Tightness in muscles like the iliacus, psoas, and deep hip rotators can contribute to pelvic floor pain because they share a close anatomical connection to the pelvic floor. When tight and imbalanced, these muscles can pull the pelvis out of alignment and increase strain on the pelvic floor, which can affect the nerves and the muscles involved in the health of your bowel, bladder, and reproductive systems.
If tension in these muscles are contributing to your pain, here's how our products can help.
Mark: releases the iliacus and psoas (hip flexor) muscles with precise pressure
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 and reduce tightness and pain
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 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.
