http://www.my-pilates-exercises.com.html Iliotibial Band Stretch: If you have Iliotibial band syndrome, you know already that this really hurts! It's caused by a very tight iliotibial band (ITB), and is difficult to stretch effectively. There are lots of ITB stretches out there, but do they work? The ITB muscle is made up of a wide flat tendon, and runs down the side of ythe leg from the hip to below the knee. When tight, it aches, and can cause problems in both the hip, knee, lower back as well as the length of the outside upper leg. The ITB is a common injury zone for sportspeople.Explore: http://www.my-pilates-exercises.com/Like: http://www.facebook.com/pamelawhitepilatesMore Pamela Videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/pamelawhitepilates

Jan 15, 2012 - Just wondering how you avoid hurting your wrists. I've been foam rolling for months and it always hurts my wrist to be up like you were by just your wrists while calf rolling, hamstrings, etc. Now I actually pulled a tendon or something just from doing like you. Any tips?? Or other ways to do it without straining the wrist?

The iliotibial band is more like a tendon than a muscle on your outside thighs. One end attaches to the ilium (side hip) and the other to the tibia in the lower leg. To see more, go to my website.

Oct 16, 2011 - Foam rollers are the best. I make a lot of jokes that one day they're going to put massage therapists out of business. This being an adhesion you should also be doing work to lift the tissues apart from each other - such as with a cupping tool, or even with a plunger as I saw somebody do in another video here (clever, and cheaper!) As well as good deep stretches.
