Aletha The Range

Aletha The Range is a self-massage tool carrying three pairs of tips at three widths, shaped for the upper trapezius, the suboccipitals at the base of the skull and the pectoralis minor on the chest wall. Each width is set by its distance from the spine, which lets one tool reach the muscles close in and further out. You choose a pair, then lie on the tool or lean into a wall and breathe slowly while the tips settle in. At 9 oz it travels in a gym bag, and it is made in the USA.

Together, the three muscles it reaches make up the Secondary Core, which an Aletha routine works after the hips.

The shape

How it works

Each of the three pairs is aimed at a different column of muscle, and the column is defined by how far it sits from the bones of your spine.

Tip Width Is a Distance From the Spine

The narrow pair targets the muscles closest to the spine, the medium pair the muscles in between, and the wide pair the muscles furthest from the spine. Choosing a pair sets which column of muscle the contact lands on, with nothing about the hold itself changing. Work through all three across a session before you settle on one.

Three widths

The Tips Are Cut to Sit Between Muscles

The suboccipitals are a small group of deep muscles at the base of the skull, and they sit close together in a space a broad shape cannot get into. A ball or a roller presses across the whole area at once because it is round and wide. The Range carries pointed pairs shaped to drop between the smaller muscles, and the three widths exist so the pair you use matches the gap you are aiming at.

Three pairs of tips

A Molded Body With Nothing That Moves

The Range is one molded piece with no moving parts and no battery. It is built in the USA from a polycarbonate and ABS blend with a thermoplastic elastomer surface. Small enough to sit in one hand, it works on any hard floor.

One piece

Your Own Weight Supplies Every Hold

Two of the three positions put the Range on the floor and let your body settle onto it, and the third puts it against a wall so you can lean your chest into it. On the floor you can add load by pushing through your feet with your knees bent, which slides your body toward the tips by a controlled amount. At a wall you add load by leaning further in. Every position holds for 90 seconds while you breathe deeply, then you move the tool and start again.

Using the Range

How to use it

Upper trapezius

On Your Back With Your Knees Bent

For the upper trapezius you lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, and you place the Range so the tips sit on the top of the shoulder where the muscle runs into the neck. To find the muscle, grab the top of the shoulder between your neck and your arm and shrug. Pressure starts as whatever your body weight gives you lying still. Pushing through your feet then drives your body toward the tips by as much or as little as you want, which is a finer control than shifting your shoulders around. Give it the 90-second hold, breathing deeply, then move the tool along the muscle and take the next spot.

The same muscle can also be worked standing with a barbell at the gym, lying with a chair at home, or standing around a wall corner or an open doorway.

Suboccipitals

The Head Rests Over It at the Skull Base

The suboccipitals sit at the base of the skull, where the head meets the neck, and they are small and deep. The position for them is the simplest of the three: lie on your back with your knees bent and rest the weight of your head over the tips, with the tool sitting just under the ridge at the bottom of the skull. To find the spot, feel for the two bony bumps at the base of the skull, just above the hairline; three muscle groups run along that path. Your head is doing all of the pressing, so there is nothing to push and nothing to lean. Supporting your head with your hands or a pillow lightens the pressure. Stay there while you breathe, then change the tip width or move the tool a little and take another spot.

Pectoralis minor

Against a Wall for the Front of the Shoulder

The pectoralis minor sits on the chest wall underneath the front of the shoulder, and a wall is the easiest surface for it, though it also works lying on the floor. To find it, put a hand over your heart and feel just under the collarbone with your fingertips; any pair of tips works here. You hold the Range against the wall with the tips facing you, stand close, and lean your chest in until the tips are where you want them. How far you lean is how much pressure you get, and standing makes that easy to dial up and down mid-hold. A yoga block buys extra room, and standing around a wall corner adds pressure. Breathe slowly while the tips settle in, then adjust your position or change the pair of tips and go once more.

Aletha Range Questions

Frequently asked questions

Three groups. The upper trapezius across the top of the shoulder and into the neck, the suboccipitals at the base of the skull, and the pectoralis minor on the chest wall under the front of the shoulder. Each one has its own body position, and the first two work from the floor while the third works against a wall.

They differ by distance from your spine. The narrow pair reaches the muscles closest to the spine, the medium pair the muscles in between, and the wide pair the muscles furthest from it. Taken together, the three pairs of tips span 1.63 in. to 3.06 in. The pair you pick changes nothing else.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat, and set the tips on the top of the shoulder where the trapezius runs into the neck. Push through your feet to move your body toward the tips and add as much pressure as you want. Hold still while you breathe deeply, then move the tool along and take the next spot.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and rest your head over the tips, with the tool just under the ridge at the bottom of the skull where the suboccipitals sit. The weight of your head is the only pressure involved, so there is nothing to push against. Then switch tip width or move the tool slightly for the next spot.

Stand and hold the Range against a wall with the tips facing you, then lean your chest in until the tips sit under the front of the shoulder where the pectoralis minor lies. Leaning further in adds pressure and standing back takes it away, all without leaving the position. It also works lying on the floor, or standing around a wall corner for more pressure.

90 seconds in each position, held still and breathing deeply, then relocate or change the tip width and repeat. Keep the pressure moderate enough that you can stay settled and keep breathing slowly. Work one to three spots per day on each side of the body.

5.06 in. long, 3.94 in. high and 9 oz. The build is a polycarbonate and ABS blend with a thermoplastic elastomer surface, and Aletha builds it in the USA.

Do not use it if you have, or suspect you have, a vertebral artery insufficiency, aneurysm, or vascular disease in the area. Do not use it on the chest if you have an increased risk of lymphedema. If you have a pre-existing condition of any kind, consult your doctor before use; Aletha products are not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18.

Aletha backs it with a 365-day warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The cover runs from the date of purchase for the original purchaser, and Aletha either repairs the tool or supplies a replacement, at its own discretion. It does not cover alteration, misuse, abuse, accidents, neglect, excess moisture, fire, improper shipping, power surges or acts of nature.

The Range works above the waist with three fixed tip widths and no moving parts. The Mark works at the front of the hip and carries a rotating joint that changes the angle of one tip. Both use the same still hold, and the Full Body System carries both in one box.
