Front of shoulder, and chest

A single Wedge configuration is shown. The area targeted is the shoulder. The Wedge is ‘raising’ the 750 past the chest and angling the pressure into the anterior capsule.


  1. Step past your TolaPoint with your opposite leg to gently trap your Point between your shoulder or chest and the surface.
  2. Relax your shoulder and chest. Lean toward your Point and let your body weight create the pressure required.
  3. For more pressure, push toward your Point with your legs.

Hips

Hips

A Wedge-pair configuration is shown. The Wedges are being used to: increase the pressure (by allowing the Point to reach into the groove of the hip); make the Point easier to handle, and to direct the pressure toward the belly of the tensor fascia latae.


  1. Step past your TolaPoint with your opposite leg to gently trap your Point between your hip and an upright surface, for example a door jamb.
  2. Relax your hips. Lean toward your Point and let your body weight create the pressure required.
  3. For more pressure, push toward your Point with the leg on your unaffected side.
