I can't believe how well this worked!
My massage therapist recommended this. I was having horrible problems with my hip. I used this twice and I am a new person! I haven't had to use it since.

Great Psoas Tool
I drape a multi-folded yoga blanket across the top of the two wedges to soften and spread the weight of the lower torso over the wedge. PLEASE, BE CAREFUL, you can easily hurt yourself. It helps if you are working with a professional who can teach and guide you when, where and how to release the entire illiopsoas complex. First, I place the wedges just above and inside the ASIS, then just below. I only use the breath, never muscle force! Usually, I keep my legs straight with toes turned under; arms crossed with head on my forearm, or on a second blanket. If that is too strong, try putting your weight onto bent forearms and your head up a bit. I am looking for a vertical lengthening, a horizontal widening, and a three dimensional spreading into the pelvic bowl, only using the breath. Please take it very easy, as an overstreched psoas can create problems that you don't want, including lower back aches and weakness lifting the front spine. That said, I love this tool but use it very sparingly. Less is more. Good luck!

No back pain!
This is so basic but it works. Relieved my back pain by releasing my psoas muscles. That said a hard medicine ball does that same thing and is cheaper so consider that before spending money on this unitasker.

Effective
Perfect perch for cat loafing. Also, helpful in reducing muscle tension in people. I’ve found that it’s effective for releasing tension in the psoas muscles (extends from T-12 to femur on either side- ie lower back). If you’re experiencing tightness, especially from an imbalanced running gait or weightlifting, something like this will be really helpful.

does not really work
I've tried this item out many times in the months that I've had it. I did try to return it and was not able to. I took it to the gym and tried it out with other women in my class who have hip issues. No one really gets what it's supposed to do and our two teachers at the gym including my yoga teacher says that it's just a big plastic waste of money.

Good for pronation
I got this because after a long bout of plantar fasciitis, I ended up with pronation and that deep pain in just one hip. I’ve been going to the chiropractor regularly, but it wasn’t helping as much as I’d like. Then I got this and researched how I should be sleeping, and the pain eased within days… after months of agony. I was sure this thing would not work for me, but it really does help when you have the deep hip and butt cheek pain. I lay on it with it digging deep in my butt cheek until I feel the muscle release, then I shift and shift again until the whole area feels released. For now, this is an ongoing battle since my foot isn’t completely healed yet and I keep walking incorrectly.As for sleeping position, if you have the hip pain and butt cheek pain, you want to sleep on your side with one leg over a pillow and the other leg straight. When you flip sides, the leg your weight is on should be straightened with your leg thrown over the pillow. It keeps you from overextending your hips and helps keep your neck from twisting too far. Usually I’m a stomach sleeper, but the pain finally beat me into being a side sleeper. A pillow really helps, the fatter the better.
