the little trigger ball - I find the smaller calf roller and block a little awkward and quad baller just as easy to use on my calves. However, the booklet is really what lets you use the system properly, so I would say it's worth it to get the package just for the book.

Just for background, I first heard about this product from a buddy in college. His parents lived on the other side of the country so he flew to school which means he didn't have many belongings with him (only what he could fit into a few suitcases) and the quad baller was one of the few discretionary items he brought to college and kept in his otherwise very empty room (a testament to how useful he though it was). He also told me his mother used to be a marathon runner, but had to stop a number of years ago from injury. She tried all types of physio with no success, until just a year ago she found the TP Therapy system and within 6 weeks was running again, and just started back into her first marathon in 6 years. So, when I was start to experience pain from running, I gave it a shot, and couldn't have been happier!

My trainer uses this system and it made a huge difference in reducing soreness and muscle stress and helped in stretching out the muscles. If you have any aches, pains or soreness, this system works. My quads, calves, glutes and shoulders are worlds different. I cannot recommend this product enough!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish it included a video, February 3, 2010

I love this product, but I sure wish there was a video to demonstrate how to use each item to make sure that it is being done properly. I use it at Cross Fit, but there I have instructors to make sure that I am doing the manipulation correctly. I got this to help my boyfriend and when I try to show him, of course I do it "not so good" ;-) Overall, though this is a really good product and would recommend it to anyone who suffers from muscle soreness.
