I'm glad I found your video. knee pain for 7 months, wont go away, 2 months ive had this tightness behind my legs thats very uncomfortable. i purchased the foam roller, and did my best to use it, but i have golfers elbow and can't put pressure on my hands/elbows so i cant really use the roller effectively, can i purchase a roller meant for doe and have someone run it on me? would it be the same?... or have any suggestions? thx for your upload
@Peyman77gt for my clients with weak wrists or dirt phobias that don't want to use the floor you can set yourself up underneath a bar like a smith machine and hang from the bar to support your body weight. Yes someone else can roll the roller on you and it is effective. I do that regularly with a couple clients that cannot tolerate the pain of fully rolling their body weight.
@jasoncscs thanks for your reply, the sides of my thighs are somewhat badly bruised from using the roller, is that normal? should i wait until the bruises go away before i try doing it again?
@Peyman77gt yup. You overcooked it a bit. Be gentle. Wait until the bruising subsides. It just means you were a little aggressive. Go slow. Take it easy. It is better to do a tiny bit frequently than to do the whole thing immediately.
if i saw you in person i would probably give you a bro hug (no homo) cuz this cured my chronic knee pain after the first time. i did triceps today and i did it for about 30 seconds inbetween each set and now my knee feels so much better! thanks!!
@crotchrockett004 awwwww buddy! Glad to hear you feel better. Keep the roller going a little bit every week even though you don't have pain. It keeps it from coming back!

