Iliotibial Band (ITB) Stretch

Everest Therapeutics demonstrates proper stretch of your Iliotibial Band, otherwise known as the IT Band.

This video shows how to stretch your right IT band. You stand with your right leg positioned behind your left leg, keeping both legs straight. To engage the upper fibres of the right IT Band, lift your right arm up and lean slightly towards the left. You should be now feel a nice stretch down the whole lateral torso into the outside of the right leg.

Holding this stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds, to maximum of 90 seconds, will provide a nice lengthening and stretch release to the right IT Band.

@ACPM74

This guy speaks the truth, the it band is unstretchable, and foam rolling it is a waste of time. Check saveyourself dot ca for a full scientific explanation.

the ITB is unstretchable, this was proven by scientifically by cutting up the leg (of a dead person who gave his body to science) and trying to stretch it.

@b0llx I laughed and coffee came out my nose!

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?

@shonebargerbj your a douche bag. You are not a credible source in the least and you ran a marathon in 2:39... give yourself a pat on the back because nobody cares.

God... your more ignorant than those kids that say "Im in 8th grade and I ran a 3:59 1500. is that good?" :P Your dumb if you don't stretch.

i masturbate to you every day
