How to Use the Core Nexus

1

Find Your Position

Lie face-down on a firm surface. Place the Core Nexus at the crease where your hip meets your torso, just inside your hip bone. The ergonomic base keeps it stable.

2

Engage the Psoas Tip

Use the wider tip to target your psoas. Slowly lower your body weight onto the tool. Breathe deeply — you'll feel productive pressure, not sharp pain. Hold for 30-60 seconds.

3

Release with Rotation

While maintaining pressure, gently rotate your leg outward (external rotation). Follow the placement guide and professional advice; do not force movement or pressure.

4

Switch to the Iliacus Tip

Reposition with the contoured iliacus tip against the inner curve of your hip bone. The narrower angled tip is designed for the iliacus. Follow the corresponding placement instructions.

5

Hold & Breathe

Follow the placement guide and your healthcare professional's advice. Breathe comfortably, use gentle pressure, and stop if use causes pain or concerning symptoms.

6

Stand & Feel the Difference

Rise slowly and move within your comfort level. Experience varies. Ask your healthcare professional about a suitable routine.

How to Use the Black Swan

1

Neck & Base-of-Skull Release

Place Black Swan on a flat surface. Rest the base of your skull in the dual cradles. Follow the placement guide and breathe comfortably. Stop if use causes pain or concerning symptoms.

2

Gentle Neck Stretch

The built-in surfaces are designed for a gentle neck stretch. Follow the guide and your healthcare professional’s advice. Do not force a position or duration.

3

Hand & Forearm Release

Flip Black Swan over. Use the swan-head tip to work through your palms, between the metacarpals, and along the forearm flexors/extensors. Perfect for desk workers and athletes.

4

Thenar Release

The guide shows the swan-head tip at the fleshy base of the thumb (thenar eminence). Use gentle pressure according to the instructions and your healthcare professional's guidance.

Pro Tips for Best Results

⏰

Daily Use

2 minutes per muscle, morning or evening. Consistency beats intensity.

🧘

Breathe Deep

Breathe comfortably and avoid forcing pressure. Stop if use causes pain or other concerning symptoms.

🚰

Stay Hydrated

Drink water after each session. Released tissue needs hydration to heal.

📈

Progressive Pressure

Start gentle. Add body weight over days. Never push through sharp pain.

Keep your guidance close.