Hey Jason. I've been commenting on this vid off and on for years now. Thanks again for all the help. I recently started working at a gym, and I was wondering which muscle groups I should develop to take pressure off my patellar tendon. I've heard that working your inner leg is supposed to be good for it. also, I already purchased the roller, which has helped the pain. I wanna get rid of this damn pain once and for all.
@pistol345 Hi! Sorry for the delay. Yes you can work your inner thigh. But also pay attention to the ankle and calf. Make sure there is no tightness or restriction there and then work to balance the flexibility and strength in the hamstrings and quads. If you can find a way to do lunges pain free then you can work towards an integrated movement pattern that will help to integrate everything you have done so far.
@CwAnDy156 For about 5min per session and maybe 1x day to get out of acute pain. Then usually after every workout. I make my clients who run, who occasionally have pain, or who exhibit some kind of tightness, do this at least 2x week.
@jasoncscs i do alot of running, cycling and boxing training. i have a pain in my left knee when bending it against resistance and also when i place my left ankle on my right knee in a seated position.... i have tried every stretch i know including the foam roller. any ideas?
@mrmrgino1983 Double check the flexibility of your posterior chain. Your calf, achillies, and hamstrings. Sometimes the tightness somewhere in that chain can affect the placement of the patella.
My physical therapist also showed me this exercise and said I should do that everyday since I like running so much. However, do you know if there's a way to run without losing losing cartilage? My MRI results showed that I lost a lot of cartilage, despite the fact that I've been taking glucosamine for the past several years (although not everyday, as I probably should have. Thanks for the video.
@splbandita I do not know about losing cartilage from running. I'm pretty sure glucosamine wont help that much enough that if you can keep taking it. But there must be a reason why you are losing cartilage...
referring back to my question regarding how frequently to do this, i read on some website that it is sometimes reccommended to even do this 12 times a day?! the pain is excrutiating (on my right it band), i think ill start wearing a mouth guard so i dont damage my teeth from all the clenching.
@GetSqueaky Yes basically every day especially in the beginning. Definitely after or before your workout. 12 times a day is probably way too much. Just once or twice should do the trick. You will know it is working when you can do it with less pain.
every time i roll, my leg feels so much better so i stop rolling, and then the knee popping+pain comes back again and I am back to this again.. does this mean I have to roll EVERY day even when it is not hurting? how often should I roll?
nice tip... i ran a few weeks ago.. thats the first time i ran after about a year.. and i ran for about 2 hrs with brisk walking intervals... and then after 2 days i started to feel pain on the side of my left knee... everytime i go up and down the stairs i feel it... and up until now... i still feel it when i shoot hoops.. but not to the extent that its really painful, i just felt it afterwards.. is this PFTD? How long will i feel this kind of pain...
well..i went to the gym shorty after i saw this!...and kind of stole it and walked out!...i used it for 30min with other exercise and it does feel good..how long a session should i put in
@dalton2621 glad you returned it. Karma you know... basically do it to tolerance (maybe 5min) 3-5x week at first then after every exercise session. Many people do it before as warm up.
@jasoncscs yup yup! but listen..this pain is going on 4mths now..its feels like when i put pressure"stand or walk" just pain that causes a limp..the drs told me i strecthed the ligaments! not really bad..but 4months!!if my knee bends inwards to a certain degree WOW the pain is major...is the mencis damaged? i spelled it wrong i know..
@dalton2621 If the doc said you stretched a ligament then that is most likely what happened. 4 months is nothing. Any kind of injury like that (broken bone, sprain, stretched ligament, torn acl ect) has a heal time of 6-20 months meaning it is a long long time until it gets back to 100%. If you damaged the meniscus on the other hand you will need to see a specialist for surgery to clean it up.
@jasoncscs hey man thanks again for the reply!. i am going to follow up with the dr again! im sure they are sick of seeing me but, this is one gansta limp i cant take,im thinking i tore or ripped my meniscus some? have a good day man!
i was wondering what was giving my knees trouble after sprints. it kills my knee when i sit indian style or stretch, and the exact pain is that ligament you mentioned. very nice vid.
You know what sucks i just turned sixteen and and i have severe knee pain. I am very into sports primarily soccer but cannot preform nearly the same as of late because of my knees. So far not much helps the problem.
@OwnageGamers I don't know. What I do know is that this technique is very effective at reducing the tightness that frequently occurs in the IT band and if the cause of your knee pain is the tightness in the IT band then this will help.
Seriously, you have ended 8 years of knee pain and my basketball abstinence for me. Thank you. P.s. I do the exercise with palm pressure. And it worked.
