PSO-RITE is a game changer for cyclists with back pain

The PSO-RITE self massage tool helps cyclist reach their psoas muscle, and relieve pain by doing trigger point release therapy on their own body.

Even though cycling is an activity that offers so many health benefits, it can also promote bad postural habits, and cause shortening of some important muscles that will inevitably lead to pain in the body. One of the most common issues cyclists face is back pain. Some research on referral pain shows that up to 80% of back pain comes from tightness in the front of the body, causing imbalances and discomfort. This tightness often comes from the deepest muscle in the body, the PSOAS, which connects your upper body to your lower body.

Treating the Psoas muscle isn’t all that easy, and most people will go their entire lives without ever relieving the tension in their psoas. This means, living a less comfortable life overall. Because the Psoas muscle connects the upper body to the lower body, it is part of almost every movement an average human does on a daily basis. The issue that cyclists face is that when we ride our bikes for 2 hours or so, we do somewhere in the range of 8-10 repetitions of the pedal stroke. This high repetition movement, in what many would consider an unhealthy postural position, can lead to all kinds of long term problems.

Tight back, shoulders, neck, hip flexors, and a low muscular recruitment score in the pelvic region can be some of the common effects of an irritated psoas muscle. Finding relieve from pains with the root cause of the psoas can be difficult and most people won’t ever discover that it’s this deep rather unknown muscle causing the referral pain. This is why the simple design of the PSO-RITE tool is an absolutely genius invention. It’s also important to note that this is not a paid promotional article, this information comes after learning about this product from an Olympian, solving personal pain issues, and wanting to share it with anyone out there that may be experiencing similar problems.

6 Signs your Psoas is irritated

• Anterior pelvic tilt
• Low back pain
• Digestive issues
• Hip pain
• SI joint pain
• Knee Pain

The simplicity of the PSO-RITE is a beautiful thing. According to the inventory Mac Mollohan the PSO-RITE was designed to mimic the shape of a massage therapists hand, with the hardness of the elbow. This design allows people to use their own body weight pressure to shear the muscles. Most don’t know, but shearing the debris from the muscles keeps them from getting stuck to other muscles. This allows muscles to move freely and independently, the way they were designed. We have not seen another product on the market that can perform like the PSO-RITE does. The best part is, you just lay on it and relax, taking deep breathes allowing your body to point out the pain points that it wants to work through.

The human body is such an amazing tool, and being able to use your own body weight is our favorite thing about the PSO-RITE. We’ve probably all experienced a massage therapist grazing past a really sore area with just a little too much pressure that has us almost launching off the table. When you use your own body weight pressure to do self massage you can breath into the movement. This allows you to always apply the perfect amount of pressure because you are listening to your body until the pain is sheared away.

We originally tested the PSO-RITE to treat some tight hip flexors, but it’s now become part of an every day routine, before rides, after rides and it even comes to the gym as a device to clean up the muscles in between sets. If you’re a cyclist dealing with any back pain, hip pain, or any other type of muscular related pain we recommend that you pick yourself up a PSO-RITE today. They have a special offer on their website for cyclists right now.
