@@BestMassageTech- Do you still use it on occasion? I have been flooded with ads for it over the last 3 to 6 weeks and am 99% sure that it is supposed to address what I would need.
I use the corner of my kitchen counter to lean into and release this area. May be a good start for people who can’t afford the device. I’m no expert on this at all, but thought I would share in case it could help someone.
This makes a lot of sense I have lower left back pain on the bone part. I told the doc I also have pain on the front like a groin pull but doesn't feel like the groin. He checked me for a hernia and made no mention of iliac.
After almost a year of agonizing pain in my hips and leg, repeated visits to chiropractors and PT, the hip hook has finally solved the problem for me. It was expensive but worth every penny. Thanks for a great “how to” video on this product!
Personally I’ve found the hip hook to work for me. I have a spasm/pain in hip and I get instant relief. I’ve only been using it for 2- 3 weeks. It definitely takes some getting use to because it’s not comfortable at all and causes pain at first plus soreness for a couple days after. But stick with and keep working at it. It gets easier and less uncomfortable the more you use it. I find it brings almost immediate relief and I’m hoping with consistent use over a longer period I’ll see lasting results 👍
@@mozingoames i wanna thank you soooooooo sooo sooooo sooo sooo soo x infinity for telling me about it. i stumbled upon zero pain now tms method by adam heller and my twisted pelvis is pretty much cured now
The hip hook completely resolved my knee pain. I had pain under my right kneecap for over a year. I visited a PT and a separate specialist and neither helped. After tons of foam rolling and stretching exercises I was about to give up until I found her tool and decided I’d give it a try. My kneecap pain is completely gone after about 2 weeks of use. The $200 is entirely worth having my life back and being able to use it whenever I want!
My issues started when I got pregnant 23 years ago. I’ve never been able to fix it after so many adjustments & massages! Got the entire kit and a free ball during the Black Friday sale!
@@shykoala4 I have noticed a difference. I will say, it isn’t comfortable to use at first. As I walk the trails in the snow, I feel MUCH less pain in my hip/butt, so yes, I am already seeing improvement!
I just bought one and it arrived today. They must have changed things because now it is just the hip hook in the box and that’s it. No more carrying case or manual. There’s a QR code to scan to get the manual.
I didn't get the bag... am finding this is helping me a lot. My SI joint was at a pain level of a 10. My chiro released my psoas and illiacus and I use this between appointments. My SI joint is a 0 most days. Also a Teeter inversion table has helped.
I'm 36 years old. I played soccer in college and had my kids about 8 years ago. I stopped pretty much all exercise when we had the kids. About a year ago I picked up soccer again and have been working though different issues. I've been able to resolve just about everything on my own through stretching and strengthening.. but one thing I just haven't been able to figure out. Lots of lower back and hip pain. I keep going to the chiropractor and its a temporary fix. The pain always comes back after a week or 2. I just watched this video and now things are making so much more sense. You described pretty much every issue I'm seeing. I feel just "off"- nothing seems aligned and I can tell it's causing my issues. Ive just ordered this and I'll give a go- I honestly thought I was going to have to stop playing so I can feel normal during the days. Hoping it works
so I have a L4-5 herniated disc and this thing is absolutely excrutiating to use. First time felt literally like a knife going into your hip I would say pain scale would be an 7/10 with a 10 akin to a chainsaw to the face. I have chronic pain with left sided radiculopathy so my tolerance is pretty high but this thing is just something else. Also bruised the living shit out of me...so far have zero relief of pain and just a whole lot of frustration and additional pain using this thing.
Ew. Sorry to hear. Some of the PRI exercises have helped me a bit. There's a guy named Neal who has a PRI channel and his earliest videos explain a lot of what may have caused our injuries to begin with. Good luck.
Love the video, but I wanted to correct one piece of information. The iliacus does NOT go from the spine to the front of the hip. The Psoas goes from the spine to the hip, where it joins the iliacus which lays on the inside part of the hip known as the ilium. When the psoas and iliacus come together in the hip they become known as iliopsoas and attach on the front, outside part of the hip.
