This shit works! I’ve had mine for a day and 90% of my lower back and leg pain. After three different PTs not one thought it was my psoas. Worth the $80!
I wish it was adjustable so you could adjust the width to target different areas of the psoas. Because of the way the psoas attaches, you can really only use it on the intermediate part. You can't target the proximal or distal attachments.
Get a Kettlebell and let it hang out on the areas that concern you. Lie on your back and place it on the affected area. For something more intense, lie on it... Something I personally attest to is lying flat on a foam roller and hanging out on the affected area.
I am very interested in purchasing this product BUT I have seen some off-branded ones that are Battery controlled? What effect do the battery-controlled items have that the manual ones do not? Please advise.- The Pso-rite is about twice as expensive as the battery-powered generic ones. There are also manual ones that are generic and are also half the cost. Does it matter if I purchase the off brand item whether manual or battery controlled?
great tutorial, i just ordered my pso-rite. I blew out my lower back 2 months ago. 5 herniared discs L-1 thru s-1. i always suffered from tight hips. I Pray this will help me out.
man, pso-rite has been so aggressively marketed by so many celebrities but I have yet to see how is this different from any plastic/wooden object you can hand-make to be fit for purpose. Why would someone pay 80 bucks for this ?
I suppose some people can't make something as they don't have hands on skills or don't have the time but do have the money, The product wouldn't exist otherwise.
@@Sherwodblack1992 Not sure if that message is for me Eli but I've used both modalities and many others over the years, just pointing out its not useless even if its considered expensive and some people can't do their laces up let alone make a PSO-rite :-)
It’s overpriced for sure, but I got a similar Amazon special and it works quite well (way cheaper). Sure I can use like a kettlebell handle or something but this is easier and more convenient. If you can afford it, why not?
Well for me, I’m too fat to use a lacrosse ball. I have to use a softball for similar movements. A coworker of mine let me use his Pso-Rite and I love the damned thing even if it does seem overpriced and something you could make yourself out of wood from the Hone Depot
I've spent well over a thousand on treatment and other options with no success. If this $80 piece of plastic can fix me it will be one of the best things I've spent money on
I heard your not supposed to release your Psoas. Especially since trying to put pressure on your psoas you put pressure on the intestines which for obvious reasons isnt good for you
Incorrect. You're not working on the muscle, you're working on the superficial layers of fascia that connect to and/or influence the integrity of the hip flexor muscle.
I know its something new, but its useless. You have ATG and KOTG, so why would you bother doing stretches, mobilizations and soft tissue work? KOTG offers you scalable Hip flexor strenghtening through length excersises, which will give you hip freedom forever, not just for a cople of minutes like soft tissue mobilization and stretching do. Even when you are so stiff that you cant do full lying supine bent knee hip flexion or atg ss, you could start with reverse squats and build ROM from there.
the pso rite honestly works really well. It doesnt replace ATG but from a day to day quality of life and feeling better at the moment its honestly great.
@@Sherwodblack1992 Why would you bother soft tissue work on hip flexors for just a moment of better mobility when you can just hold glute bridge for 30 seconds and own that position for the rest of the day? And do hip flexor work and heavy glute work a few times a week to see permament improvements. Hip flexors are such an easy thing to fix.
@@francik4225 It really just boils doing to what the goals are. Are you saying theres never a reason for soft tissue massage? Its a device that costs one trip to your PT
@@francik4225 I have a bad lower back caused a lot by tight hips flexors. So I can't do a bridge right now and release those hip muscles. So something like this might work better for me to release hips and gradually work my way into different variations of bridging

I saw a video of Barrookie on youtube were he made one that's adjustable.
@@driesdriies4384 it's not that difficult to do. You just need to cut the middle piece and add a track with a wheel so it can open and close.

@@busyrand a lacrosse ball works just as good for the areas that you can't target with the Pso Rite.
Easiest way is to just use one peak at a time.

kettlebell does the trick
It helps, but not nearly as effective.

Did it help?
@@davidsimpson3391 it did, along with other therapy, and stretching. It definitely has its place in the recovery process
Great stuff. Thank you!

@@maplin007 Not trying to gatekeep but if youve never had your psoas worked on by a PT or used the pso rite then you dont get it

Hey mate, nice video keep them going! Could you do a video for the rectus femoris muscle self release while not aggravating the patella tendon please.
Coming soon!
@@thepainbibles5206 can’t wait for it
Not a single fitness quackery without Mark promoting it these days.
😆 😆 😆 😆 ain't it the truth
still not clear why would i shell out for this over a lacross ball etc?
Because Mark was paid to promote this

lacrosse ball will not penetrate deep enough for proper release. Fascia is multi layered.
@@accradata No one was paid to do this. We created unique content to help people with a legitimate problem. How many people are you helping?
@@thepainbibles5206 I'll help put you to sleep champ, I couldn't care less about your random comment
You can use a yoga block also
VERY useful!
Thank you. 🤓🙏
It may have utility, but the price for a small piece of plastic is ridiculous
Go see how much it cost to have a PT poke at your psoas and then give you workouts they found on youtube to strengthen your core.
Honestly, $80 for a piece of plastic is just ridiculous.
I've spent well over a thousand on treatment and other options with no success. If this $80 piece of plastic can fix me it will be one of the best things I've spent money on
I printed one for about $16
1:40 that's an amazing extension, I must have a cemented QL :/
Probably my friend! WORK at it!

Wrong. My massage therapist digs his fingers into my psoas, but first he must push past my guts.
💥💥💥💥💥🤠💥💥💥💥💥
Damn, all about that small surface area😳
I couldn't get past the socks
Yuck!! I'm sure it'll help and I know I'm tight but that just looks painful.
Is this porta potty infomercial a joke @Mark? 2:40 Seriously? Is it April Fool's yet?
Can someone PLEASE just take a marker and draw the spots on the body and show us EXACTLY WHERE to place it to hit psoas??
2 inches to the left/right of the belly button and down an inch.

Thrival is a better device
These might work but it's a rip off
Just use a kettlebell, no?
Seems useless
It is
First
Dude this is literally putting pressure on your intestines
So does sitting or a tight belt. Should we stop those?
