Pelvic Clock® Exercise Device for Hip & Lower Back Pain Relief

UPDATE 4/4/21 It's been over a year since I started my physical rehabilitation. I've come a long way. I've learned a lot. And I'm in better physical shape than at any other point in my life. I've still got some residual pains; some days I have aches, but most days I'm (almost literally) bouncing about like a roo. I sleep better, I have more energy, I feel better mentally. Most of that was just getting my core into shape. And the Pelvic Clock was a huge part of that, particularly early on when I was in the worst of my troubles. These days, I honestly don't use it that much. As other have pointed out: you don't need this to do pelvic clock exercises. This is only useful, really, for people with injuries and weakness: this helps support and guide your pelvis as you work at activating and using all those muscles that have probably atrophied. I can't recommend this enough for anyone who wants to improve or even maintain pelvic mobility and core strength, but has difficulty with the exercises. I especially recommend this for people on their own journeys of physical rehabilitation. For almost the first year of mine, I did most of my rehab on the floor, doing simple exercises, the Pelvic Clock being one them. (I binged all of ST:TNG, DSN, and most of Voyager in the process, which probably kept me on the floor longer than I needed to be!) For perspective, though, I should point out that I'm 41 now. That my weight has fluctuated over the years between rail-thin and a bit chubby – never ever really being in great shape, or at least actively and regularly maintaining it. By my mid-30s, I had let myself go. And then I had the souvenir hernia from my ancient appendectomy fixed and that became a bowel re-sectioning that gutted me pretty good. I was in bad shape and I never fully recovered. Until now. (But don't think it hasn't been a heck of a struggle to get here, even with the Pelvic Clock.) ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW (2/14/20) Yes, it's an expensive chunk of what looks like plastic (I think it's actually a really high grade polyurethane), but ask yourself: "how much did I spend on my last chiropractor or massage visit?" Because if you use this correctly and routinely, you will feel the difference no number of chiropractic visits or massages could offer. It takes a while -- it may be awkward at first -- weeks and weeks and weeks, even -- but as you start to loosen up and work all those muscles that are normally on DEFCON 1 to protect your out-of-shape-blob, you'll feel where once was pain, the rewarding burn of muscle! May not cure you, but core strength, to which this will also help you develop, will never do you wrong. Between this and a couple other core exercises, a foam roller to loosen tightness, uses of ice and heat packs, and simply pushing myself to walk every day, I have turned around what I could have just as well let rot me away for the rest of my life. I started with lower back pain and sciatica. A few months on, I have a fraction of the back pain (and it still seems to be getting better every day!) and the sciatica is lessening in severity, too.

I couldn’t recommend this product enough for someone with Lumbar issues. To those who say it didn’t work for them, that’s because you have to actually use it and do the exercises on a regular basis - it doesn’t work through osmosis. I’ve had excruciating back issues for years that make simply putting on socks and shoes unbearable and I felt like a 90 year old man from the loss of mobility. I finally got an MRI that revealed my L1 - L5 had protrusions, bulging discs, degenerative disease, spinal stenosis, and arthritis. My physician gave me condolences for the bad results as if I had stage 4 cancer and referred me to a neurosurgeon for major surgery. I asked him for a prescription for physical therapy instead and went to see a therapist I know who said he could help. My first day of therapy, they showed me the 12 to 6 pelvic exercise (just like with the pelvic clock) and that convinced me to purchase the pelvic clock which I came across while searching for exercises that supposedly could help with my issues. I started using it aggressively and very quickly I felt a difference. It’s not a one and done, you have to actually use it on a regular basis! I use it every day, sometimes a couple times a day for 15-20 minutes. THIS IS LIFE CHANGING! Three weeks of everyday usage in tandem with PT twice a week has already changed everything! Surgery will not be necessary, just continuing to use the pelvic clock daily after PT is concluded is all that’s needed. I just golfed 2 days in a row with no back issues, whereas I could only golf once a week prior, with major stiffness, pain, and agony for the next week as the price to be paid for such activity. I have referred several friends to the pelvic clock, one of whom was having major back spasms preventing him from golfing and he just told me he is using it 3 times a day, and it’s the best thing since sliced bread. I even showed it to my physical therapist and he said he is going to buy several for his practice! Buy it, use it daily, ice your back from time to time, it will change your life. Now, when I bend over to tie my shoes, I let out a painful grunt out of habit, but actually no longer have the pain and it doesn’t take 2 minutes to stand back up after bending over! Can’t recommend this device enough and completely dispute any inferences by lazy people that it doesn’t work - you just have to actually use it!

I purchased both this and the Sac Bowl to compare, since I saw quite a variety of opinions on both and couldn't decide from the listings and reviews alone. My takeaways: - Lower height/profile than Sac Bowl - Smaller diameter than Sac Bowl - Probably best suited for small framed individuals I expected the Pelvic Clock to be the winner as the first to market better-known product, but in the end I found that I got a better stretch for my tight QL from the Sac Bowl, so I returned the Pelvic Clock. That being said, I definitely think the Pelvic Clock could potentially the better choice for smaller framed individuals, as I can see how someone with a smaller pelvis might find the Sac Bowl uncomfortable due to its larger diameter sitting more onto the hip bones than directly supporting the sacrum. Your mileage may vary, but hopefully this review helps you land on the right product between the two!

