Finding the "right spot" in the release zone

Created by Dr Sonia Rai, Modified on Fri, 11 Apr at 4:42 PM by Dr Sonia Rai

If you've read the instructions manual and watched the how-to videos, you know we use the term "release zone" to describe where you can use the Mark.


The "release zone" for your hip flexors is located in the lower abdominal region of your body, just inside your pelvic bone and above the hip crease on each side.



This area is about the size of your hand, as shown in the image above. Find this area on your body and notice there is plenty of space to explore.


You will need to move the tool around to different spots in the release zone to find where YOU are tight on YOUR body. This could mean:


  • Move it higher or lower
  • Move it closer to the hip bone
  • Move it further from the hip bone
  • Press down on the handle
  • Angle the handle up or down
  • Any combination of the above


When you've found a tender spot, hold consistent pressure (without moving) for at least 90 seconds as you relax and breathe. You may hold the pressure for longer if your tight muscles can soften more.


After this time has passed, explore the release zone for more tight spots. Anywhere covered by your hand is fair game. Just remember to stay above the hip crease when using the Mark.


Watch the video below to review the release zone.
