Long story short, I’ve had tons of myofascial pain and tension in the legs and glutes and lower back. This tension clamps on nerves and causes more pain. I do what works for me and have developed precise, elaborate exercises and stretches for myself. This tool is now one of my go to tools after the first use. Some background, at one point, I literally had chains of trigger points including into psoas, diaphragm, tight IT bands, tight quads, etc., and an incredible “stiffness” including sitting pain. I had piriformis syndrome for a while, sciatic pain and just general high muscle tone issues (the stiffness might be called “muscle rheumatism” back in the day). Possibly powered by my lower lumbar DDD issues – who knows. I changed my diet to mega flavinoids (green powders + various supplements including turmeric (and did I say flavinoids)) + higher vitamin C. I also use Nattokinase/serrapeptidase/ lumbrokinase enzymes, too (which may help tissue remodeling/removal of fibrin/debris? – again who knows?), and do all kinds of exercise and stretching daily (mostly TRX suspension exercises and Pilates reformer and some exercise bands with leg exercises; all this is great for eccentric exercise and core strengthening). I have a ton of balls of various sizes from really big, 5″, 4 and 3″ and tiny ones and a tool called the pocket physio max which is a great point tool. Also, foam rollers (I like Rollga’s, the curved ones) and percussion massagers. I got most of these right here on Amazon. This approach has helped me to really heal and lower the tension. In fact, I go in cycles where I don’t do much trigger point work at all anymore. Just more dynamic stretching than static stretching while I’m doing the TRX / Pilates and using a vibration platform, etc. All that being said some of the best tools include this one – which I use most for my glutes and upper legs. I got positive results the first time I used it. This and certain balls and the Lockerroom pocket physio max tool and my percussion massager are my go to tools when I do trigger point work. Yes it was expensive. However, the first time I used it I knew it wasn’t going back. Do consider taking it easy if using on your abdomen. It does get in deep! Lots of videos on YouTube of people using this in various ways. I really don’t like to do much psoas massage work – I tried balls, the end of the Rollga’s etc – because the psoas tends to “knot up” if you do that and you can’t necessarily get to high up parts of it. That being said, this can hit lower parts of the psoas and possibly rectus adbominus trigger points (which I have). I do inverted (reversed) handstands bending backwards over a large inflated ball to stretch the psoas and I do some pikes on the TRX and on my Pilates machine to work and move the psoas. However this tool can be used so many other places – on the back of the legs, glutes, etc. So the name Pso-rite is a bit of a misnomer. If you have myofascial pain anything like I’ve described above in deep, bigger muscles, this will probably become one of your go to tools.

Short version: worth the money even if it costed 4x as much.
I’ve struggled with back pain for 10 years now, and had L3/L4 fusion surgery in 2013, which led to a severe opioid addiction for several years. Having been completely clean for over 5 now, I struggle with back pain every day; some days its hardly noticeable and others it makes me contemplate if life is worth living. I own every at home therapy/muscle stretch/release tool you can thing of-theracane, massage gun, 4 foam rollers, tennis ball, racket ball, strengthening bands. I’ve had all types of massages (including one aimed to release my psoas) physical therapy, daily sretching, and am constantly rotation tylenol/ibupfrofen/naproxen, along with magnesium and a non-narcoti muscle relaxer. Can’t forget ice too.
I saw this thing on social media about 2 years ago, and heard Joe Rogan praising it, but it came of as one of those gimmicks like jawsercise. Last night, out of frustration with a particularly severe bout of 2 weeks of stabbing pain in my lower right back (that no stretches or icing or anything could even touch) I blearily ordered this at 12am, reasoning that I would just return it 30 seconds out of the package because it’s 80 dollars for God’s sake.
I will say this-It’s challenging to find the right position, and its painful-especially if you have your abs tight at all (which is required to maneuver your self onto the darn thing.) I was patient with this, as I’m no stranger to chasing that “hurts so good” feeling. I did two sets of laying on this for a minute each, taking shallow, slow breaths, and focusing on relaxing my core, and as I came off of this little plastic camels hump, I felt the most profound relief I’ve felt since I can remember. I was actually moved to tears as I got up and walked to the kitchen, noticing that my hips felt like I could hula-hoop all day. I also noticed that I walked easier, and that my feet contacted the ground flatter, and more evenly. It took away so much pain that I didn’t even realize I had INSIDE my back, not just towards the surface or the outer muscles. I felt so much whole body relief. I don’t really have the writing skills to relate how awesome and relieving an experience this was for me.
Overall, buy the damn thing. No BS. No hype. If you struggle with back pain, this will help. If you think it’s not worth the money, return it, take it to UPS store on your way to work. But you won’t. Genuine thanks pso-rite!

