Designed by a physical therapist with over 20 years of manual therapy experience, the Tola™ System uniquely enables users to apply deep, precise pressure to hard-to-reach soft tissues. It features 3 carefully designed "points" that can be used seated, standing or lying down to target trigger points for pain-relief or facilitate neuromuscular release prior to stretching. The 3 contours allow multiple applications in terms of body area and deep pressure tolerance.
Includes: 50 page Tola™ System manual that guides the user through proper positioning and therapeutic examples. Spiral-bound.
The Tola™ System allows you to:
Relax. The Tola™ System allows users to relax while relying on body or limb weight to apply pressure. Little or no muscle action is required.
Customize. Tola™ "points" vary from sharp to flat contours and can be combined with one or more angled wedges or a rocker base to vary the angle and/or height of pressure application, introduce a rolling-effect or enable hand-held use.
Apply independently. Users can comfortably treat hard-to-reach soft tissues without relying on an assistant.
"The TOLA is a simple but ingeniously designed self-help tool. With variable angles and surface areas delivered in a lightweight and compact package, the TOLA is perfect for the traveler to get those kinks out after a flight or a bad hotel night. For the discerning client of bodywork or physical training, the TOLA can be used to target trigger points, 'stuck' areas, or myofascial pain. The handbook concentrates on static pressure; for myself I get the best results by moving my body very slowly over the stationary tool to energize, hydrate, and re-awaken the tissues. Put it in your suitcase or keep it by your bed. If you are a 'get it out of there no matter what the pain' kind of person, remember to breathe."
