Pso-Rite Review - Is it worth the cost

[@LordGrimlok]

As a Physiotherapist, I can say with confidence that we all like to cause pain. The hippocratic path is do no harm. Not do not hurt😁. This is a great tool for self treatment (if/when it's the psoas causing the problems). Thanks for all the videos Mark!

Sport, deep tissue, rehab massage therapist her for 19 years. I have been called a sadist many times.

[@matthewparsons6496]

I tell my physio she should have been a dentist.

[@yharnamiyhill787]

I spent 30 minutes on this tool. Alternating every 10 minutes. Besides the immediate physical and mental clarity, I had very vivid dreams. (Hadn't had that in years.) Perhaps the muscle tension store some memories or vise versa. Good tool. Got it for a discount.

[@webHead604]

I used to have a lot of low back pain from lifting. Tried for a while to go at it directly with a lacrosse ball not knowing it was my psoas the whole time. Got one of these things last year and it was LIFE CHANGING.

[@PerfectionHunter]

I got my Pro-Rite for $11 including shipping from AEX. Totally worth it. Hurts like a M073rfuk3r! But works wonders! I've had crippling back pain for years and this is loosening it up. It's the only thing that has ever helped.

[@michaelduke4500]

Yeah, finally someone else is on board with me concerning self-help with their psoas. I have been a massage therapist for 19 years now, and the psoas work is the most difficult for clients to endure. The only thing, some people who need psoas release cannot have deep pressure in the areas due to IBS or diverticulitis (left side). The lower area will make you cry uncle, so teaching the client to breathe through the discomfort is key for sure. Great instructions and visuals Mark!!!

[@iancable2863]

100%. Giving all of those low, medium, high positions some real time is key to powerful release and relief.

[@billybob1620]

Just got one (on sale). Worth every penny. Needed this years/decades ago

[@johnkenny6516]

I used a peanut I got for my lower back last year turned on its end for this. To be honest though, using kettlebells in the manner you teach had really helped minimise any discomfort I get in lower back and psoas regions. My core strength is better due to kbs than anytime in the past 30 years since I was a 20 something.

[@jodohead]

And thus we come back to... Hey Mark, can you please make a video (series?) on a good cooldown program. Not sure if it matters or not but, one good for KB's and clubs?

[@honkhonk1555]

For those who find it overly painful at first, you can add some soft rubber or foam to increase the surface area of the two arms until you adapt.

[@adrianacybele]

After a lifetime of injury I lean forward. Standing straight feels as though I’m falling backwards. My quads have shortened and my glutes don’t engage. I found the Pso-lite on KZbin and found a knock-off on Amazon that’s identical to my Physio’s Pso-lite. I paid $24.

[@TheDimskiy]

Finally got to try out my hydrocore yesterday. Much more load on the core when doing mills comparing to KBs or clubs. Will be getting back to it today. Thanks Mark!

[@rvdt4ever]

Adjustable DIY version for about 5 Euro (if you have some dumbbell plates and some clamps). Go to a DIY store and buy a short wooden bar with the same diameter as a dumbbell bar (dumbbell bar is too wide, can’t get plates close enough together). In the middle of the bar put 1-3 dumbbell bar clamps (depending on the width you want the plates to be apart). Attach a dumbbell plates on each side and lock up with a clamp on each side. Because the width is adjustable, I think it’s more versatile.

[@vicsophios4703]

Never ever have I come across this. Amazing, as I sit driving a bus all day this might come in handy. Thanks Mark.

[@MarkWildman]

Glad to help

[@satchycollins3985]

Thanks for the information

[@saraphillips1038]

I just got this in the mail today. I am very excited to use that this looks like a great tutorial thank you! I have been hunting over and dealing with a tight psoas for so long I really didn’t think you could possibly do anything to help it but I am so looking forward to some relief

[@judithsanders9801]

Will try this- my psoas problems developed after a long recovery from back surgery. The post-surgery physical therapy was only variation on ab work.

