Frequently Asked Questions

What is the psoas?

A large, complex muscle deep in your core that connects from your lumbar spine to your legs, passing through your hips. It is directly related spinal health, hip mobility, gut health and more.

How is the Hip Helper made?

Using a fleet of 3D printers, we print Hip Helpers continuously. 3D printing works by adding melted layers of plastic on top of each other to fuse them together. Some printers are dedicated to printing the polyurethane base, a soft rubbery material. A hydraulic press is used to attach the base to the tool.

All Hip Helpers are printed, assembled, and shipped in the USA.

 

What if it doesn't work for me?

Some people experience immediate relief with the Hip Helper, while others have no idea if they're doing it right. If you experience back or hip pain, there is probably tightness in the psoas and iliacus that can be released. Try following the steps below:

1. Using a wall or the ground, place the tool at your belt line and closer to your hip bone than your belly button

2. Relax into the tool slowly and move it to find a tender or tight spot.

3. Paying attention to your breath, continue to apply pressure for 2-3 minutes or more as needed.