@unheardmuz AWESOME! And yes you can use palm pressure. Actually a PT taught me how to relax the leg and use my fingertips to pull the IT band into a stretch by gently pulling up towards the top of the thigh. Works well.
@folkrorefrench they are everywhere, just google foam roller. IF for some reason you cannot obtain one. 6" x 36" PVC pipe will do the trick although it will be harder and perhaps more painful
@gliccairdello Truth is after I shot this vid I was really sore for a day or so.I Kinda overdid it but otherwise all good, yes the less pain you have when doing the exercise the more flexible your IT is. In fact when you find that you can do the rolling pattern in the video with complete tolerance and zero pain then you are doing pretty good and if you still have knee pain after that then it probably isn't PFTD
@jasoncscs "and if you still have knee pain after that then it probably isn't PFTD" Hmm, on the internet I found multiple sites saying that it could also be caused my weak quads, weak parts of the quads, or tightness in your quads/hamstrings. So is it possible that it isn't only related to the IT band? I would like to know so I can vary my exercises - I plan on doing weighted squats soon.
@GetSqueaky es of course. All that is correct and PTFD is basically only the IT band and knee pain that isn't relieved from IT band release is usually something else. Any quad strengthening you can w/o pain is probably going to benefit you. Hamstrings and calves need to be loose and flexible and glutes need to be firing correctly. Lunges, step ups, pelvic tilts and other glute isolation exercises will help as well as hamstring strength and flexibility.
@jasoncscs Thanks for the advice!I had forgot to mention that I have most definitely had PTFD(willconfirm with doc this thurs)for the past several months as a result of a now healed meniscus injury in soccer. Also I had meant to say that on the internet many web pages/videos sayPTFD is probably from a lacking or tight quad.But, I did try the foam rolling technique yesterday(using a lacrosse ball)and AMAZINGLY my leg was extending perfectly WITHOUT any popping. But 2day, it started popping again.
@GetSqueaky Yeah it will take several sessions to "reteach"the muscles and tendons what to do and how to do it right. Good call on the lacrosse ball. I used a softball the other day and it worked well. Sometimes I get soreness from where I was rolling.The quad or at least the lateral portion of it (vastus lateralis) is attached to the IT band so a tight quad is a bit misleading.
@adiralove08 As far as I know: No. The fluid in the knee is a nervous system response to some kind of emergency signal. The body thinks something is wrong and attempts to save the joint by preventing it from moving. Step one... find a doctor to look at your knee and get a diagnosis.
Great video Jason. I ran cross country for my college in the fall, and injured my knee running 20 miles a week after the season. After months of trying to push through the pain on long runs, i finally stopped a few months ago. So I'm now looking to build back up, but I still get minor discomfort. Should I be foam rolling before or after my runs?
@edjames92 Try both! There are a bunch of people at my gym that roll before. I have often rolled before and I have rolled after and also independent of other exercise... the only way to find out which works best is to try it out. Try it before your runs with no other stretching. Then during your post run stretch routine use the roller as well.
I have a quick question. I am currently out of the united states and do not have access to a foam roller. Can you think of anything else that could be used. Could a two litter bottle be used filled with water? Is the too hard?
@lleiden2 Can you get access to some 6" PVC pipe? If you can get one of those and have it cut to about 3 feet you should be good to go. That will be a little hard so if you use it with a cushion between the roller and the floor it should help. Part of the genius of the foam roller is that it is a bit forgiving.
Thanks much. went for a run today and used the Roller after. feeling pretty good. Did some research and it looks like i have tendinopathy. Roller, strength and stretch are all required. thanks for the help.
Hi Jason, I sprint regularily and race probably once every 2 months either the 200m or400m. took the last 2 months off (Lazy) i put on about 3 lbs(not bad) eating junk. I started jogging to get conditioned again and now i'm getting a sharp pain at the bottom tip of my knee cap area(possible tendon). at times the sharp pain starts at the beginnig of the run then goes away about 10 min into the run. sometimes the pain is for the full duration, just lessens about 10 min into it. any suggestions?
@frankquaid Caught me at a good time (checking emails before shut eye). Yeah that could be from a lack of your normal conditioning routine, or tread wear pattern in your sneaks, lousy ankle mobility, tight plantar fascia... who knows? I do know that this technique does work to loosen a tight IT band so IF that is what is causing your knee pain THEN this will def help. AND you can't get hurt trying it.
but after sitting down in my room i feel like my whole leg is after been stretched out efficiently going work on this like four or five reps a day 3 times a week for next month and see if i feel a major difference
@waffleheadGaming sounds good! If your it is so tight it is causing problems and you can loosen it using this then you did good, should know pretty quickly too less than 1 month. Post up your findings!
