STOP Foam Rolling Your IT Band The WRONG Way! Do THIS Instead!

Your IT band is a TENDON and therefore by its very nature it CANNOT be "stretched out" or "loosened up"! The CORRECT way to do it is to foam roll and stretch all the MUSCLES that act on the IT band for maximum pain and tension relief. I'll talk about it in this short; see more details in the linked full-length video.

You can absolutely stretch a tendon to increase its elasticity. Example, runners stretch their achieles tendon all the time before races.

The IT band is not a tendon. It's a band of fascia.

Wish you would have done it a little slower explaining the moves correctly as I don’t want an injury
