Do you know that sharp searing pain you get sometimes when you bend over to pick something up? You cringe, your breath gets short and you wonder what is causing it. Or your posture just isn’t what it used to be? Or do you find that you just don’t move the way you once could?

I hear you, I’ve been there too and millions of other people suffer from lower back and pinched sciatica pain every day. During those terrifying moments, cowering through the pain, makes you feel weak, helpless, and confused. And what’s worse, is that most people have no idea what’s causing the pain or what to do about it.

Psoas Muscle Back Pain

In this article, we will take a closer look at one of the largest and most important postural muscles in the body that helps us achieve many everyday movements. For example, we use this muscle when we lift our legs while walking or running. We also use it when we jump, sit upright or perform any kind of movement that involves flexing at the hip… the psoas (pronounced so-as).

A tight psoas muscle can cause back pain, hip pain, and knee pain. It can also contribute to a hunched back and a rounded shoulder posture. The psoas muscle is attached to the lower spine and attaches to the upper thigh bone. A tight psoas muscle can pull the spine out of alignment, while also pulling the hips out of alignment leading to a forward tilt of the pelvis or “swayback”. It’s like a bowstring that connects the upper body to the lower body.

You’ve probably never even heard of it but if this muscle is weak or tight, it can cause a wide range of health problems. Some that most people don’t even realize are related to their psoas!

Its function is to support the spine, pelvis, and internal organs and is the primary hip flexor. It’s easy to see how this often-overlooked internal muscle can have a huge effect on how you feel throughout the day and it’s one of the first things doctors check when someone comes in complaining about low back pain. When this muscle gets tight or weak, it pulls the spine out of alignment and causes back pain. And can also cause extra stress on your organs.

Unfortunately, the psoas muscle is extremely tight and shortened in people who sit a lot. Of course, everyone sits too much these days, commuting and hashing out reports at their desks. And the pandemic sure hasn’t helped by forcing many people to stay home, camped out on their couch binge-watching their favorite shows. Thanks, a lot pandemic!

If you have psoas muscle back pain, you’ve probably tried some type of psoas release stretch and may have even achieved some temporary relief. But the psoas is often overlooked when it comes to stretching, strengthening, and recovery programs.

A Unique Psoas Release Massage Tool

What if you could target your psoas muscle with a tool that massages the deep tissue in the comfort of your own home or on the go? A tool specifically made for psoas muscle release? And only takes 5–10 mins a day?

Drum roll, please! I’d like to introduce the Turqezra Psoas Stretcher. This tool is designed for psoas release for low back pain. And wow, I have to say that after just a few days of using the psoas stretcher, my hips and lower back are starting to loosen up and feeling much better.

What makes this psoas stretcher so unique for psoas release back pain are the 14 finger-like nubs that stay on the trigger points like a Shiatsu Chiropractor. It’s like psoas release acupuncture! The 14 nubs are symmetrically arranged on both sides with a space in the middle to protect your spine.

Another design feature of this psoas stretcher is that one side is lower than the other enabling you to stretch the lower and upper muscles. This feature effectively produces a back traction effect.

How the Psoas Stretcher Works

It works by using your body weight to create a compression massage that can break up adhesions, which are bands of painful connective tissue, and relieve pain from muscle tension, fibromyalgia, and piriformis syndrome.

It’s simple to use, just place the massager under your glutes, lower back, or mid to upper back. You can lay on top of it and relax or if you want a more intense massage you can gently rock your body on top of it. If the large finger-like nubs are too much for you, just flip it over and use the smaller acupuncture-like nubs.

The psoas stretcher is extremely comfortable and made of an odorless EVA material. The pressure point nubs are highly resilient and sturdy and do not cause any discomfort like other products made from wood or plastic.