wow thank's dude you wont believe what happen to me i used to do track and field
i had a cartilage tear 3/4 of my inner left knee meniscus cartilage over 2 years ago i got key hole surgery and was out action for 9 months .i still had major problem where my knee locks or weakness in my left knee.But i always have sorenee on my Patella Femoral but im after trying this out my stairs with sleeping bag lying on one side as you did in your vid have to amit i felt a lot tension and my sever pain
I sometime get a sharp pain in my knee when I'm doing squats or lunges, and there is a great deal of pain. Also, my knees crack when i bend them. Any idea what may be the cause of these symptoms?
@TylerSarry26 There could be many reasons why you have pain in squat or lunge. First thing I would do is get a certified fitness pro to take a look at your form and make sure it is correct. Many knees crack when bending esp under resistance and sometimes that is ok, sometimes it is not. You can certainly try rolling, it can only help you.
hi i have knee pain on the inner side of both my knees from doing squats, so now i cant squat at all now its like a sharp pain shooting on my knee would it be the same thanks
@sgtpete1 my guess is no. There are many things it could be... meniscus problem, MCL, capsule... you can try rolling like in the video and it maybe might help my guess is it won't really but it couldn't hurt to try.
Great video. I am sure this is what I've been suffering lately. I've been training for a marathon, which takes place this Sunday..., and during my long runs after going down and up some hills around mile 13, I get a pain on the outside of my knee. After a while, specially when I go down some more hills it gets quite painful.
Question: I started doing these exercises last week and they seem to help. How many sessions would I require before the IT band is stretched enough to be pain free? Tks
@JohnnieRules Good Luck on the marathon! The roller will do its' magic right away and you might only need a few weeks of 1x day to make it feel better most of the time. But IT tightness comes and goes just like muscle soreness from hard workouts... you are never really permanently immune. But once the 1st part is done you can use the roller about 1x week and maintain.
Could this help with knee pain after ACL surgery? Can sitting around waiting to heal cause this? I received 0 hours of physical therapy and have kinda been on my own for this whole experience. It has been really Fun....Haha
@starsbee17 I am really really surprised that you have had no PT! After an ACL repair?! That seems crazy. Rolling like this will probably not help (couldn't hurt but probably won't help) you need to be researching the exercises to do to get your knee back online. $ is not the problem here. Sell your most prized possession if you have to get it together to see a PT at least 1x they can give you a list of exercises to do at home. It will not automatically get better you have to teach it!!
Great vid very well explained, got my roller my knees do feel better already after a week. How often should I do this stretching exercise should they be rest days in between.
@gottarun101 If your knees are feeling better then you can take rest days. Yes. Some people roll religiously before every workout. I have a few of my clients roll after every workout but that still comes to about 3x week.
@mokunakoi You can try to use the roller (don't cross the joint!) like in the video and it might help. Give it a few tries. If you do not get relief after a few sessions then you do not have PFTD
@mokunakoi gonna have to get one. Perform better, mf athletic, gopher sports, power systems, there are many retailers out there. Google foam roller and you will find many options.
@mokunakoi yeah you bet. The roller is a must have for fixing all kinds of skeletal muscular dysfunction so if it doesn't help your knee right now it will help other things for a long time.
hey, i got a problem with my right knee, i cant seem to lock my right knee,when i try to do it,it hurts and i feel like the side of my knee is beeing thared, should i be doing this to correct this problem?(consulted a doctor and said i dont have any bone damage)
ok i am thirteen and i skateboard a lot and when i bend down to da a trick my knee cracks and i hate it and after a day of skating for like and hour it hurts and i love skating and i dnt wanna stop cuz of my knee i also went to the doctor and they said it is proubly cuz i feel and damaged it and tht was like 6 months ago and it got worst hlp plzz
@PlanBsk8er4life07 you can try rolling, it can only help. But if your knee hurts from trauma then you probably have a deeper problem than a tight IT band
and it feels like it's around the kneecap. Also have crunchy kneecaps where both of mine crunch when I extend my leg when sitting in a chair (also feels funny) and this really bothers my left knee.
I was going to ask regarding quad sets-- do you know if one should lock the knee when doing a quad set or leg raises or foam rolling or not? Should I seek to relax the quads during foam rolling?
@xtweeter1224 ok From the end back to the beginning: Yes lock the knee during quad sets IF you have light or no resistance AND you have no crunching or pain. Same for leg raises. When foam rolling then yes relax your legs. Do not make your legs crunch when sitting in a chair and extending your legs, sorta like working a sore tooth... leave it alone. Sitting for long periods deconditions the muscles and often results in something not sitting correctly when you try to move. Roll every day 1wk.
