i did this once and i feel 100 times better already i have been going to doctors for 2 years now explaining these symptoms and they did not have a fix or understanding of what i was telling them i am not a runner but i have 4 kids who i cook for and standing on my legs all day does not help it really did put me in it hell thank you for the video and all of your help

[SimpleHumman]

Can't thank you enough! Between your book and these videos my running has become a pleasure again, and have been shaving times down like crazy! Thanks Kelly!

[NeMzoNer]

This is literally the sole reason that I haven't been able to train for the past 3 months almost. Thank you, Kelly!!

[andygroat]

Huge help. I drive for a living and pissed off the TLM that you described.... working the problem up stream and down stream is a great way to attack the impingement.

[itusedtobefunny]

Thank you a million times over for all of the videos! As a crossfitter and an aerial acrobat, I find a lot of mobility restrictions from one discipline to the other. Your videos have really helped me to work out my mobility issues and make me a lot more comfortable all the time!

I only have a lacrosse ball, but it worked like a charm. I had success years ago with a golf ball on my plantar fascia. I guess I need that focused pressure. If you think you might, I recommend trying it. It really, really helped.

I have the jagged blue ROGUE ball that I have been using for 10+ years now. The pancake exercise, although painful, is providing some relief. I will continue doing this for one month. Thank you sir! I also have his Supple Leopard book; it has been helping me since I can't remember when. :|

[melodyhaselden]

Thanks so much this has been a problem for so long.

[democratusnostradas]

Lol Mr T qoute at the beginning!
Beauty video, Respect from Canada!

[eposyba]

Thanks for this I have already felt positive results from your exercises !

I had 8 weeks out with knee pain caused by It problems. I'm just starting running again after lots of stretching and strengthen work.
Mechanically I know I need work, as videos of my running shows my knees collapsing and my feels doing strange things.
If i want to do more to sort of my running (above what's already mentioned), where do I start?

[robertoryan]

Love it! You're awesome man. I like how your down to earth.

[julieanngroth]

Perfect explanation! Will incorporate this now to "cure" my leg syndrome. :)

[PeteYova]

Kelly thank you for this... Those streaches feel amazing and now feel that I'm targeting the tfl... Think you could tell me what I could to speed up my recovery? My IT band flicks over the side of my knee everytime I bend my left leg and returns to its original position after straighten the leg. Have you encounter anything like this before

[leepiano]

This is what I needed! Did a WOD last week with running and heavy squats. I've been doing these and it's feeling better. Awesome vid!

[partimemn]

awsome vids. ive had a MCL injury and i get it to what feels like full strenth and i reinjure it. any advice or videos on a mcl injury?

[stephaniebuzzella]

My it band pain is right in that spot you're pointing to at 2:54. I started running about 5/6 weeks ago. I'm going to see a chiro this week and I have an appointment with a podiatrist in August (soonest apt I could get ) I'm hoping someone can help without telling me to stop running.

[spuink]

How about shin splints, do you have any stretches for treating or preventing it?

Thanks in advance

[livefast]

GSP has a medial-facing angle on his knee, almost like a Q angle with women, but it's not the thigh that angles in, rather the Tibial section of the leg that angles laterally at the knee. Could this be a cause of his ACL injury?

[TySpoonz]

The fact that you have a power rack behind you makes me take you twice as seriously as most people talking about this.
