What we have learned is that we're
basically creatures of balance—chemical, emotional
and physical. All we're doing is offering a tool and
a system to use to help achieve better muscle balance.
This is why we have so many therapists
utilizing this tool in their practice. It's amazing
what goes away when we're "balanced" and "relaxed."

The picture below is of the Sacro Wedgy®, which
is placed under the sacrum. Notice how the hips are
suspended and now free to relax.
There is a muscle called the piriformis
that originates with the wide end of the triangular
shaped muscle attached to the front of the sacrum and
the narrow end attached to the hip. As gravity takes
over and the hips relax, the piriformis has a chance
to stretch a little.
For some people, this is going to hurt like the devil
so they have to relax even more. The sciatic nerve is
involved with this muscle so you can understand how
this has helped so many with sciatica.
This muscle is also thought to be the beginning of a
series of misalignments or what we call a "snowball"
effect.
There is a male and female version of the Sacro Wedgy®
because of the difference in the shape of the sacrum.
The average female sacrum is slightly wider and shorter,
because of the birth canal, than the more narrow, longer
male sacrum.
This explains why occasionally why some taller women
and some women that just have a longer, narrower torso
do better on the male version.
LOWER BACK PAIN AND HIP PAIN COMMON TO GOLFERS
Golfers have been some of
our first and best testimonials. The Sacro Wedgy®
deals mainly with muscle balance
and flexibility in the hips. If a golfer has tight,
out of balance hip muscles, guess what? No follow through,
inverted "C" - call it what you want - it's
sometimes quite painful and it's not a pretty sight.
Those that have chosen to include regular use of the
Sacro Wedgy® (yes - you're actually going to have
to use it), have found that by having more balanced,
relaxed hips, their game is more enjoyable. We do not
guarantee better scores. We do, however, have one entire
page of the brochure devoted to "golfers
back" and how to get rid of or control that
all so nagging, common problem that costs the golfer
time and money.
LOWER BACK
PAIN, HIP PAIN, PIRIFORMIS SYNDROME, "PAIN IN THE
BUTT", AND COMMON TO RUNNERS, TENNIS PLAYERS AND
ALL ATHLETICS INCLUDING FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL.
According to the American Academy of Osteopathy, "The
lower extremities provide for support and locomotion
with strong bones and powerful muscles. They are often
the site of referred pain from somatic structures in
the lumbar and pelvic regions and/or from certain abdominopelvic
viscera."
What we've learned by working with so
many runners over the years (we started by exhibiting
at race expos) is that the piriformis
muscle seems to be the culprit for many symptoms common
to runners. If you think about
the function of the piriformis,
it attaches (wide end of triangle) to the front of the
sacrum and (narrow end of triangle) to the greater trochanter
of the femur. Actually, most of the muscles in the hip
originate in various places but end up at basically
the same point somewhere around the femur (hip bone).
So, it stands to reason if there is the slightest muscle
dysfunction in the entire pelvic region, a runner, or
any athlete for that matter, cannot function to the
best of their ability. Beside the fact that the piriformis
muscle is directly related to the sciatic
nerve, another muscle, the sartorius (longest muscle
in the body), originates at the top of the hip and inserts
under the knee. The Sacro Wedgy® is a tool
to use to help create a more balanced and relaxed muscle
structure which in turn is going to allow the athlete
better, more enjoyable performances.
Each order comes with the elevation pad and instruction
book. Also see our Q&A page
