That feeling when the iliacus finally lets go.

The iliacus sits on the inside surface of your pelvis, quietly holding tension that most people have carried for years without knowing it was there. It rotates the pelvis. It loads the SI joint. It shuts down the glute. It compresses the lumbar spine from the inside.

And when it releases, your whole body remembers what it feels like to move without bracing.

That’s what has spent 25+ years chasing for every person who walks in with pain they can’t explain. Today she’s celebrating her birthday, and this is genuinely how it feels every time it works. 🎂🎉

Find your iliacus. Lie on the Hip Hook™. Breathe. Hold 90 seconds. Do the dance.

Yes, it can feel intense at first. That’s not the Hip Hook™ hurting you. That’s your muscle telling you it has been holding for a long time.

Here’s what Christine explains: when you apply direct pressure to a tight muscle, your brain initially fires pain signals. That’s a normal response to compression on a contracted area. It’s not damage. It’s communication.

But here’s what changes everything: if you stay with it, keep breathing, and let the pressure hold for 30 to 90 seconds, the brain reads the sustained signal differently. It stops interpreting the pressure as a threat. It starts signaling the muscle fibers to release.

The intensity softens. The muscle lets go. That’s not coincidence. That’s the nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do when it finally feels safe.

The rule: it should feel like a “hurts so good” sensation. Intense is okay. Bracing, holding your breath, or sharp pain means back off and find a gentler angle.

The pain at the start isn’t a red flag. It’s confirmation you found the right spot.

When 1,300+ clinicians trust a tool and an MD calls it out by name, that’s worth paying attention to.

The Hip Hook™ (Mark®) was designed by a physical therapist to reach the iliacus and psoas directly. Not approximate the area. Not roll over it. Get there precisely, at the angle required, and hold the pressure long enough for the nervous system to release.

That’s what mimics what a skilled manual therapist does in a session. And that’s what most people have never been able to do on their own, until now.

Trusted by clinicians. Backed by data. Designed for daily use at home.

The Hip Hook comes with a free Orbit and iPhone companion app.*

There are so many habits you could build. Breathwork. Morning routines. Cold plunges. Supplements. The list is endless.

After 20 years as a physical therapist, has spent her career doing one thing: distilling it down to what’s actually most potent.
Her answer? The most overlooked piece isn’t a new habit to add. It’s the thing most people have never addressed at all.

Muscle tension.

Not flexibility. That’s different. Muscle tension is a muscle that stays partially contracted even when you’re at rest. It weakens the body, alters your biomechanics, limits your range, strains your nervous system, and quietly drains your energy from the inside out.

And unlike most health habits, releasing it doesn’t take hours. The front of your hips, the back of your hips, your neck and shoulders. These are the key areas Christine targets. 15 minutes. The muscles that matter most. That’s the protocol.

When the tension holding your body back finally lets go, consistency gets easier. Energy follows.

25 years as a chiropractor. Still had back pain.

That’s Rob. And when a chiropractor, someone who has spent a career adjusting spines and understanding the musculoskeletal system, tells you there was a piece he was missing, it’s worth paying attention to.

The piece was the iliacus. The deep hip flexor that lives on the inside surface of your pelvis and doesn’t get addressed by adjustments alone. When it holds chronic tension, it pulls the pelvis out of alignment and the adjustment can only hold until the muscle wins again.

Now Rob travels with the Hip Hook™ (Mark®) everywhere. And when a patient, a friend, or anyone tells him their back hurts, it’s the first thing he recommends.

That’s 25 years of clinical context pointing at a muscle most practitioners never touch.

Most hip pain tools press down on the muscle.

The Hip Hook™ (Mark®) presses in and at an angle. That difference is everything.

The iliacus lives on the inside surface of your pelvic bone. It can’t be reached by pressing straight down. A ball gets the psoas. A foam roller gets the psoas. But the iliacus AKA the deeper, more stabilizing muscle, requires that precise 45-degree angle to access the inner face of the pelvis where it attaches.

Here’s how the Hip Hook works: you lie on your stomach and let your body weight settle onto the tip, which presses into the psoas first. Then, using the lever handle, you rotate the tip toward the inside of your pelvic bone and directly contacting the iliacus. You hold that pressure for 60 to 90 seconds.

At first it’s intense. That’s the muscle saying it’s been holding for a long time and doesn’t want to let go. Around 30 seconds in, your nervous system recognizes it’s safe, and the muscle starts to soften.
That neurological release is what makes the difference between temporary relief and an actual change in resting tension.

Five exercises. One band. Fifteen minutes.

Most glute work fails for the same reason, and the body finds a way to cheat. The Band makes cheating expensive. Press out against it the whole time and the right muscles have to show up.

Save this set for your next warm-up or mobility block:

01 — Glute Bridge · 12 reps
02 — Clam Shells · 15 / side
03 — Banded Squat · 12 reps
04 — Glute Kickback · 10 / side
05 — Side Plank Reach · 30 sec / side

Two rounds. Rest 30 seconds between exercises. The goal isn’t burn — it’s tension in the right places.

The Band is the missing piece between mobility work and strength work. Not a replacement for either.

Comment BAND and we’ll send you the link.

Carrying your kid all day does something to your hips that nobody warns you about.

The iliacus, a deep muscle inside your pelvis, absorbs every pickup, every side-carry, every time you sit on the floor and haul yourself back up. It builds tension and holds it. And when it holds, your back pays for it.

Two tools. 10 minutes. That’s the routine.

Orbit first → warms up the psoas, the big hip flexor running along your spine.
Hip Hook™ second → gets into the iliacus directly. 90 seconds per side.
That’s it. Back feels better. Hips stop winding up. You can keep going.

Results may vary.
