    BEST Stretches for IT Band (Iliotibial band) Pain



    ⬆️ Did you know this???? ⬆️ Sometimes when things hurt (like your IT Band), your first instinct is to just stretch it or foam roll it like crazy. (Guilty?🙋‍♀️)

    But you have to be careful, because some areas on your body won’t get better with stretching – in fact, they’re not meant to be LONG and STRETCHY. 😏

    This is the case with your IT Band.

    So, if you get knee pain on the outside of your knee and suspect it’s your IT Band, the best thing to stretch is your hip flexors and hamstrings. Who know, right?

    It’s because when your hip flexors and hamstrings are tight, your IT Band has to work overtime – leading to inflammation and pain.

    ❌ SO STOP STRETCHING THAT IT BAND! ❌

    Your formula for a happy IT Band and knees:

    ✔️ Flexible hip flexors and hamstrings

    ✔️ Extra strong glutes and side-glutes

    ✔️ Strong feet and good foot support so your arches don’t collapse

    Ok, now tell me… has your knee/IT Band been hurting you? Did you know this???

      That's awesome as you can't go wrong with taking a moment to stretch hamstrings and help open up the hips anyway! Thanks for the advice, worked great for me (and I normally get a good stretch session in daily so it was kinda surprising this was the solution)

      video after video I've seen bad information (including foam rolling )that hasn't worked for me. after the first few stretches you showed i can already feel relief. going to continue until asymptomatic. thank you

      Thank you so much that makes sense now I understand why massage Therapist with maybe a little hesitant while he was in that area. I was thinking he was getting a little bit too close for comfort but now I can do it myself thank you for this.

      These videos 😮 I can barely stand up let alone get on or up from the floor. Can someone assume you are older, alone, in pain, not that fit…..now give me something practical for a non-athlete.

      after 2 days of limping around I finally found this video and immediately did the stretches (and yes i tried foam rolling first). 100% works and provided IMMEDIATE relief. Thank you so much. the band no longer aches and neither does my knee.

      Broke my ankle, but had to wear boot 24/7. Because of weather and no openings, had it on 5 weeks and it really affected my ITBand.

      Went to chiropractor who had me get on table, face down, and had my legs go up and down 40 minutes, and pain gone. So my focus best at hip. Those PT offered were so painful, backed off.

      Will try these.
