Operating Instructions
The Hip Flexor & Psoas Release Tool V2 can be used in various positions to target deep hip flexor muscles. Always start with gentle pressure and gradually increase as comfort allows. Listen to your body and stop if you experience sharp pain.
- Positioning: You can use the tool while lying on the floor, leaning against a wall, or remaining seated. Choose a position that allows you to comfortably place the curved hook of the tool on the desired muscle area, typically around the hip flexors (iliacus and psoas).
- Modulating Pressure: Gently adjust your body weight to apply controlled, pinpoint pressure to the muscle. The goal is to find a point of tension or discomfort that is manageable, not painful.
- Breathing: Once positioned, breathe deeply and slowly. As you exhale, try to relax the muscle. Hold the position and continue breathing until you feel the muscle begin to release or relax. This may take several breaths or a few minutes.
- Movement (Optional): For some areas, gentle, small movements of the limb or torso can help deepen the release.
- Duration: Spend 30 seconds to 2 minutes on each side or muscle group, or as long as comfortable.