Still struggling with kneecap problems and sadly I haven't done any foam rolling long enough to really be sure if it's the IT band or not-- I'm going to do it for a week straight to see.. I can't figure anything out with it. Anyways, something I've noticed is that when I walk after I've been sitting for a while, my hip starts making a popping noise. I have been getting a weird feeling around my knee after my run for up to two days-- sometimes just a random "weird" senation...
watsup man my right knee has just started giving me problems especially when i go down or up stairs and when i bend at like a 85 to 90 degree angle. i dont know if its because my muscles are pulling it off track causing it to eat at my cartilage un evenly, maybe even a torn meniscus or a mcl problem? any advice would be helpful thankyou
@96753HAWAII start rolling. If you don't get relief after about 5 sessions (over the course of a week) then your problem is not going to be just a tight IT band
Does this include "inside" knee pain...i think it's my mcl...burning pain on inside of my right knee with the burning sensation going down my shin...would you recommend another exercise similar to this one?
When i drive my right knee,lower leg,and hamstring have massive pain. Sometimes I have to stop and walk for a couple minutes to stop the pain.My knee has been in pain for 5 weeks, the only thing that helps is ibuprofen but I don't like taking it too much. I played alot of basketball so I am figuring it's strained. Does this sound like a common complaint ? do you think that stretch may help?
i know this sounds weird but my knee doesn't hurt when i put pressure on it but when i'm walking it actually hurts on the "return"...does that make sense? the pain is on the inside of my knee (left side of my right knee) i'm totally perplexed...maybe you have an idea?
@seansaccount101 Yes I have gotten that too. Check your hamstring and calf flexibility. It seems to stem from an imbalance caused by too much tension in the posterior chain.
i've already been diagnosed with a subluxing patella (my knee cap dislocates out of the femoral groove). i had this injury over 20 years ago. i can't recall how many times my patella slipped out while playing roller hockey.
@ccmeaston most likely, yes it is too late. This technique addresses the tightness that occurs with relatively healthy knees that have a slight imbalance, or adhesions above the knee. It wont hurt to try it, however and you may experience some relief but if it has been 20 years then most likely not.
@efcdk92 I've been having the same problem.. Out of nowhere pretty much my right knee started hurting and my left knee followed.. I got an x-ray and my doctor said that nothing seems to be wrong. So I'm gonna try these exercises.
only MRI can detect soft tissue injuries (meniscus, ligament & tendons). traditionally regular x-rays are done to see if there is any bone fractures. after that MRI is ordered to rule out internal soft tissue derangement.
traditionally x-rays are odered to detect bone fractures. afer that MRI will be ordered to rule out internal soft tissue (meniscus, ligament, tendon) dereangement. Good Luck!
great video! im just wondering this, when my fot is in the air and i bend it up and down it doesnt hurt at all. but when i stand on the ground and put preassure on it then bend it down or up it hurts a little bit, so my question is. do you think this technique will work then?
@shirgit wow, finally someone who actually knows what he's talking about! my right knee suddenly started feeling like heat sensation but waht realy bugs me is it makes squishy sounds. i went to dr but hes scary n i left i used to run 4 to 5 k a day fr the last 5 years straight after my bby but now it realy bugs me, so ima buy a roller n try it
I'm a pretty avid runner and I believe I have this. Think if the tendon in the back of my knee sort of pops, if you will, along with the knee pain it's probably this? I'm definitely going to be trying this alot more though, I used to do it more last track season but this XC season I got a bit lazy which has made my legs alot worse aha.
@FiremanSteve Thanks bro! Google "foam roller" and you will get a bunch of options Perform Better, Power Systems, and MF Athletic are all reliable and sell a lot of the foam roller, they are all basically the same diamter (a few exceptions) with different densities and lengths.
Had an issue where I "tweeked" my knee. Felt better when wearing a knee brace but was not getting better. Used the foam roller and its helped a lot...It is not easy to do at first but keep rolling it will get looser.
@europebol Hi I wouldn't call it an illness so much as a condition and most people have a tight IT band to some degree and they play all the time on it, it just needs to be loosened up or eventually your pain will be bad enough that you can't do anything.
@SGTkiitty hi there, you probably should talk to a trainer or coach at your school and see if you can get a little extra attention to help you learn some things to do to make your legs stronger. It isn't much different from extra credit in any class... just a little learning of the correct technique is all.
both off my knees hurt and im only a kid its hurt for 3 day now people say what happens when you are older i do LOT OF SKATATING so i think thats the problem

