Thrival Bullseye, Adjustable Psoas Muscle Release Tool, Carbon Black

Excellent tool for locating pain points. You can adjust the width to ensure you locat the appropriate muscle spots that are causing problems. In addition the videos available help to located muscle groups and create an exercise plan that facilitates improvement. I am recovering from hip surgery and was in excruciating pain. My therapist encouraged me to use this tool daily to release the right muscles and relax the nerves. Takes a few tries to get used to but the relief I feel has made it so worth the effort.

Update: I'll leave my old review up in case anyone else runs into the same issue, but updating to 5 stars. After feeling salty about global manufacturing practices and dishonest companies for a few hours, I had a self righteous moment of "I'm writing an angry letter, I'm sure THAT will show them" and did just that. I received a quick response from the owner; evidently some of their early models were produced abroad, and I received one of these items (They've since moved production to Ohio). The owner was super responsive and very applogetic. 5/5 customer service, seems like a solid small business and not (as I was concerned) someone deliberately trying to mislead customers. I used to work in a Sports Medicine setting, I've used a lot of exercise and recovery equipment, and it's really difficult to find domestically manufactured stuff that I'm not priced out of. Happy to have found a company to keep in mind for future purchases! ------ One of the reasons I purchased this over the competition is that it's heavily marketed as "made in the USA." Lo and behold, it's literally stamped "China" on the bottom. I try to buy domestic when I can, so this false advertising was pretty disappointing. Function: Works just as well as the "name brand" psoas release board, the adjustability is nice for those with narrow or wider hips. Appearance: It arrived loose in a box and the plastic was a bit scuffed up. Not a big deal, it doesn't impact function, just one of those early distribution kinks I'm guessing the company will sort out over time.

Nooo! I'm so disappointed. I just got this today. Firstly, it took quite a long time to receive. I ordered it at the same time as several other items and it was the last to arrive by a week. I purchased it because my ex had a similar product that I used frequently and was really missing. I decided to buy my own and chose this one because of its ability to break down into smaller parts. His did not to that and I hated how inconvenient it was to store and travel with. However, even in its closest setting the peaks are too far apart! They sit right on my bones as opposed to the meat. My favorite way to use these is to stretch the SI joints in my hips. I'm going to have to return mine as it just doesn't work the same when the "meat grinders" sit so far away from the spine. It looks sturdy. It condenses nicely. The price was right. But I do not recommend for women with a smaller frame. If it helps they measure 5 inches apart center to center and my measurements are 27in (waist) and 31.5 inches (hips). I would say my size or smaller just pass.

I have struggled with low back pain for the last 12 years. I’m only 33, but once I had my two children back to back, my hips added insult to injury. I saw so many recommendations how to release your psoas but also, I’ve ALWAYS had piriformis pain resulting in tight hamstrings, glutes, the whole 9. I felt broken at such a young age. Not to mention posture, tight neck and shoulders. You name it. In ONE session of myofascial release on my Psoas and low back support muscles, I feel blood flow. I know it will take consistency but wow!!! This is just what I needed. I can play with my kids on the floor longer, get up and walk without the 10 minutes of tight hip flexors. THANK YOU THRIVAL!! Note- this board I ordered with just the bullseye doesn’t have the additional attachments but I will definitely be buying them with each paycheck.

The thrival unit is absolutely excellent and take it from a guy in his 60'a with a bad lower back...after trying every gadget, massage guns, heat and ice, ems red lights, this is the only thing that can target the exact area of yr pain so you can rub it out...after I get the ballhead attachment next, I'll be complete with all attachments...buy it, you can't go wrong

It looks and sounds very easy to use. However, when you are overweight and out of shape it’s not so easy. The plastic is very hard on my body which I know serves a purpose and I think some padding would help. It’s not bad I just need to figure out the best way that I can use it.

I have been trying to fix my hip flexors for quite some time now and this thing works so well. They give you really thorough instructions in their booklet on how to use it for different areas like your psoas and iliacus, so you know what you are doing. Also I didn’t expect this thing to work for so many different areas. It really is a jack of all trades and is so versatile!

The instruction manual is not useful. It doesn’t detail what you need to do to effectively use the product to massage the psoas. I had to look up generic instructions online. The manual is also filled with unnecessary instructions for other products, which is completely useless. Why would I want instructions for a product I don’t have? Lastly, the packaging is pretty poor. The product, manual, and other print material are loosely placed in the box. No foam or packaging material to hold things in place. For the price you pay, it leaves a lot to be desired.

No silicone pads to cover the ends as pictured. The instructions also advise to use the "meat grinder" attachments for most muscle groups. Disappointed as the "bullseye" is the only attachment it comes with. I guess they want you to buy more pieces. It does adjust to my smaller body frame, which is great. The releases that I can do with what is provided feel great. Not sure if it's worth the extra money for what you can do with it though.
