iliotibial band stretch

[livelifexplore]

i can feel the band going over the outside of my left knee and i have tried these stretches for a month but it makes it worse which is really weird? there is not any pain but it feels like the band goes over the outside of my knee EVEN MORE.

should i keep stretching it and it will eventually go away?

ANY advice is most welcome, thanks!

ps, i dislocated my left hip (posterior) 10 years ago, not sure if that has anything to do with my knee though?

Thanks for the clear and concise video by far the closest to how my physio described it!

is it normal to have pain when your stretch?

[benguck]

you may have the "stretch feeling" but should not increase pain beyond your prior level

Good, basic stretch for the ITB. I'm surprised WDLeonardi didn't know about it. It seems like every site about ITBS touts it.

Nice. Never seen this one before. Looks like a good one! Cheers.
