Brooks sent me an interesting article yesterday regarding IT band pain. I have to admit that I am guilty of rolling up and down my IT band as it has been bothering me for a few months now, as well as the TFL muscle shown in the picture. Normally I wouldn’t say guilty, but I have been doing this for a while now and it only temporary helps. Let’s just say, I knew I was treating a symptom, but it’s because I was (might still be) unsure of the cause.
The following article: Your IT Band is Not the Enemy (But Maybe Your Foam Roller Is), had some interesting information pointing towards a likely cause of IT band and TFL pain. I tried the recommended exercise in the article and as dumb as it may look, it literally kicked my ass. Gonna give it a shot for a little while and see if it helps.
