Orbit® Psoas & Hip Release Ball | Aletha Health

$29.00
Features & Specifications

Go deeper than a traditional massage ball without the broad, unfocused pressure of a foam roller with the Aletha Health Orbit®, a purpose-built muscle release tool designed by a physical therapist for the hips, psoas, piriformis and glutes.

At 4 inches in diameter, the Orbit is intentionally larger than a typical massage or lacrosse ball. Its firm-yet-yielding construction is designed to provide broad, sustained pressure across deeper muscles while remaining focused enough to target specific areas around the hips and glutes.

The Orbit can be used to target the psoas at the front of the hip as well as the piriformis, deep hip rotators and gluteal area at the back. Its size and density make it particularly useful for people looking for a more targeted approach to muscle release as part of a mobility, training or recovery routine.

It's also designed to work alongside Aletha Health's Hip Hook™. The Orbit provides the broader first step, helping prepare the psoas and surrounding hip area before moving on to the more precise iliacus work performed with the Hip Hook. It can also be used independently as a compact muscle-release tool.

Created for runners, athletes, active individuals or anyone working on hip mobility and tight hip flexors, the Orbit offers a simple way to incorporate sustained pressure and targeted muscle work into a regular recovery routine.

How to Use

For the psoas, lie on the ground and position the Orbit inside the pelvic bone. Adjust your body position to control the amount of pressure, then relax into the tool while breathing slowly and maintaining consistent pressure for approximately 90 seconds per side.

The Orbit can also be positioned beneath the gluteal area to target the piriformis and deep hip rotators.

When using the Orbit with the Hip Hook System, Aletha recommends the following sequence:

1. Orbit – Psoas

Approximately 90 seconds per side to prepare the front of the hip.

2. Hip Hook – Iliacus

Approximately 90 seconds per side for more targeted iliacus work.

3. Orbit – Piriformis

Return to the Orbit underneath the glute to target the back of the hip.

Start with gentle pressure and gradually adjust your body position as needed. Aletha advises stopping and repositioning the tool if you experience numbness, tingling, burning or throbbing, which can indicate that you're too close to a nerve or blood vessel.
