Tuesday’s Tip- Change how you foam roll your IT band. Your It band is not something that you should roll on directly. It does not stretch, become more pliable or “release.” It is a thick piece of connective tissue that connects at the tensor fasciae latae or TFL and below the knee on the lateral side. The IT band’s job is to stabilize the knee. It is a source of knee pain in runners as it becomes irritated from moving from behind the femur to the front. Foam rolling directly on it creates excess stress at the origin and insertion points and keeps you hurting longer. Hit it at 35degree angles as you roll the edges or use a roller stick to help decrease the inflammation at the edges.