Just got mine today. So hoping it gets rid of the pain am in at the moment. Thanks for the upload.

[@bankuei]

I had been seeing the ads for these and wasn't sure if they were a good piece of kit, so thank you for the review!

[@danielholliman8244]

Wow. I dislocated my knee nearly 20 years ago and still unconsciously put my weight down through my good leg most of the time. This may be beneficial for me and compliment my daily KB practice. Thank you!

[@j.scottparish7994]

Out'fucking'standing Wildman ! I'm ordering said tool today ... Multiple combat deployments as a military operator & I desire to keep in the game as long as possible ... As we both know, the only easy day was yesterday ... TOML

[@PeterBrown-sn2ds]

I had 3 Muay Thai fights in Thailand only starting to exercise doing so properly in my 40's. SO I would guess a very tight Psoas. What you talk about the massage therapist doing with their hands is exaclty what a lot of Thai trainers will do to you screaming Kaliman! It put me through the roof. You are right it sucked big time, but I felt great after. I just ordered a Pso-rite today. Thanks for the great review 🙏

[@josephanderson6521]

Very helpful and informative. Thanks!

well done. what a steal. they did not know what it is. just be quiet and don't celebrate until you own it.

[@montemag]

I am very interested in purchasing this product BUT I have seen some off-branded ones that are Battery controlled? What effect do the battery-controlled items have that the manual ones do not? Please advise.- The Pso-rite is about twice as expensive as the battery powered generic ones. There are also manual ones that are generic and are also half the cost. Does it matter if I purchase the off brand item whether manual or battery controlled?

[@davebond7380]

Thanks Mark

[@5214428]

Ive had no luck with any of there products. I later discovered in a Myofascial course that tennis balls are about as hard as you want to go. The nervous system simply won’t allow change with hard plastic jabbed into your body. 4/4 breathing is key also

[@antonomaseapophasis5142]

This does sound super good, but I am not even sure I own a psoas. From the description it, or they, sound like standard issue. Perhaps I should get more acquainted with... myself.

[@ericharrelson9621]

Is this something that will work for overweight people too? I have problems in those areas, but also have a gut, so I’m not sure how accessible the muscle will be 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Jan-i1d8p]

I wonder if the pso rite could not be dangerous to cause an inguinal hernia?

Is this device ‘one size fits all’? Some advocate doing one side at a time to position in the optimum spot, but I would rather do it the way you demonstrate, if it doesn’t matter about the side to side positioning? Well done great video. Well, spoken and good enthusiasm. !

One size can not fit all, use it on one side at a time for a smaller frame.

[@DIYToPen]

3D printed one of these, because f their prices. I have never been confident as to where my psoas actually is though, so I mainly use it for other muscle groups. The glutes especially. My 3d printed one can split in two also which can be convenient.

[@TheSwayzeTrain]

Pso is it worth it or not?

[@marekjaskiewicz3145]

I dont know but pressing and messing up with the intestines can be risky, maybe for some people this works, how can I know if it is relevant for me? Back pain can have many different causes. In order to reach the psoas you need to go through the abs, fat, intestines (appendix!, colon! if you go to far down or something), arteries, oh and the nerves that come out of the lumbar spinal cord to left and right down to legs etc. I just tried it today first time and it feels odd, did not get any release or anything but my gut now is quite sore.This is not for everybody and doing it on your own could be potentially unhealthy, better to go to professional.

[@mattsailor4966]

@@moneybags183 i only use it about once a week now when needed. I havent been as active since id had chronic SI joint pain. Which i found this to actually help but not cure it. Ive had to do stabilizing exercises and lay off the running. But this is a god send if you run, hike or are overly active because it truly is a hard muscle to reach.

The best way to use this is with one of the points at a time. Lay flat over one point on one side and move the leg on that side back and forth. This also has the benefit of making this one size fits all. Check out Pso-Rite's IG for videos on this.
