Lumbar facet joint arthritis or pain

Tightness in the hip flexor muscles may contribute to lumbar facet joint pain or arthritis. Tension and imbalances can create too much arching in the pelvis and lower back, increasing compression of the facet joints and decreasing their ability to move smoothly.

If tension in these areas is contributing to your pain, here's how our products can help.
Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas muscles with precise pressure, helping restore a more neutral pelvis alignment
Orbit: releases the piriformis and other deep hip rotators in the glute region with broad pressure; can also be used to warm up the hip flexors before using the Mark
Band: helps strengthen key muscles around your core, glutes, and hips to create stability around a better alignment and reduce stress on the lower back

Book: our Founder's book Tight Hip, Twisted Core - The Key to Unresolved Pain offers deeper insights into muscle tension and how it is impacting your pain, helping you understand how to address the root cause

When used consistently over time, the Aletha Health products support less muscle tension, better alignment, and increased strength & stability. This combination has helped many people improve their lower back pain, and we hope it will help you too.

For best results, use the Aletha Health products together and alongside other stretches and exercises. Please check with your healthcare practitioner for which stretches and exercises are most appropriate for you.