@GetSqueaky Yes basically every day especially in the beginning. Definitely after or before your workout. 12 times a day is probably way too much. Just once or twice should do the trick. You will know it is working when you can do it with less pain.

every time i roll, my leg feels so much better so i stop rolling, and then the knee popping+pain comes back again and I am back to this again.. does this mean I have to roll EVERY day even when it is not hurting? how often should I roll?

nice tip... i ran a few weeks ago.. thats the first time i ran after about a year.. and i ran for about 2 hrs with brisk walking intervals... and then after 2 days i started to feel pain on the side of my left knee... everytime i go up and down the stairs i feel it... and up until now... i still feel it when i shoot hoops.. but not to the extent that its really painful, i just felt it afterwards.. is this PFTD? How long will i feel this kind of pain...

dalton2621 6 months ago
@dalton2621 If the doc said you stretched a ligament then that is most likely what happened. 4 months is nothing. Any kind of injury like that (broken bone, sprain, stretched ligament, torn acl ect) has a heal time of 6-20 months meaning it is a long long time until it gets back to 100%. If you damaged the meniscus on the other hand you will need to see a specialist for surgery to clean it up.

Good video, Is there a relationship from having less pain when doing the exercise to have a more flexible IT band? Can this exercise be overdone?

greg
gliccairdello 8 months ago
@gliccairdello Truth is after I shot this vid I was really sore for a day or so.I Kinda overdid it but otherwise all good, yes the less pain you have when doing the exercise the more flexible your IT is. In fact when you find that you can do the rolling pattern in the video with complete tolerance and zero pain then you are doing pretty good and if you still have knee pain after that then it probably isn't PFTD
jasoncscs 8 months ago
@jasoncscs "and if you still have knee pain after that then it probably isn't PFTD" Hmm, on the internet I found multiple sites saying that it could also be caused my weak quads, weak parts of the quads, or tightness in your quads/hamstrings. So is it possible that it isn't only related to the IT band? I would like to know so I can vary my exercises - I plan on doing weighted squats soon.
GetSqueaky 8 months ago
@GetSqueaky es of course. All that is correct and PTFD is basically only the IT band and knee pain that isn't relieved from IT band release is usually something else. Any quad strengthening you can w/o pain is probably going to benefit you. Hamstrings and calves need to be loose and flexible and glutes need to be firing correctly. Lunges, step ups, pelvic tilts and other glute isolation exercises will help as well as hamstring strength and flexibility.
jasoncscs 8 months ago
@jasoncscs Thanks for the advice!I had forgot to mention that I have most definitely had PTFD(willconfirm with doc this thurs)for the past several months as a result of a now healed meniscus injury in soccer. Also I had meant to say that on the internet many web pages/videos sayPTFD is probably from a lacking or tight quad.But, I did try the foam rolling technique yesterday(using a lacrosse ball)and AMAZINGLY my leg was extending perfectly WITHOUT any popping. But 2day, it started popping again.
GetSqueaky 8 months ago
@GetSqueaky Yeah it will take several sessions to "reteach"the muscles and tendons what to do and how to do it right. Good call on the lacrosse ball. I used a softball the other day and it worked well. Sometimes I get soreness from where I was rolling.The quad or at least the lateral portion of it (vastus lateralis) is attached to the IT band so a tight quad is a bit misleading.
jasoncscs 8 months ago
quick question dose this tightness cause a build up of water in the knee?? if so can this remove it? in a way?
adiralove08 8 months ago
@adiralove08 As far as I know: No. The fluid in the knee is a nervous system response to some kind of emergency signal. The body thinks something is wrong and attempts to save the joint by preventing it from moving. Step one... find a doctor to look at your knee and get a diagnosis.

After months of trying to push through the pain on long runs, i finally stopped a few months ago. So I'm now looking to build back up, but I still get minor discomfort. Should I be foam rolling before or after my runs?
edjames92 8 months ago
@edjames92 Try both! There are a bunch of people at my gym that roll before. I have often rolled before and I have rolled after and also independent of other exercise... the only way to find out which works best is to try it out. Try it before your runs with no other stretching. Then during your post run stretch routine use the roller as well.

