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

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!!

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 have had an underlying Piriformis hip issue plaguing my all my life. 95% of the time I have no issues, but when it flares up it flares up bad. A few weeks ago I injured myself by pushing my body too hard with a lower body workout. I was in so much pain I couldn’t walk or sit for three days. I went to s stretch therapist 3x and go about 75% if the pain gone, but the right hip/SI joint pain was still there enough to where I stopped my workouts. Anyway, king story short I got this thing TODAY and within ten minutes of using it I am pain free. This is after weeks of doing other hip exercises. I have no idea why this was so effective compared to everything else I’ve tried. But my pelvis feels so happy and good and loose. I wanted to buy it thee years ago but it was just so expensive. I’m glad I finally bought it. But to be honest the price could be a lot lower as it is simply hard rubber and likely costs no more than $5 to manufacture. I feel like the inventor of this device could help a lot more people eliminate pain if this were affordable for the masses. For this reason I give it s 4 star. It would be 5 if it were more reasonably priced.

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!

This is well-made and probably works for most people. If you go to physical therapy they can teach you to use it. I just realized that the instructions online tell you to make sure you’re finished with physical therapy before you use it. That’s because it’s so hard that if you have something wrong with your spine, like a ruptured disc, you might not want to put your entire body weight on it! The “clock” is unnecessary marketing.(Learn to go in a circle with it under your back). Hard rubber hurt my back. Instructions are not user-friendly; printed where you can’t see while using. There is no way to support the rest of your body while you gently rock back-and-forth on this. You basically have to lay on it. If you use your legs to push your abdomen up then it’s your legs getting the exercise, not your core. I think it’s the wrong shape and too dense. Ouch.

overpriced gizmo for moves you can do without it

Well, I do not know why this thing works but, it really does! I had a bad adjustment 4 months ago by a terrible chiropractor. He completely over rotated my sacrum to the right, I was having SI joint pain and sciatic pain. Walked around like this for months and this pain scared me bc I had an L-4/L5 disc replacement 18 yrs ago and trust that is pain know one should ever experience. Found a "qualified chiro" and he did bring me back into alignment but it has taken a few weeks. I think I was out for so long, going back in was almost as bad as the misalignment. Anyway, I could not bend over to put my tennis shoes on without crying! I was just stiff as a board. I teach Pilates and have for 30yrs, I have to be able to roll on my spine so I found this Sacrum clock and read the reviews and thought, how do I not try this? So it came yesterday and I'm a lot better already! I used it the minute I took it out of the box, calmly not aggressively and iced for 30 mins. It wasn't magical but it was better. Okay, tried it before work later that same day, iced for 10 mins went to work, okay way better. Came home tried it one more time, iced for 30 mins. Woke up and I'm still a little stiff but, last night I could at least touch my toes without that searing fear and pain! So, I thought I can always send it back but I will not now. This thing really works. I think it stabilizes the sacrum and mobilizes the musculature around it. Not sure and don't care as long as I'm not in pain! Buy it. It's $10 cheaper on the website but I needed it fast bc I've been in bed for a week! I was skeptical but, desperate to be out of pain and mobile. I hadn't been able to workout in 2 weeks which for people that workout, this is very depressing and it's my job which I couldn't do... even worse. I'm going to do it 3x today, icing after each time and maybe I can teach tomorrow. Been a week now, it's worth it. It's making me better and I didn't go to the chiro this week, only have to go once but, I have neck and shoulder issues as well.

I really do not know why this got such low ratings but I can only imagine that people may not have the actual issues this product was designed to address. I've had this in my cart forever, read all the reviews, looked at similar products at a lower price and finally decided to go with this one. I basically chose this one over the other blue one due to the sizing. You need a certain size just to cover that area and if something is too big or too small for you it's just not going to work. I just received this today and got on the floor just to lay on it and I did some rocking without reading any kind of instructions and WOW my back feels insanely better. I have SI dysfunction and the relief that this thing brought me in minutes is incomparable to all of the other exercises, foam rollers, and belts I've tried. So personally, if you suffer from SI dysfunction like I do, I highly recommend you try this out! It's covered by FSA which is a huge plus but you can always return it if you don't like it. I hope this helps you and I hope you don't hesitate like I did and get yourself some relief sooner than later!!

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.
