How muscle tension impacts stress

Muscle tension caused by stress shows up in two main places in the body: the pelvis and the base of the skull. Holding tension in these regions can also make it harder to manage stress by inhibiting the response of your parasympathetic nervous system: the part of your body that manages stress, slows your breathing and heart rate, and returns your system to a healthy, sustainable balance.
The iliacus and the psoas make up what is commonly called your “hip flexor.” Tight hip flexors twist the body and can create low back pain, hip pain, and even neck pain. Psoas release and illiacus release can help reduce stress and resulting muscle tension in your body. Because our minds and bodies are intricately connected, by taking care of these areas of your body you are optimizing your mental health and providing relief your body needs!

Created by a physical therapist, the Hip Hook is the world’s first tool designed for psoas release AND iliacus release. Just a few minutes a day with the Hip Hook can provide long-term pain relief to the lower back, hips, tailbone, knees, and feet. Tightness in the iliacus and psoas is directly connected to many different kinds of pain throughout the body because its tightness rotates the pelvis and twists the body out of alignment.
