@wearecorridor sitting at a desk too long will be the death of us all, especially if you don't stretch out regularly (including while at work!). and it shortens everything, including the hamstrings, glutes, piriformis, causes lower back pain, shoulder pain, neck pain, compresses the disks in the back and may cause herniation, etc, etc.
brilliant! i've been doing a lot of squats and lunges, and my IT bands, especially my right one are really feeling it. i'm going to do this after my workouts. :-)
you would usually do this after a run but it could be done standalone as long as you ease into it (don't overstretch the muscles/tendons/ligaments when they are not warmed up).
Is this all right to after having a hip replacement, 4 yrs ago?

Thank you! Is this done before a run or after? Only when you have pain?
