  • Thanks Andre Agassi!

  • @signlangcmb I have knee pain caused by the tight IT Band. Pain started week and a half ago. Went to a free injury clinic offered at local running (shoe) store. Physical Therapist there said pain due to IT band and recommended the foam roller and various stretches (like in this video.) But didn't give me any idea of how soon I might expect results. I'm a runner and simply devistated. Have a race I'm registered for in a month. Don't want to drop out!!

  • Good stuff. Thanx man.

  • Good tips and video. I just wanted to comment that the TFL (Tensor Fasciae Latae) is on the anterior side of the body so rolling the glutes on the posterior side does not directly help with the TFL. I just wanted to clear that up incase that caused confusion for anyone.

  • Thank you

  • does this help agaisnst back and upper ass pain?

  • I'm not a runner. I think what screwed up my T band was a combination of uphill bike riding and working in high heels.

  • Think your exercises are spot on, except the piriformis stretch, that is more of a gluteus stretch, Piriformis: one would lie down on ones back bend the R leg up in a bent 90 degree angle, then draw the right knee towards the left shoulder, trying to maintain a turn out on the right leg. Your left leg is straight :)

  • Great vid, thanks. Anyone ever got sore stomach muscles or acid reflux from having a very tight IT band affecting this area too? Just wondering. Ta.

  • thanks for this.
