Tightness in the iliacus and psoas muscles (your hip flexors) can contribute to snapping hip syndrome. These muscles insert near your hip at the inside of the femur in the groin region. Tension in these muscles restricts your ability to move your hip freely in certain ranges of motion, where the iliopsoas may catch on and then “snap” over the head of the femur as you move your leg. This snapping sensation may be pain-free for some, while for others it could be rather uncomfortable. Either way, it is a sign of tension in the psoas and iliacus that needs to be released.
The Mark is designed to apply pressure to the iliacus and psoas muscles to reduce tightness. When used consistently over time, the Mark can help support better movement and an improved alignment of the hips and pelvis and reduce the snapping sensation felt in your hips.
