Pso-Rite Muscle Releaser: At Home Deep Tissue Release for Runners

As runners we are always looking for ways to relieve tight muscles. I’m sure in an ideal world we would all go get professional massages every week. However, most of us don’t have the time for that, and it can get very expensive.

While there are many ways to loosen up tight muscles on our own, nothing quite compares to someone else helping to really get into those tight spots. But now there’s a close match. The Pso-Rite muscle releaser can help to loosen up just about any area of the body using it’s unique design. Unlike a foam roller, you just relax into the position and breathe, and add in some movements to the area to get a deeper release. Just like a real deep tissue massage it can be somewhat uncomfortable at times (especially on really tight areas) but once you are done you feel more relaxed and your whole body feels better.

Pso-Rite Muscle Releaser

The Pso-Rite is designed to mimic a massage therapist’s hand shape and elbow so you can get deep into the areas that are tight. It can help with improving blood flow, loosening up muscles and relieving normal joint discomfort. It may also improve circulation, provide relaxation and help warm up your muscles to improve mobility. The Pso-Rite can even potentially help with digestion if used regularly on the psoas.

How to Use the Pso-Rite

There are many ways to use the pso-rite, but let’s start with the basics.

1. Locate any sore or tight areas of your body.
2. Slowly work the peaks of the pso-rite into your problem area.
3. Use one peak at a time even if you are in a two peak position.
4. Breathe deeply and stay in the area for 5-60 seconds.
5. If something feels uncomfortable, ease off that spot and move to a new area. Try the same area again the following day.
6. Experiment with positions that work best for you. Use the floor, wall, bed, or a chair to provide different levels of support.

How Runners Can Use the Pso-Rite

While the Pso-rite can be used in whatever way makes sense for each individual, there are a few positions I think would be most beneficial to runners.

Glute Massage: Lay on your back with your knees bent and place the pso-rite under your hips, and lean from one side to the other to massage each glute separately. Move the pso-rite up and down the back of your hips to hit different areas of your glutes.

Quad Massage: Lay on your stomach, the prop yourself on your elbows and place the pso-rite in a vertical position under your quad. Bend you knee to move your foot up and down. Then try turning the pso-rite in a horizontal position and placing it on it’s side. Move your quad from side to side.

QL Massage: Place the pso-rite under your back. Lean from one side to the other to let the peaks push into your back muscles. Find any tight spots, hold, and breathe.

Outer glute/hip Massage: Lay on your side with your hip on the back peak of the pso-rite. Use your front hand and front leg for support. Move around to find tender spots. To get a deeper massage lift your front leg.

These are just a few ideas to get you started, but it can really be used anywhere that feels tight.