@lleiden2 Can you get access to some 6" PVC pipe? If you can get one of those and have it cut to about 3 feet you should be good to go. That will be a little hard so if you use it with a cushion between the roller and the floor it should help. Part of the genius of the foam roller is that it is a bit forgiving.

Hi Jason, I sprint regularily and race probably once every 2 months either the 200m or400m. took the last 2 months off (Lazy) i put on about 3 lbs(not bad) eating junk. I started jogging to get conditioned again and now i'm getting a sharp pain at the bottom tip of my knee cap area(possible tendon). at times the sharp pain starts at the beginnig of the run then goes away about 10 min into the run. sometimes the pain is for the full duration, just lessens about 10 min into it. any suggestions?
frankquaid 8 months ago
@frankquaid Caught me at a good time (checking emails before shut eye). Yeah that could be from a lack of your normal conditioning routine, or tread wear pattern in your sneaks, lousy ankle mobility, tight plantar fascia... who knows? I do know that this technique does work to loosen a tight IT band so IF that is what is causing your knee pain THEN this will def help. AND you can't get hurt trying it.

@TylerSarry26 There could be many reasons why you have pain in squat or lunge. First thing I would do is get a certified fitness pro to take a look at your form and make sure it is correct. Many knees crack when bending esp under resistance and sometimes that is ok, sometimes it is not. You can certainly try rolling, it can only help you.

Great video. I am sure this is what I've been suffering lately. I've been training for a marathon, which takes place this Sunday..., and during my long runs after going down and up some hills around mile 13, I get a pain on the outside of my knee. After a while, specially when I go down some more hills it gets quite painful.
Question: I started doing these exercises last week and they seem to help. How many sessions would I require before the IT band is stretched enough to be pain free? Tks
JohnnieRules 9 months ago
@JohnnieRules Good Luck on the marathon! The roller will do its' magic right away and you might only need a few weeks of 1x day to make it feel better most of the time. But IT tightness comes and goes just like muscle soreness from hard workouts... you are never really permanently immune. But once the 1st part is done you can use the roller about 1x week and maintain.

@starsbee17 I am really really surprised that you have had no PT! After an ACL repair?! That seems crazy.

Sell your most prized possession if you have to get it together to see a PT at least 1x they can give you a list of exercises to do at home. It will not automatically get better you have to teach it!!

jasoncscs 11 months ago
and it feels like it's around the kneecap. Also have crunchy kneecaps where both of mine crunch when I extend my leg when sitting in a chair (also feels funny) and this really bothers my left knee.
I was going to ask regarding quad sets-- do you know if one should lock the knee when doing a quad set or leg raises or foam rolling or not? Should I seek to relax the quads during foam rolling?
xtweeter1224 11 months ago
@xtweeter1224 ok From the end back to the beginning: Yes lock the knee during quad sets IF you have light or no resistance AND you have no crunching or pain. Same for leg raises. When foam rolling then yes relax your legs. Do not make your legs crunch when sitting in a chair and extending your legs, sorta like working a sore tooth... leave it alone. Sitting for long periods deconditions the muscles and often results in something not sitting correctly when you try to move. Roll every day 1wk.
jasoncscs 11 months ago
Still struggling with kneecap problems and sadly I haven't done any foam rolling long enough to really be sure if it's the IT band or not-- I'm going to do it for a week straight to see.. I can't figure anything out with it. Anyways, something I've noticed is that when I walk after I've been sitting for a while, my hip starts making a popping noise. I have been getting a weird feeling around my knee after my run for up to two days-- sometimes just a random "weird" senation...

ccmeaston 1 year ago
@ccmeaston most likely, yes it is too late. This technique addresses the tightness that occurs with relatively healthy knees that have a slight imbalance, or adhesions above the knee. It wont hurt to try it, however and you may experience some relief but if it has been 20 years then most likely not.
