OPTP Pelvic Rocker Core Trainer, Pelvic Floor Training Disc, Blue, 3" x 11"

for context. I buy a lot of pain management/self massage products, rollers, chirp wheels, etc. I have spinal stenosis, arthritis in my vertebrae, and disc herniations at l5-s1 and l4-l5. And been doing PT for weeks. Still get pain all the time. With all of these pains, I do get some strain in my pelvis as well. I'm pretty familiar with my pain and limits, so take the advice at your discretion I heard of the pelvic clock, but the real one is a whopping 85. I have not tried the actual pelvic clock. Tried this one out and I actually really like it. The main 12-6 o'clock rocking angles have been great for my herniations. It really gets a nice stretch for the muscles around the area. 3-9 o'clock also gets a great stretch in. I'm adding this to my every day. There is a bit of a learning curve to placement, but once you find the right spot, it feels great. I do wish that it was made from a gripping material rather than hard plastic at the bottom. The non-slip mat it comes with is meh, but for half the price, I like it.

I was hit by a drunk driver a few years back and I have had issues ever since. I get ablation and injections in my lower back to help alleviate the pain on top of otc and occasional pain meds. I have a very physical job that I work 10 to 12 hours a day. I was recently having issues and purchased a new mattress and went to the chiropractor. Both helped some but I was still having issues so I ordered and used a pillow you wear around your waist at night. This was a big mistake for me as it totally threw my back out of whack worse. My next purchase was the IPTP pelvic rocker core trainer. BEST INVESTMENT EVER!!! This product helped me stretch my lower back in a way I am unable to with regular stretching exercises. Lying on the floor even with a yoga mat hurt me. This product is actually very comfortable and not like you would expect from looking at it in the pictures. I have used this everyday since I received it and it has helped me tremendously. I still have an ache but I’m not in severe pain like I was before. I am also able to do my core exercises comfortably which is exciting (abs here I come!). Core strengthening exercises is recommended and directed by my spine doctor to stabilize, improve mobility and to keep the joints lubricated. I cannot say enough good things about this product except it is definitely worth trying if you are suffering from back and even hip pain. I am still working on the balance thing that will come with practice and technique. The quality of this product is great and the price is reasonable. Definitely worth the money for pain relief and for your daily workout regimen and or routine. FYI you still need to follow your doctor’s advice as this is not a cure but a tool to help you to improve.

The OPTP Pelvic Rocker Core Trainer is a compact and effective tool that I’ve been incorporating into my fitness routine, and so far, it’s been a great addition. Its main purpose is to strengthen your core and improve pelvic stability, and it definitely delivers on those fronts. I’ve tried a lot of core exercises, but this device targets the deep muscles in a way that’s both challenging and effective. After just a few sessions, I could feel the difference—it really gets those hard-to-reach muscles working. What’s nice is that it doesn’t take up much space, so it’s perfect for home use, and it’s built to last. The non-slip base is also a big plus, keeping it stable no matter what surface I’m working on. Initially, I thought it might be tricky for people of different heights or builds to use, but I’ve had friends and family of varying sizes give it a try, and everyone seemed to get the hang of it pretty easily. That’s a big win in my book since it means it’s versatile enough for most people. The one downside is that it takes a little time to figure out how to use it properly, especially if you’re new to core training. The included exercise guide is helpful, but you might still need to experiment to feel comfortable with it. Once you do, though, it’s a really fun and unique way to work on your core strength. Overall, if you’re looking for something different to spice up your fitness routine or need a tool to help with core and pelvic stability, this is a solid choice. It’s well-made, easy to use for most people, and effective. Definitely worth considering!

I found this to be so-so as an exercise device, but holy WOW is it ever good for stretching hard-to-get-at back muscles! For exercise, the problem is that your butt is higher than your head, placing you in a position that makes it much easier to posteriorly tilt your pelvis than it is when you are flat. And side-to-side movements can be accomplished with slight shifts in weight without really engaging your core muscles very much. I've never managed to get sore/tired muscles from rocking on this. But its deficits as an exercise device are more than made up for by its excellence as a stretching device. Try twisting your pelvis so that one hip is as close to your shoulder as possible and the other hip is as far from your shoulder as possible. Try rocking at an angle. Try twisting side-to-side. Whatever weird position you manage to contort yourself into on this, you'll suddenly find that it gives you a delicious stretch of some tight back muscle you didn't even realize it was possible to stretch.

It’s not connected to the bottom and the “non slip” pad constantly slips. I couldn’t imagine doing anything the girl on the box is doing and I’ve been doing yoga for 30 years. It doesn’t do anything that a foam roller can’t do much better. Maybe if your range of motion is severely limited this may work for you. I got it for my boyfriend who is extremely tight in the hips and he couldn’t feel a stretch from it at all. I’m 8 months pregnant and couldn’t get one either. Suck because we just got a great back stretcher 2 months ago and I wanted this to accompany it.

Great product however, it never came with the grey silicone matt it was supposed to. I've been using it all this time and look at the box again and thought to myself about the descriptions being different because it dented my yoga matt. I never realized it was supposed to come with the litte round matt for the floor exercises. Otherwise great product.

I wanted to like this. Pelvic rocking exercises help my lower back so much, that I liked the idea if being able to do them more smoothly and with some support. This has a base (good idea) but no matter how I use the base, the rocker just slides all over it. If you are rocking, and it slides to the side, it is very easy to get an injury or make an old injury worse. Total disappointment.

This has been amazing. It seems so simple and it has help pain I’ve had in my pelvis (I’m 10 months postpartum). It is like those giant yoga balls except it’s hard and doesn’t take up all that space. It tilts in any direction. The box and shipping box both came damage but not the product.

Product arrived when scheduled even thought it was sometime since I ordered it. Had used one previous this is why I ordered this one. Easy to use and is helpful. Biggest thing is you have to use it.

This is not the rocker to use. Sorry
