How to control desired pressure levels with the Claw!

The Claw can be intimidating, especially lying full bodyweight onto it. Start light and work up slowly. Take your time and BREATHE. In this video, medium pressure is being applied.

Light Pressure
- Lean into the Claw against a wall. This helps you understand what it feels like, where to place it on the QL, and if you can handle more. Move it up & down searching for tender areas.

Mild Pressure
- Take it to the ground with a blanket over the Claw and a pillow behind your head. Deeper release, still with great control. From there, remove the pillows, then eventually the blanket. No rush - if this stage gives you enough relief, stay here. It may take a week or a month. So be it!

Medium Pressure
- Body on the Claw, nothing else. Breathe and try to sink deeper with each breath. Again, move the Claw up & down to find tight, tender trigger points. Plant both feet, then drop the same side knee of the QL you're releasing. Your opposite knee becomes a pressure lever - the further you move it across your body, the deeper you sink.

Heavy Pressure
- Still not feeling it? You must be an animal! Grab your same side knee and bring it to your chest while lifting your chest off the ground - like a crunch on top of the Claw. Intense. Only attempt if you know your body and the tool well.

No proper way. No rules. These are just suggestions and recommended ways of use. Get creative, listen to your body, and find what works best for you!

Same pressure principles apply to every muscle the Claw releases. Take it slow, breathe, work deeper over time. We encourage you to learn about where the muscles live, why they cause pain, why they get tight, and why releasing them can give you a ton of relief. With the proper release tool, stretching, strengthening, and habit correction (in that order), you can get out of pain yourself. If you need help or any direction, please reach out to us - we are here to help!

Thanks for the video!

Iliacus trigger point release with the QL Claw - a tough to reach muscle without the help of a massage therapist or targeted tool. The Claw pinpoints the Iliacus (along with MANY more muscles) to break up nasty tension built up in this area. Breaking down trigger points in the low back, hips, and glutes will give you so much relief in your lower back. If you sit often throughout the day, this release will feel heavenly. Check out are page, website, or YouTube to see all of the muscles the Claw targets and releases!

The Gluteus Medius - a personal favorite release with the Claw!

The Glute Med is a wide, fan-shaped muscle sitting in your upper buttocks, or as we like to say, the highest part of your butt with meat.

It's one of the hardest working muscles in your body. Without it, it would be impossible to walk, stand, and lift properly. Every step you take, it fires to keep you balanced. Every stride, lift, cut - your glute med is working.

And when it's tight, the pain pattern is gnarly.

Glute Med pain generally feels like nagging lower back pain and pain along the upper buttock. It can be triggered by a brief event like lifting a couch, but also can occur gradually from physical activity over a long time. It's more susceptible when cold and unprepared - like jumping into a sport after sitting at a desk all day.

Massage is the best way to release Glute Med tension. Stretching after massage can further release the muscle, but massage is often required first to break up rigid, tight muscle tissue.

That's the exact order we teach: release first, then stretch, then strengthen.

Effective Glute Med release will destroy any knots, trigger points, and tightness contributing to the pain.

The QL Claw was designed specifically to reach it, along with the other major contributors to low back pain. Sit with the tailbone on the ramp of the Claw and let the leg fall to the side - the trigger/knuckle of the Claw digs right into the Glute Med, like no other tool out there. Deep, targeted, and actually effective.

You can get out of pain yourself. Fix the muscles, fix the pain.

Deep low back muscle release - the QL's. An elbow on a physical therapist is the best age old tool for releasing tight muscles. However, these elbows are expensive, infrequent, and never quite there when you need them. So we stuck an elbow to a block, and pointed it at the muscles that cause back pain. The main muscle the QL Claw was designed for is the Quadratus Lumborum. No other tool out there allows for deep, controlled pressure into this muscle. It's a heat seeking missile straight into the QL's, a muscle that can cause a ton of low back pain!

When someone takes the time to write about waking up without pain for the first time in years, or finally being able to pick up their kids again, or getting back to the activity they love, it’s not just a review to us - it's the whole reason we built this thing.

Back Muscle Solutions started because we believe people shouldn't have to live with back pain, book appointment after appointment, or spend thousands of dollars just to feel normal again.

And every time someone shares their story, it does two things:

Reminds us why we show up every day.

And gives someone sitting on the fence, someone who's tried everything and is skeptical one more thing will actually work - encouragement to try it, and show up for themselves.

All of our reviews are real - from pro athletes, to farmers, to desk jockeys, and everyone in between.

If the Claw has helped you, let us know through reviews on our website or TrustPilot, or tag us in your story. You could help someone make the jump and get out of pain themselves (with help from our amazing Claw customer support team whenever you need).

And to everyone who already has - thank you. Genuinely. We are eternally grateful.

You can get out of pain yourself, and help someone do the same. Fix the muscles, fix the pain.

The Iliacus is one of the deepest muscles in your body - it sits inside your pelvis, attaches to the top of your femur, and works with the Psoas to flex your hip every time you step, get out of a chair, or bend forward.

It’s a tough muscle to reach - you can’t foam roll it. It’s hard to stretch. And a lot of practitioners skip over it. It’s overlooked and can cause a ton of lower back pain if you neglect it.

What makes your Iliacus angry: - Sitting for long periods (all of us). The Iliacus stays shortened the entire time you’re seated - Any activity that repeatedly drives the knee up - Stress and tension - the hip flexors are one of the first places the body holds stress - Hip, groin, or lower back injuries that never fully resolved

When the Iliacus is chronically tight it pulls the front of your pelvis down, creating an anterior pelvic tilt. Your lower back has to compensate. It’s not a “bad back” or “back problem” - it stems from the FRONT of your body, the Iliacus.

When you attack trigger points in your Iliacus & release it, you get that natural length back, your lower back decompresses, and movement that felt stiff and guarded starts to feel free again.

This is one of the five muscles the QL Claw was specifically designed to reach. Deep, targeted, and actually effective. Place a book under the Claw for extra pressure and elevation into the muscle.

You can get out of pain yourself, it just takes the right knowledge, tool, and stretching & strengthening exercises. And we all need to stop sitting so much - motion is lotion baby!

The Gluteus Medius sits on the outer edge of your hip. Every step you take, it fires to keep your pelvis level. Every time you stand on one leg, run, climb stairs, or push off a golf swing, your Glute Med is working.

And because it never gets a break, it's almost always an extremely tight muscle nobody talks about.

Here's what tightens it:
- Sitting with your legs crossed or weight shifted to one side.. constantly
- Running and cycling, which fire it thousands of times in a single session
- Weakness in the Glute Max forcing the Glute Med to pick up the slack
- Old ankle, knee, or hip injuries that slowly changed walking/sitting posture

When your Glute Med is chronically tight, it creates a nagging ache on one side of your low back that never seems to go away.

The problem is most people just try to stretch it. Or foam roll the outside of their hip and wonder why nothing changes. You can't foam roll your way into a Glute Med that's locked up with trigger points. You have to get direct, targeted pressure into the muscle itself.

That's exactly what the QL Claw reaches. Positioned just below the Iliac Crest on the outer hip, it gets into the Glute Med the way nothing else does. A couple minutes on the Claw could change how you feel & move every single day.
Release the muscle. Stretch it. Then strengthen it. In that order, every time. Fix the muscles, fix the pain.

You can get out of pain yourself!