I just purchased the Mark or HipHook and the Aletha Orbit ball. I'm happy with both products although I was a little tentative and confused about using the HipHook. After watching your video, it helped me to better understand how to use it. I would certainly appreciate an updated video on the use of both, it was truly helpful.
I was able to use it effectively exactly one time. Yes I watched the instructions and it seems to help but it has been well over a week since my first use and all the tissue surrounding that area hurts. The skin feels like it is being burned every time I try to use it now so I can't effectively us it without being in severe pain. I am also assuming it has caused internal bruising around that area since it all hurts and not in a good way. Furthermore at $200 (yes, if you aren't already aware this device costs $200) it is Overpriced in a way that I really don't understand. Its not made with rare earth metals or space age materials so why is it so expensive? I could maybe see a PT clinic having one of these but when considering the price, effectiveness and potential for injury I would steer clear of this. On the brightside, you can return it so if you don't mind putting $200 up as collateral so you can "test" the device you might as well give it a shot. P.S. were you compensated to review this? I don't see anywhere on your channel or this video stating that you aren't compensated for reviews. Just hoping for some transparency here. Thanks!
My question is that when you are releasing your psoas you normally bend the knees in supine to relax the rectus ab and psoas. When you are on your belly and your legs are stretched down (possibly pointed toes) you are stretching your psoas to the max (for general public) How ever do you get to the illiacus in that position with all those stretched stuff covering it? This is an honest, curious question. Thank you!
Great video I just got the Mark a few days ago very disappointed in the cost of this product. Your video helped me find the proper spots to put the hook. I had no idea of the proper location of these two muscles talked about in the video. First time using it After watching this video worked out great I’m planning a long trip. Will the airlines or TSA let you carry one of these tools in your carry-on bag on an airplane? I do not want to check any baggage. Hopefully I can bring this with me. I’m going to be gone for five months.
solid review. i see in the hip hook videos, they recommend lying on a ball after - did you find that to be helpful and have you reviewed their product called the orbit?
Thanks, your video help me locate the muscles. I was able to apply pressure with two fingers and seems to do the trick. Any reason doing this cant achieve the same results?
Does this help with sciatic pain in the hip “area”? My right hip has been in constant pain for months. Sometimes manageable while other times I have to ice. But always there.
Just ordered this hook and a pso rite cause of sciatic pain. I tweaked my back doing bjj and then had to go work laying brick. So double whammy. Saw a chiro while out of town and he hurt me and I had sciatic pain 1st time ever. I spent all week reading. So got new stretches and exercises to do. And found out about these tools. Should help . My hips are tight from wrestling and pulling on hips putting pressure on sciatic nerve. I got 80 percent better just massaging deeply and stretches for psoas
Could you go into more detail about what you meant with the back being related to toe pain? My right tip of toe is killing me and trying to understand if it's from my back. Thank you.
thanks for the great video...I play golf, hike and mountain bike...my biggest problem with golf is hip turn because of tightness...do you think this device would help? thank you!
Very likely. Keep up with basic stretching and mobility work. Yoga will be great for golfing. But the illiacus and psoas are hard to release without something like this. I haven’t gotten one yet, but probably will.
Don't know if you're going to see this, but your comment about martial arts prompted me to write this. I think I do have an illio-psoas problem but my pain spot is different. From a standing position, lift one knee to 90° perpendicular to the floor, my pain spot is right at the fulcrum of my thigh & my body. In other words, it is closer to my groin than to my upper hip bone. I don't know if I'm explaining correctly. I got this pain from repeated leg lifts & kicking. Is that the illio-psoas muscle & can this thing help me?
I had a total hip replacement last April (almost one year ago), will there be a problem by using the hip hook? I have extreme shooting pain in front of hips, and around to back of hip every time I stand from a sitting position, but goes away as soon as I start walking. Do you think this is from those exact muscles being tight?
