We're excited to share that Susie Reiner, PhD, CSCS, EP-C, our Head of Science, recently presented new research on our signature Mark product, also known as the original hip hook.

At the North American Society for the Psychology of Sport and Physical Activity (NASPSPA) Annual Conference, we shared findings from a recent third-party validation study. The results showed that individuals with non-specific low back pain experienced improved acute and long-term pain outcomes and an increased internal locus of control related to their back pain. This was observed when using the Mark over static stretching in a 6-week intervention.

These compelling findings support that the Mark can be an effective tool for managing low back pain, helping users feel more empowered, autonomous, and in control of their recovery journey.

When using the Mark, it is important to find a level of pressure that is right for your body. The standing technique provides a medium amount of pressure compared to using our Orbit ball on the ground (less) and lying over the Mark on the ground (more).

The ideal setup is around the corner of a wall or through an open doorway, giving you space for your head and upper body to go when leaning into the tip of the Mark. To increase the pressure, step one foot back and use it to press yourself towards the wall. Keep your core relaxed and let the tip sink in.

You may use a yoga block (or similar) to create even more space between your body and the wall, which will allow for the most pressure from the standing position. The yoga block is also a great accessory for when you do not have access to a corner of a wall or open doorway.

The Mark is the most versatile tool for releasing the hip flexors because of its ability to apply direct and precise pressure to both the psoas and iliacus. While they are often thought of as being the same muscle, they are in fact 2 separate muscles that are accessed differently using the Mark.

The psoas muscle runs through your midsection and is best accessed with perpendicular pressure. The platform of the Mark will be flat on the ground and the tip will press up into the psoas. Explore the area about halfway between your pelvic bone and the midline of your body to find your psoas.

The iliacus muscle lines the inside surface of your pelvic bone and is best accessed with angular pressure. Place the tip of the Mark relatively closer to your pelvic bone. Press down on the handle to rotate the tip towards the inside of the pelvic bone to press on the iliacus.

Here’s an idea to try the next time you use a barbell in a squat rack to massage your upper traps. Wedge the open side of the Range around the barbell and line up the tips along your upper traps. Breathe and relax as you let the tips of the Range sink in deeper to your muscles.
