Ah, I see...just like the Ober test for tight IT, but as a self-stretch.  I dig it.

I've been plagued with tight IT band/snapping hip syndrome for the last 6 months. I had to miss xc season because of this. track season has already started should I go back to running? Also I've been in physical therapy for the last 6 months. When I run it feels like my injured leg (right) something is missing like a muscle or it feels weaker. I've had an MRI and X-Ray done on it and on the MRI they found a little bubble.  Should I go back to running?

@LuckytheAsian sorry to hear about your problems--injuries can be very frustrating. Without evaluating you I cannot give full recommendations. However, we believe that most injuries can be healed by first controlling pain/inflammation, then getting full joint and tissue mobility (where this stretch REALLY helps), followed by strengthening and return to function. Good luck!

This really hurts in the side of my knee? Am I doing it wrong or is that normal? :)

[Heeluxe]

@Football0Lover Great question. It is common for people with a lot of tightness and/or irritation to the bursa (cushion on the lateral side of the knee) to experience this. I recommend stretching up to the first point of pain but not beyond it, and taking a walk break in between rounds of stretching. The pain should decrease after 10-14 days of consistent stretching.

Great stretch! Only trouble is keeping the hips from rolling back!
