Thrival Bullseye - Precision Psoas Muscle Release Tool for Hip Flexor, Back, Hamstring, Glute, Iliacus, and Neck Pain - Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and Myofascial Release - Carbon Black

I’ve been using the Thrival Deep Tissue Pro and it’s become an indispensable part of my yin yoga practice. What sets this tool apart is its ability to target deep into the hip flexors and surrounding muscles, providing a release that traditional foam rollers and massage balls just can’t match.The adjustable design allows me to customize the pressure and angle, making it perfect for accessing those hard-to-reach areas in the hips and glutes. During yin sessions, I can position the tool to apply sustained pressure, facilitating a deeper stretch and release. This has significantly improved my flexibility and reduced tension in my lower back and hips.The build quality is impressive—sturdy and durable, ensuring it withstands regular use. It’s also compact enough to take with me to classes or when traveling.Overall, the Thrival Deep Tissue Pro has enhanced my recovery routine and yoga practice. If you’re looking for a tool to help release tight hips and improve mobility, I highly recommend giving this a try.

As a former physical therapy assistant, I’ve worked with several mobility and recovery tools — so I’m usually a little skeptical of anything claiming to offer "deep relief." But after just a few uses, I felt a noticeable difference in my hip flexors with the Thrival Relief Pro. The design targets hard-to-reach areas that most rollers or massage tools can’t get to, and it does so in a way that feels both effective and safe because you control the amount of pressure the tool provides through your own movement. You can tell it was developed with a strong understanding of muscle mechanics. It's also really well made. I’ll definitely be keeping this in my regular recovery routine. If you know your body and want something that actually works, this is worth checking out.

I have scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, vertebral compression, sciatica, and arthritis in my back, as well as hip flexor tightness that sometimes leads to constant, painful spasms.The Thrival system has been such an incredible find! It's been the first real source of relief, and complete compression release, in my low back in YEARS, even outshining the pain relief I get from my (very good) Rolfing (structural alignment) treatments and chiropractic adjustments. There are days when I wake up barely able to walk, and this can turn it around for me where stretching, yoga and NSAIDs can't. And those meat grinder heads on my hip flexors is divine.I definitely recommend getting the whole system, since different heads are needed to target different muscle groups and do all of the techniques in the quite-impressive user manual, with full color photos and well-written, complete instructions. And the Thrival's adjustable placement of the heads on the board is crucial - if you buy a non-adjustable tool, it's just not that likely to hit in the right spots for your body, especially if you want it to work on multiple areas like the Thrival does. Precision is important if you want a safe, effective release.The only bummer was that I assumed the Soft Covers were included (didn't read the description carefully enough), and Amazon doesn't sell them. They're necessary for some of the setups, and prevent adding pain to muscles and skin. You can get them from Thrival's website directly.This was well worth the price for me. It has increased my mobility and provided effective release tools for my whole body. It has reduced my pain, and frankly, it's empowering: I can do more, more comfortably. So grateful to have found this company's products.

*Edit- after 2 weeks of using this, I find it’s been very helpful. It’s useful for different hip & thigh muscles that are hard to reach, and very helpful for tense calves. Glad I went ahead and got this.Original review: I just got this yesterday and tried it last night. My hip has felt tight and has ached for a year or so. That’s my fault for not exercising and stretching as much, but once that problem happens, it’s not easy to address. This works to help release the iliacus muscle and seems to have a very positive effect on other muscles that are affected by it. I already feel much less tension and pain.This is easy to assemble, disassemble and pack when traveling.The meat grinder and other attachments are a super hard plastic . I didn’t know there were soft covers available, but there are. Since I didn’t purchase them, I doubled a blanket and draped it over the whole thing to soften the pressure. Even with that, it was a lot of pressure, and I feel bruised today. BUT we all know getting to tight muscles like this is going to involve discomfort, so that was no surprise. The takeaway for me is that it seems to help considerably with hip area tension- it’s similar to a deep tissue massage- it may hurt pr be uncomfortable at the time, but it help considerably, so I do it. I’ll continue using this . Curious to know if the soft covers make much difference.Also curious to know if the Aletha hip hook is any more comfortable. If so, I’d definitely consider trying it based on my experience w this…

Works amazing for me. Had lower back pain due to tight psoas and illiacus and they are finally releasing. Awesome tool!
