You need to release the tension in the key muscles the video talks about, such as the iliacus and the piriformis. Once those muscles are relaxed, the pelvis will be in a better alignment and the SI joints will be able to move and function better, without pain.

Please reach out to us at hello@alethasupport.com if you have any questions about the products and what issues they've helped other solve. For your specific issue, it is always a good idea to first be assessed by a practitioner to identify the causes and see if releasing tension in the hip flexors is part of the solution.

We ship internationally, so it could be something to check with your credit card company about. Please reach out to us at hello@alethasupport.com if you have any other questions.

Yes, the iliopsoas and OI are commonly tight together. The iliopsoas is typically what develops tension first, as it is the larger muscle that is used in more daily actions (i.e. sitting, walking, running, etc.). Because the iliopsoas also acts on the hip joint as an external rotator, it makes the other hip external rotators more likely to develop tension. This includes the OI, piriformis, and the other of the "deep 6" hip rotators.

That's great to hear! Lying down over the Mark (Hip Hook) is the best position to help the abdominal muscles to fully relax and let the tip sink in deeper to access the iliacus and psoas muscles. Being on the elbows can be a way to increase the pressure (if you can sufficiently relax in that position). That view also helps people see the tool better for videos and ads so they can actually see the product and understand what it's doing. :)

@@AlethaHealth got it! Thank you

Have you tried using the Mark (Hip Hook) yet to begin correcting this?

You should not use the Mark (Hip Hook) when pregnant. If you are looking to get your hip flexors released when pregnant, it would be best to see a practitioner for in-person treatment. However, you could skip Step 1 in this sequence and perform Steps 2 & 3 using the Orbit ball and the pelvis realignment exercise.

We're so happy that you found us! Please tell your chiropractor a big THANK YOU for recommending us. We hope that the Mark (Hip Hook) will prove to be the missing piece for your hip pain. Please reach out to us at hello@alethasupport.com if you have any questions once you receive your order. :)

We are all very grateful for rockstars like you who are highly skilled. Finding someone who has your level of skill is rare, which is why tools like these are important to provide options for the 99.9% who don't have access to you. And yes, if you are in a situation where you continue to create muscle tension, you do need repeated treatment. Those reasons can be repeated motions, instability, stress, and trauma.

Mental tension and physical tension can impact each other, but it all starts with awareness and understanding of how to best treat it. For your situation, it would be great to talk with a practitioner/therapist to begin identifying what is causing what you're feeling and how to best work towards improving that.

Muscles like the glute max and glute medius are typically weaker, so there can be a lot of benefit for adding glute/hip strengthening or stability exercises alongside your muscle release routine.

You're right, you may notice different signs when open or closed chain, standing or lying down, etc. These were just 5 possible (and very common) signs chosen for this video. Tension in the iliacus inhibits the glutes, but they can also develop tension. Since tension in the iliacus pulls the femur into ER, that puts the deep 6 into a position where they also become tight. In our method, we have people treat tension in the hip flexors and deep 6 in the same session. And yes, there may be other tight spots in the rectus femoris or other anterior hip muscles that could be released.

Glad it was helpful!

We're sorry to hear that. Keep using ice on the area where you used the Orbit. Hopefully that continues to improve!

Improving strength in the hip extensors and hip internal rotators can absolutely help reduce and prevent tension from developing in the iliacus. However, if the iliacus is super tense to begin with, it pulls the pelvis into an anteriorly tilted position. This pelvic position closes off the space available to move into hip internal rotation and also makes reaching hip extension more challenging, which would make those exercises less effective. By releasing the tension first, you'll be able to better strengthen into internal rotation and extension because the pelvis will be in a good position to let the hip joint move effectively.

Lots of people have them!

Great! We're excited to hear about what you think. Reach out to us at hello@alethasupport.com if you have any questions about using the products.

If you don't have the Mark (Hip Hook), the best way to release the iliacus would be to see a practitioner for manual treatment. Releasing the back of the hip can be achieved using another massage therapy ball that you may have, or from a practitioner.

You're welcome!

We're happy to hear that this helped! Let us know how releasing the iliacus muscle helps your pain.

Apply pressure to the iliacus to help it relax/release first. After doing this, it will be much easier to stretch the hips and strengthen opposing muscles like the glutes, hamstrings, and core.

It appears that an IG reel or YT short video has replaced the original video. Sorry about that. The way we'd start to reduce hip bursitis pain is by first releasing the tension in the muscles around the hip (hip flexors, TFL, glutes, other deep hip rotators) that may be pulling on and irritating the bursa. This could be followed the stretches and strengthening exercises around the hips, glutes, and core.

Sure, try it out

Yes, releasing the QL or even the upper psoas attachment near the lumbar spine using the Mark is a very advanced technique.

The best way to know for sure is to get an assessment from a practitioner and have them tell you which side is more anteriorly rotated. Alternatively, you can try this self-assessment called the supine to sit test. Have a friend help you. ua-cam.com/video/PC6DZcQsiiY/v-deo.htmlsi=hPiux-aHx0dGvWFB&t=229 ***If you don't know which side it is or if the assessments are not conclusive, you can skip the realignment exercise

Tension and imbalances in the muscles around the lower back, hips, and pelvis can play a role in what leads to a pinched nerve and/or sciatic pain. If this is part of what's causing it for you, then our products like the Mark and the Orbit may help you, just as they've helped others with similar pain. It's best to consult your healthcare practitioner to see if our products are appropriate for you. They may share additional recommendations for how to best incorporate them into your recovery routine alongside other treatments, stretches and exercises.

There are currently no places where you can try our products in person first. The video you saw on social media showed us at a trade show, which we do 1-2x per year. Our two main products, the Mark and the Range, come with a 60-day money-back guarantee (US customers only) to help people try our products risk free.

The pressure may feel intense at first and may be uncomfortable, especially if you are very tight. This will get better over time. Check out our new how-to playlists on UA-cam or on our website (www.alethahealth.com) for more videos on how to use our products.

@@AlethaHealth thanks

@@AlethaHealth is it ok if I press against the hip bone or do I need to be further away towards the middle of my body to be effective

You can be closer to the bone or further. You will want to explore both to find where you are tight, and also be able to address both the psoas and iliacus muscles. The "release zone" has a wide range of space that you can apply pressure. Check out our video that walks you through understanding this region. ua-cam.com/video/bk9OLscKITM/v-deo.htmlsi=LWoi4pSgol4a17Nm

We're sorry to hear about this and hope you feel better soon. This is not a common experience after using the Mark and this will get better over time. Everyone's body responds differently to irritation of a nerve. Using ice on the area you applied pressure and taking some anti-inflammatories can help. Gentle stretches and movement (i.e. walking) can also be helpful. If you are concerned, please check with your healthcare practitioner for more help. You can also reach out to us at hello@alethasupport.com if you have any questions or need help returning your order for a refund.
