Best praise vs top criticism for Pso-Rite Psoas Muscle Release Tool
“Stretches didn’t work for me - I have to use a tool. I tried the hip hook and pso-rite but didn’t like it. A 5’’ firm foam ball worked pretty good but could only do the psoas when you also need to release the iliacus as well to really feel results. Littlemum makes this silicone coated metal thing that looks like a roller coaster track - I lay on my back and lightly press it into the psoas then hinge the large edge under my hip crest and release the iliacus too. Much better results laying on my back rather than on my front (I think it has to do with how your organs move). You can really feel the difference when you are done.”
“You’ve identified a region beginning at your left SI joint and ending right where the top of the pelvis and Lumbar facet joints are located. Generally you’ll find some common issues that can be co existing here, but when combined, they elicit pain. I treat patients mainly with my hands, and many for this type of injury set sub grouping. I.E - An overuse underuse, compensatory MECHANICAL alignment pathology. This can be caused by irregular gait, sustained abnormal posture, sitting for extended periods causing reciprocal inhibition, standing/movement activity in compromised work conditions, and mainly the absence of abdominal strength, posterior pelvic strength, and strength of the foot arch. Most of the time all of these and more are combined. Over time it causes a musculoskeletal alignment error, your body then spasms muscles and fascia to protect nerves, blood supply, joints, and mainly your brain and spinal cord. In most cases this is an insidious process for years and then all of a sudden, you bend over, and ouchie. Other times, acute injuries in single leg SI AND referred pain issues come from kicking an object, landing from a surface on one leg etc. So first you identify what the etiology is, then consider imaging to see if we’ve got any broken bones or other obvious shadowing indicating surgery. If not, you’re in luck. If there is someone like me around you. First step. Buy a pso rite. It’s a piece of double rounded plastic protruding from a flat surface. This is to be laid on in order to deform the muscle bellies of your HIP FLEXORS. Hip flexor tightness is one of THE MOST common pathologies in every single person I’ve treated, regardless of what I’m treating, in this realm of injury sub groupings. This will hurt, a lot. The Lumbo pelvic hip complex plays a crucial role in every movement of the human body. Nerve firing for all human movement begins at sacral segment 2. Then travels outward from our center of gravity. The hip flexors take heavy control of this entire sector. Cram the living fuck out of them with the pso rite and strum them like a guitar until their tetany has been reduced to 0. Follow its guidelines (pso rite) as there are major vascular and nervous system complexes adjacent. And do Both sides. Likely your SI joint will pop and you’ll be fine and go back to However you were before. Only reason I say that is because you appear to be young and healthy. The other 2 major players here are your external rotators of the hip, and your quadratus lumborum. In fact, in your photo, your fingers are nearly touching the QL and the insertion point of your hip flexors. They attach to the lateral portions of your lumbar vertebrae. Stretch your hip external rotators, they are the culprit when you hear people with “sciatica”. I can go into detail but I won’t. Stretch the QL gently, and then aggressively with a tennis ball in modified side lying. It would be very beneficial for you to also use the tennis ball to smash your glute medius in sid”
