Infinity Wellness Foundation and Trigger Point Performance Therapy (Texas-based company) is excited to announce a new partnership to help bring cutting-edge exercise technology and programming to disadvantaged inner city youth in DC!

Trigger Point has generously donated 40 of their GRIDs (orange colored roller above) to our WellKIDS Program this semester as well as created an entire SMRT-CORE KIDS Program for us to implement within our schools.

Trigger Point sent their Master Instructor, Kolleen Riddick, to Washington DC to teach us about SMRT-CORE KIDS and using the GRIDs with youth.

Trigger Point has created a series of microcycles of exercises/movements for the students to go through using the GRIDs to prepare their bodies for our WellKIDS Class during the warm-up.

Below you can see our WellKIDS Coaches trying out the, ‘calf rocker’ exercise!

We will pilot the Trigger Point SMRT-CORE KIDS Program in Ross Elementary School this semester and look to bring the Trigger Point products and programming into more DC Public Schools in the Fall!

A big THANK YOU to the entire Trigger Point Team of Cassidy, Anna, Kolleen, and Jamie for helping make a difference in the community!
