What are muscle knots? How can you finally get rid of muscle knots? (Hint: not just by stretching). Holistic PT Christine Koth explains why stretching is a shortterm solution for muscle knots, and how to apply pressure for longterm change instead.

Stretching can be helpful by increasing circulation and helping your brain to let go and realize your muscles can safely lengthen. But if you have a muscle knot, that muscle is going to tighten again shortly after stretching.

Even self massage, or rubbing a muscle, will not be able to release a muscle. Muscle knots need direct, prolonged pressure (longer than you think!) to release.

One of the places you may experience muscle knots (and not realize it!) is tight hip flexors. Because of the frequent overuse of these core muscles, psoas release, iliacus release, and hip flexor release in general is needed.

Not every muscle can be easily accessed to press and hold for 3090 seconds! That's exactly why I invented the Hip Hook.

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 longterm 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.
