Spring Test Practice Tool

Practice tool for developing the skill of Hesch Springing with AwarenessTM.  Molded to fit the hand comfortably, it mimics normal load (taking up the slack), and spring and recoil for testing passive accessory motion in the pelvis and large bony landmarks throughout the body.  Loads at about 15-18lbs psi then springs at 30-32lbs psi, the same as the pelvic joints, allowing the practitioner to quickly develop comfort and skill in performing Hesch Springing with AwarenessTM.

---

Vertical SI Support Strap

Designed by Hesch Institute, the vertical SI support is designed to enhance vertical stability and support the vertical SI ligaments, unlike any other sacroiliac support.  Vertical instabilities can be subtle and often times missed by clinicians.  Guess work is taken out because the client will feel immediate relief when vertical support is applied in the presence of vertical instability.  Made of durable comfortable webbing with Synthetic lambs wool comfort pads for shoulder and ischial tuberosity.

Foam Mobilization Rolls

These foam rolls are used in the clinic and for self-treatment (home program).  They are flexible, yet firm and hold their shape after initial deformation.  These rolls mobilize soft and dense connective tissue/fascia and joints.  Various sizes offered, including: 

Sacral Foam Roll - SOFT

SOFT - 1-1/2" diameter roll in 4-1/2" length.  Ideal for small frame individuals of less than 120lbs.  Especially ideal for patients in acute pain who tolerate only mild pressure, such as clients with fibromyalgia, etc.  Loads slowly over 5 seconds to bottom out at a comfortable 50% height at 15# psi.  Can be used in other parts of the body, such as trigger points, and for gentle soft tissue release.  By using less pressure the clients tolerate the foam roll for a longer period of time, making for effective and long-lasting benefit.

The rubber foam has similar viscoelastic properties to muscle, fascia, and soft connective tissues. It's a soft foam much like what is used in stress balls.

---

Sacral Foam Roll - FIRM

FIRM - 1-1/4" diameter roll in 4-1/4" length.  Made with 1/2" medium density foam with center hardwood dowel, plasti-dipped 4 times for long lasting durability and ease of cleaning.  Deforms only slightly and quickly to a firm body-foam interface.  Comfortable for those of medium to large body type (average weight over 120 lbs).  Tolerated well by those with sub-acute, or milder pain.

The combination of the rubber foam and center wooden dowel has similar viscoelastic properties to muscle, fascia, denser connective tissues, and joints.
