Tightness in the iliacus and psoas muscles can contribute to SI joint pain. These muscles attach directly to your lumbar spine, pelvis, SI joint, tailbone, and hips. When tight or there are imbalances side to side, these muscles can pull and twist these areas out of alignment. This creates more tightness around the lower back and pelvis and can irritate or cause pain in the SI joints.
The Mark is designed to apply pressure to the iliacus and psoas muscles to reduce tightness. When used consistently over time, the Mark can help support an improved alignment of the pelvis and SI joints into a more neutral and balanced position. This can give the SI joints and the surrounding muscles a better chance to heal, reducing your pain.
For best results, the Aletha Health products should be used together and alongside other stretches and exercises. Please check with your healthcare practitioner for which stretches and exercises are appropriate for you.
