As Seen On
Where Does It Hurt?
Most lower back pain traces back to a handful of deep, hard-to-reach muscles. Tap where you feel it — the Claw is shaped to release the muscle behind it.
The QL: the #1 troublemaker in lower back pain
The Quadratus Lumborum connects your spine to your pelvis. When it's tight and angry, it grips like a vice and refers pain across your whole lower back. The Claw's namesake ridge is molded to hook directly into the QL — a spot foam rollers and massage balls can't isolate.
Release your QL with the Claw →
Iliacus & Psoas: the sitting-all-day muscles
Your hip flexors shorten every hour you spend in a chair, tilting your pelvis and loading your lower back. The Claw's contour lets you sink bodyweight into the iliacus and psoas slowly and safely — the same release a therapist does with their thumbs.
Release your hip flexors with the Claw →
Glute Medius: the hidden hip stabilizer
A tight glute medius shows up as outer-hip ache and low back stiffness after walking or standing. Lay onto the Claw, find the tender spot, breathe — and let 2–3 minutes of steady pressure do what a lacrosse ball keeps rolling off of.
Release your glutes with the Claw →
Piriformis: the sciatica-like pain source
The piriformis sits right over the sciatic nerve. When it spasms, you feel it down your glute and leg. The Claw holds precise, sustained pressure on the piriformis while you control the intensity with your own bodyweight.
Release your piriformis with the Claw →Clinic-Level Muscle Release In 3 Steps
No cords, no batteries, no appointments. Just your bodyweight and 2–3 minutes per muscle.
Place the Claw
Use the included pain location chart to set the Claw under the muscle that's causing your pain.
Lay on & breathe
Lower yourself slowly and breathe deeply for 2–3 minutes — signaling your body it's safe to let go.
Feel the release
Tension melts, movement comes back. Use it before bed, after workouts, or anytime you feel tight.

QL Claw vs. Everything You've Already Tried
Foam rollers are too broad. Massage balls roll off the spot. Clinics work — at $100+ a visit, forever. The Claw was engineered for the one job they all miss.

Built By A Guy Who Was Fed Up With Back Pain
"My name is Ben, creator of the QL Claw. I built the Claw after 4 years of crippling back pain — 4 years of missing my favorite sports, bouncing from clinic to clinic, never getting lasting relief.
The fix was targeted, intentional deep tissue massage on the predictable muscles that cause back pain when tight. There wasn't a tool that could effectively release them all — so, being a biomedical engineer and fed up, I made one.
Did it work? Today I compete in CrossFit, hockey, and golf pain-free — and I haven't been to a clinic in 4 years."
— Ben, Biomedical Engineer & Founder
Recommended By The People Who Treat Back Pain
Physicians, chiropractors, and physical therapists use the Claw in their own clinics — and send it home with patients.
"I have treated chronic pelvic, back and hip pain for 16 years. The QL Claw's unique design is much more effective in my experience in releasing muscles like the QL than other tools on the market… it can penetrate to deeper layers of the muscle."
"An absolute game-changer, personally and professionally. I keep one at each clinic and one at home. As a chiropractor, I see QL dysfunction in nearly every case of low back pain — the Claw helps clear out muscle spasms and reduces spinal guarding."
"I enjoy using the QL Claw as a tool for helping my clients alleviate symptoms of back and hip pain. The Claw is easy to use and has helped support my clients throughout the different phases of their rehab journey."
In The Recovery Bags Of Pro Athletes
"A game changer for me and my body… its size is perfect for travel. The QL Claw has become a staple in my recovery!"
"Being in control of exactly where to release, with my desired pressure levels, has not been possible without trainers — until the Claw."
"Like having a portable massage therapist in your bag… after a few minutes of targeted pressure, the knots begin to melt away."
"Lower back pain can be a frustrating mystery, even for professional athletes — the QL Claw is a great device to help solve it."