I’m not a medical professional in any capacity but it does sound like a possibility that you’re iliacus is playing a role based on the pain you’re experiencing
I have the Pso-Rite and it's a completely different feeling! The initial just laying on the device feels similar, but once you activate the hook portion it feels like it's doing so much more, which it is because its an entirely different muscle that the pso-rite can't get to.
I do running and I almost didn’t finish my last race cause of hip pain. Took couple months off and slowly brought it back and it’s good now but in offseason training. Went to the gym and did two abductor movements. One where you squeeze these pads in towards each other bringing knees together and that was good. Then I did the opposite way where your push them away towards your butt, when I did that I had the instant pain in the side of my hip with little to no weight. This hip hook goes into the front of your hip, I have pain on the other side of the hip?
Great video thank you my question is most of my problems seems to be on the left side of my hip does it hurt to do both sides of the hip or is it recommended thank you
It’s a little less versatile than the pso rite as with that you can use it on other parts of your body but for specifically targeting the psoas and iliacus, this is way better.
Thanks for the video! I really need something like this, but I find the price to be quite absurd. Do you think I would benefit from the Pso-Rite alternative? There are a ton of cheaper versions of this, but I'd want to know if it'll even target the same area or I'm just wasting my time with it.
I love the pso rite and use it almost weekly for lower back pain caused by my psoas but it’s important to understand these tools target slightly different areas - can only target your psoas with the pso-rite.
Wow...such a shame its sooo expensive. She obviously is more interested in getting rich than helping people. Surely she coule have still made an amazing profit selling these at 50 each right?? Wt actual..
The iliacus does NOT attach to the spine! It connects the ilium to the femur. And you are definitely not targeting your iliacus when you are working superiorly to the ASIS up near the lower ribs. This is all so wrong.
Finally someone that calls it - I bought this device and it does absolutely NOTHING for your psoas. Yes, you can hit the iliacus, but guess what? You can do that just as well with your own hand, and the same goes for the psoas itself, though I found a PSO-Rite decent if you want to use body weight. Another issue I take with this device is that they never tell your how to distinguish between the inguinal ligament and the surrounding muscle groups, so there's a good chance folks are just jamming this device right into connective tissue, or even worse, the femoral vein & artery.
@@kroojinder Yes, I've used this and did find it great for getting at my iliacus, but not that much better than a lacrosse ball. For my psoas i just use my hands. (Or if I'm lucky, the hands or elbows of a pro)
I have a herniated disc and everytime I go to the chiro he tells me that my sacroilliac is out. I have a lot of pain in my back which also shoots down my legs. Will this help relieve my pain and spend less time and money at the chiro?
I'm not a medical professional so please don't take anything I say as medical advice, but I believe your chiro is likely referring to your SI joint, which is the point where your spine and pelvis meet - you likely feel pain when you sit up from a chair if you have issues with this. Your iliacus stabilizes this joint and could very well be at the root of your issues. The Hip Hook has a 60-day guarantee so I see no harm whatsoever in seeing if this resolves some of your issues and saves you from future trips to the chiropractor!
@@dapinkcat Thank you 😊. Sometimes nothing beats human touch! Although for some people it’s really difficult (depending on their size) to get that pressure on themselves!
@@sandrabrown9127 I have one. If you are consistent in your approach it helps to relieve lumbar pain from sitting too much, tight hip flexor/quad complex, etc. The key is everyday use, to see true effects. Does it replace an aggressive hip flexor stretch with glute drive? No. I say aggressive as in back leg foot propped up on couch, chair, bar in a rack, etc., down leg rest right above knee on ground, good upright posture from there, and glute drive of down leg. If you can do all of that for 30-60 sec with glute drive you are good to go. All of that is tough for most people, so this modality can offer some benefit. You also have to enjoy pain to an extent. If you are not a fan of trigger point work then this is not for you.
the iliacus goes from the spine to your hip? no it does not. maybe review your anatomy before making a video the iliacus goes from the crest of your pelvis to the upper femur
In this video I incorrectly called the A.S.I.S., the ASIS. Each letter is pronounced individually!
But you still don't know what the iliacus is
I'm still laughing about "you might feel like your skin is tearing" lol omg funny and true. p.s. not laughing at you this is a good review thank you.

