Features & Specifications

Target the deep hip muscles that conventional stretching, foam rolling and massage tools can struggle to reach with the Aletha Health Hip Hook™ System, created by physical therapist Christine Annie (Koth), MPT.

The Hip Hook is specifically designed to apply sustained, targeted pressure to the iliacus and psoas, the two muscles that make up the iliopsoas, one of the body's primary hip flexors. Its unique shape allows the tool to first target the psoas before rotating toward the inside surface of the pelvis to reach the deeper iliacus muscle.

The system also includes the Orbit®, a broader muscle-release tool designed to work with the Hip Hook. Its 4-inch diameter and firm-yet-yielding construction provide sustained pressure for the psoas, piriformis and deep hip rotators, helping prepare the surrounding area before more targeted work with the Hip Hook.

Together, the tools form a simple sequence: use the Orbit for broader release around the front and back of the hip, then use the Hip Hook for more precise work on the iliacus. Aletha recommends sustained pressure of approximately 90 seconds per side as part of its guided hip routine.

Every system also includes access to the Aletha Companion App, which provides step-by-step video placement, pressure and timing guidance, a 90-second release timer and guided routines. The app is currently available for iPhone, with Aletha listing Android as a waitlist.

For runners, athletes, active individuals or anyone working on hip mobility, tight hip flexors and lower-body movement, the Hip Hook System provides a purpose-built alternative to generic massage balls and foam rollers.

How to Use

Aletha recommends using the Orbit first to prepare the surrounding hip muscles before progressing to the more targeted Hip Hook.

For its guided hip routine, Aletha's sequence begins with approximately 90 seconds of sustained pressure per side with the Orbit to target the psoas, followed by approximately 90 seconds per side with the Hip Hook positioned inside the pelvic bone to target the iliacus. The Orbit can then be used underneath the glute to target the piriformis.

The Companion App provides step-by-step guidance on placement, pressure and timing, which I would strongly encourage customers to follow when first learning to use the system.

Aletha specifically advises starting gently rather than assuming more pressure is better. Stop and reposition the tool if you experience numbness, tingling, burning or throbbing, as these sensations may indicate proximity to a nerve or blood vessel. People with a medical condition or recent surgery should consult their healthcare provider before use.
