Trigger Point Starter Set
$70, Tptherapy.com
Use for: Post-workout muscle massage
Dr. Metzl says: Scientific data have shown that massage quickens muscle recovery. And if you can do your own massage at home, that’s great. The Trigger Point tools are essentially similar to a foam roller but can get in deeper.
Fix yourself: Use the ball or roller to get into small or hard-to-reach muscle groups such as the calf or hip abductors.