Yes it goes into the front of your hip but the muscle attaches toward the back of your pelvis so your pain could very well stem from the iliacus.

Wow...such a shame its sooo expensive. She obviously is more interested in getting rich than helping people. Surely she coule have still made an amazing profit selling these at 50 each right?? Wt actual..
The iliacus does NOT attach to the spine! It connects the ilium to the femur. And you are definitely not targeting your iliacus when you are working superiorly to the ASIS up near the lower ribs. This is all so wrong.
Finally someone that calls it - I bought this device and it does absolutely NOTHING for your psoas. Yes, you can hit the iliacus, but guess what? You can do that just as well with your own hand, and the same goes for the psoas itself, though I found a PSO-Rite decent if you want to use body weight. Another issue I take with this device is that they never tell your how to distinguish between the inguinal ligament and the surrounding muscle groups, so there's a good chance folks are just jamming this device right into connective tissue, or even worse, the femoral vein & artery.
@@kroojinder Yes, I've used this and did find it great for getting at my iliacus, but not that much better than a lacrosse ball. For my psoas i just use my hands. (Or if I'm lucky, the hands or elbows of a pro)
@@notlilyspears that's good if you know what you are doing! :)
I have a herniated disc and everytime I go to the chiro he tells me that my sacroilliac is out. I have a lot of pain in my back which also shoots down my legs. Will this help relieve my pain and spend less time and money at the chiro?
I'm not a medical professional so please don't take anything I say as medical advice, but I believe your chiro is likely referring to your SI joint, which is the point where your spine and pelvis meet - you likely feel pain when you sit up from a chair if you have issues with this. Your iliacus stabilizes this joint and could very well be at the root of your issues. The Hip Hook has a 60-day guarantee so I see no harm whatsoever in seeing if this resolves some of your issues and saves you from future trips to the chiropractor!
FYI, I saw a video today from the founder of Hip Hook where she explicitly states the iliacus is the cause of SI joint pain.
Using my thumbs is better than the tool! Not kidding. Great vid
@@dapinkcat Thank you 😊. Sometimes nothing beats human touch! Although for some people it’s really difficult (depending on their size) to get that pressure on themselves!
Take a shit every time he says tight Iliacous 🍻
That's coach Greg's intro with different colors
Yep, we used the same guy on Fiverr
The price is a joke. You can use your thumbs and a small ball to achieve similar results.
The end of a cane
Had me until 200 bucks. That's wild.
Obviously a paid reviewer.
I cannot find any review for this item that is not part of their marketing strategy.
@@sandrabrown9127 I have one. If you are consistent in your approach it helps to relieve lumbar pain from sitting too much, tight hip flexor/quad complex, etc. The key is everyday use, to see true effects. Does it replace an aggressive hip flexor stretch with glute drive? No. I say aggressive as in back leg foot propped up on couch, chair, bar in a rack, etc., down leg rest right above knee on ground, good upright posture from there, and glute drive of down leg. If you can do all of that for 30-60 sec with glute drive you are good to go. All of that is tough for most people, so this modality can offer some benefit. You also have to enjoy pain to an extent. If you are not a fan of trigger point work then this is not for you.
@@sandrabrown9127 I have the Hip Hook. It has been more helpful than the Pso-Rite and a foam tool designed for the same purpose.
How is it obvious?
you're obviously a horribly negative person
@9:28
200$? That is ridiculous! Not something us regular people can afford
no bunny on one end? lol
200$?
This company is price gouging. That toy is $200…
👍
Did you steal your intro from @gregdoucette or the other way around?
@@mandelbrotm619 haha I’ve heard this comment a lot over the years. Mine is from an editor on Fiverr so guessing his is as well 😂
Price gouging for sure
It is over over overpriced
Is this paid content?
the iliacus goes from the spine to your hip? no it does not. maybe review your anatomy before making a video
the iliacus goes from the crest of your pelvis to the upper femur
Profits over health disgusting.
$199
This doesn’t seem like a review, more like a how to. Paid content