I have had moderate to severe problems with my SI joint for well over the past few years. I tried doing exercises at home to no avail. I eventually went to PT with minimal improvement and lots of co-pays After doing research, I came across this pelvic clock. Research articles supported the exercises as well as this device. The reviews were also great. I know the device is expensive, but it is well worth it. The first day, I did 3 sets of all the exercises in the product brochure. I thought that maybe I was a bit better. The following morning, I thought I had better mobility In my SI joint and perhaps a little less pain. I continued to do the exercises, 3 sets of 10-15 reps. By day 3, wow!! Minimal pain and increased mobility! I could feel a difference going up and down the stairs and no pain rolling over in bed. I have been able to move better while working out at the gym. I can do more activity with less pain. I am not pain free…yet, but I am so much better! I was very hesitant to purchase this device because of the cost. I truly regret waiting so long to purchase the device! I highly recommend this! Finally, something that is giving me positive results!!

This was a good tool for mobilizing the sacrum. It is awkward to get settled on in. Though expensive, it is sturdy and help you to open up the lower lumbar and sacral areas, for me it did not illuminate the pain as I think my condition was complicated but the idea of mobilizing in all directions is a very good one.

overpriced gizmo for moves you can do without it

Ok I’ve been installing carpet for 25 years. My hip pelvis and back were hurting to the point I had to switch to repairing carpet. I don’t have insurance so I never got a real in-depth Diagnosis. I was told I had si joint dysfunction. I looked at this product periodically for months before pulling the trigger. I saw everyone saying in reviews it worked for them but thought it wouldn’t work me. It was very hard for me to pay the money they were asking. I’m so glad I did!!! I used this for maybe seven mins a day for a week. If you get this be patient, if your like me and haven’t used these muscles ever lol. It took me a few very frustrating secessions to make sure I wasn’t using my legs. Stick with it and you will get it. Before I could only stand for literally three mins or sit in car for about twenty five and my pain was so intense it could bring an involuntary tear to my eye. After twenty five mins in a car I looked like a question mark lol. (? All bent over) Now I’m about three months in and I only use it once a week when the pain starts to return. The pain is almost totally gone and if I used it more I’m sure it would be , but because of the absence of pain.. I forget too lol.. It’s absolutely amazing what this lil thing did!! I’m very grateful and hope my experience can help fellow carpet layers or anyone who’s thinking of buying this. I’m def no doctor and don’t know why exactly this worked for me but I just know it did! The pain I had was deep in my hip inside and out. It would radiate down outside of leg to my knee. Also had bad pain lower back all on my right side. I don’t know if this will work for you but if you are in the pain I was I hope you find a solution it is not easy being in that pain.

I never write reviews for anything. But I had to for this because it CHANGED MY LIFE. After following exercises, I felt immediate relief in hip flexors and back pain, which no amount of physical therapy assisted much with. In a matter of weeks was able to fix my anterior pelvic tilt by strengthening the right muscles. No amount of physical therapy has helped as much as the Pelvic clock. It gives great relief to tight and sore muscles, and allows your body to train and strengthen the correct ones for any body mechanic issue. Seriously one of the best purchases I’ve ever made of anything. Go to their website and learn more about the mechanics and science. Worth every penny.

Può essere utile ma rispetto al prezzo che ha sinceramente non me vale la pena. Provato quasi per un mese senza grandi risultati.

This really works - helps my SI joints to loosen

Bought as gift for partner. She is real positive about the clock which appears to help click her lower back into place. A simple device to use. Apparently saves her visiting the physio.

I hurt my back weight lifting which affected Si joint back in April I have had many chiropractors treatments and massages (sports) I read reviews with some saying how expensive this item is but thought I had nothing to loose because I had to try and sort this problem out I had PN entrapment and I couldn’t deal with nerve damage in my back which can result in effecting your nervous system it’s an awful condition and I just wanted to get better I purchased this in September and was eager to try it out I downloaded exercises and used towel as it suggests the first time I tried this I wanted to throw it in the bin !! The pain in my back was unbelievable and my legs wobbled and nerves felt like they were on fire so I really thought I’ve wasted my money …./ I then thought I would use this on the bed and just lie on it and try to relax each day I did this and now I am able to use this on hard floor and follow Si joint release program daily and it’s been the best piece of equipment ever You will feel uncomfortable to begin with but no more than If you go for a treatment and everyday it improves I have now moved onto next program for pelvis stability What I love about this it puts your pelvis and joints in right position to enable you feel it working band know you are strengthening the joints correctly You can download and print out all the exercises needed to improve the condition you may need suffering from or to improve the stability of your pelvis The customer service is amazing they will answer your emails really quickly and offer advice It says to use towel but I found that to bulky so I cut a small square off one of my yoga mats and that helped as it also kept it secure on my back when first starting Go slow take your time even if you just lay on it for a week and gently rock side to side and build up you will see results very quickly afterwards

Das Teil ist super bei Beckenschiefstand und Beckenverwringung bzw. ISG Schmerzen - natürlich immer in Kombi mit etwas Training der unteren Bauchmuskeln. Teuer, aber jeden Euro wert. Bei mir löst es endlich all meine jahrelangen Probleme, sodass meine Schmerzen endlich verschwinden und mir meine körperliche Arbeit nicht mehr schwer fällt. Mega.
