The shape of Glute Blade was designed to be similar to the pressure given by the hand or forearm during massage therapy or chiropractic care by providing relief of tight muscles. The heads of the Glute Blade were perfectly designed to target the piriformis.
The piriformis is a small muscle located deep in the glute tissue that runs diagonally (which is why you need a blade, not a tip, hook or ball to locate). Tightness in the piriformis can irritate or compress the sciatic nerve as well as create pain and tightness in the low back and SI joint.
Target the root cause - Glute Blade massager is perfectly designed for piriformis syndrome relief - a tight piriformis is commonly associated with low back paint and SI joint issues which can in turn lead to hip, IT band, knee, upper back, shoulder and neck pain. While there are many manual devices and tools to roll out stiff muscles and find temporary relief, Glute Blade is the only tool that effectively targets the root cause of pain that originates in the glutes and piriformis.
Glute Blade was designed with 3 different heads - rounded head for soft pressure, squared or blunted head for medium pressure, and pointed head for hard pressure or targeting trigger points. Experiment with each of the different heads until you find the one that works best for the muscle you are working on.
Latex free - Made of food grade slip resistant silicone. For best results hold on to the tight piriformis muscle knot for 5-10 seconds before releasing the pressure. Move the device slightly to locate a new point of tightness and apply pressure. There may be several points to release within one muscle.