Just buy it. If you are reading this, this is what you need. I’m able to hit every muscle around the hips, abdomen, and low back to a much greater extent than any studded foam roller…
This has greatly aided me in fixing anterior pelvic tilt, which in turn reduces hip and back pain, and helps you realign those joints properly. The outer muscles of hips have been a confounding issue for years… until I found this. Now I can finally massage them out and loosen them up with tremendous relief…. But be warned… its hurts so gooood at first. 😩🫠🥲

I’m a Licensed Massage Therapist and Shiatsu Practitioner 🙌🏽 for 25 years so these thoughts may be valid to you. I do not work for the company but purchased one on Amazon. It arrived a week ago or so. The Pso-Rite tool is good for hard to reach tendons. My husband who tends to get build-up in shoulders has found it pretty helpful. He definitely felt the difference after 1st usage. He does push ups longer now which has always been a problem. The tool goes further then my elbow could ever go. Lol. It’s affective in shoulder joints, shoulder blades, quads and ham string muscles. You can use it at the bottom of your foot too for all you plantar fasciitis sufferers and there’s enough of you! This tool and rolling a frozen bottle of water will get you there!
Now, as far as price – I paid $39 for ours (Amazon). I went back to buy a few more as gifts and even a 2nd one for us the same week and it went up to $59. Today I noticed it jumped to $80 (😳)
Yes, it probably costs about $7 to make. Yes, the price is high and although they are probably looking for that sweet spot in the price, it’s a good investment. It can fit in any overnight bag. Its not to heavy and yet it feels solid when you use it. It’s a great tool. They have clearly put some thought into it.
I, as a massage therapist and sufferer of psoas tightness, have found it pretty affective. I also use on my lower back and glutes for release. When it heads back down to $59, I will snag a few.
Lastly and more importantly, you want to open up those areas that are tight. It brings more blood flow and therefore oxygen to that area. With that, there is healing. With healing, you will find more mobility that you may not find at a PT office (Truth).
Happy healing and good job Pso-Rite. 🙌🏽♥️

It is sturdy and has really helped release my tension. The price is worth the quality.

Not for me, but it works as designed.

This product is awesome. It’s rather pricey for some cheap plastic, but it works. I’d say there are other designs you can find that do the same thing as this product for much cheaper. I will say this product has helped loosen my hips tremendously and reduced my back pain. The psoas is a major contributor to hip flexion (bending forward). If this muscle gets tight, you’ll typically experience lower back pain. This product has helped me in this area as I have always had really tight hip flexor, and since I’ve started using this product regularly. My hip and back pain is gone.

I’d give the PSO-Rite 4 stars, but it seems insanely overpriced for a piece of plastic. Yes, it’s a good piece of plastic, but still… I also find it a little difficult to use unless you really know what you’re doing and can locate the psoas and illiacus. The online videos aren’t super helpful with this, and it will take some trial and error. The inclination is to lay on it with the Pro-Right bridging the abdomen, but that really isn’t all that effective. Instead you need to really concentrate on using one horn at a time, but moving your body into position isn’t all that easy and takes a while to get the hang of. The benefit is that once you do figure it out, you can apply your body weight to dig into the psoas and illiacus which are very hard to get to and tiring to massage any other way. I also have a Rogue Mobility Hand which I find much easier and more precise to use (by hand and without attaching it to a rack) for self-massaging my psoas and illiacus, but it’s more tiring and requires some arm strength. If I could only afford one of them, it would not be the overpriced Pso-Rite which isn’t overall as useful as the Mobility Hand.

WOW!
First of all,
About me: two herniated discs at 24 years old and very active. I lift 5 days a week and run 6 days a week
Thank you Joe Rogan for always talking about this and promoting it without getting paid by Pso-Rite which gave me confidence to try this out.
I herniated two discs in my lower back about 3 years ago which has been giving me serious problems ever since. I avoided surgery at all costs and have tried nearly everything there is to pain relief associated with releasing tension to the sciatic nerve…My bedroom looks like a physical therapy office.
I’ve done physical therapy for 6 months, chiropractic work for 6 months (what a joke), read multiple books about living with herniated discs (since it never really heals 100%) and was really knowledgable on how to roll out properly with a lacrosse ball, foam roller, PVC pipe, using a inversion table, electro therapy etc..to either reduce the pain or give me enough mobility to just go about my day to school and work without sweating from the pain and discomfort.
The one thing all of the doctors, physical therapists and books never mentioned was the Psoas muscle. I looked up what this muscle was and it blew my mind that nobody ever mentioned it to me after the hundreds of doctor/physical therapy appointments I had. After reading a little about it I ordered one immediately.
On a normal day when I wake up, my pain is usually a 6-8/10 and I always have to do my routine with my inversion table, lacrosse balls etc…to be able start my day. The first time I used this for my Psoas, it was like the greatest relief I have ever felt. It was weird because I never knew about the muscle, never realized how tight and sore it was, but after couple minutes of just using this directly on the Psoas, my pain completely went away. Not only the pain went away but my posture for sitting and walking feels way better because now I have more mobility in that muscle since it was never worked on in all 4 years of my powerlifting career and because of that I know have a mind muscle connection to a muscle that I never knew I had which helps me when I am sitting for a long time or just walking.
And on top of all of that, this piece of equipment gets all the spots a lacrosse ball or foam roller can never get to. This is the best for hips, hamstrings, calves, upper back, lower back and nearly everywhere I have tried it on it has impressed me since I have tried other things which don’t do as well due to not being the right design or size.
This is clearly a very long review and obviously everybody is different and might not get the same benefits as me but what I do know for a fact is if you don’t get any benefit or relief from this then you are just not using it correctly. I have shown this to all my friends and let them use it when they are over at my house and none of them have any injuries and were raving about how much pressure it released or how good it felt during and after using the Pso-Rite.
100% worth the money and you won’t regret it.
Injured or not, this will change your game. This is my new favorite thing to do before and after workouts to prevent injuries and help with recovery.
