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

UPDATE 4/4/21It'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 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 mobilityIn 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!!

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'd being doing the 12-6 and 3-9 on a soft foam mattress before I received delivery of the pelvic clock. The pelvic clock, in my experience, does not activate the muscles as much as did the same movements on a soft foam mattress. On a soft foam mattress, I feel the stretches. All I feel on the pelvic clock is the hardness of the material and the ease of rolling around. For some, this may be the answer they're looking for. For me, I prefer my foam mattress.
