I’m a cyclist, sometimes with significant lateral knee pain. I eventually gave this a go and it works a treat every time. Sore to do but absolutely effective and a really good explanation and presentation. Best out there.
Beautifully presented, and fully explained. I think this is the best ITB + roller video out there. And lucky me - this is the brand of roller I bought. Thank you.
This was an excellent explanation and hit my tight left leg perfectly. Adding the hip rotations, especially the "wringing out the towel" one (WOW!) is perfect for before and after a work day. Thank you so much!
Excellent explanation and demonstration! I watched a couple other videos and knew I had to be doing it wrong. Thanks for taking the time to break it down.
So, trigger point claims that the ridged areas of their foam roller acts like a massage therapists thumb, fingers, and palm. The million dollar question is, how does an inanimate object know which part of your body requires which part of the therapists hand? And how does it know it's on the right area of your body to be using that hand part?
Hi Kyle this is Arul from India .i have been following ur videos its really help full thanks a lot . Btw I have one question my mother in law has varicose vein in the leg . Can I suggest to do form rolling ? Is it good or bad ?
You have a few things right and many things wrong. You should not treat your IT band because its supposed to be tight, and yes it is an actual band. Its a band so strong that if you attached one side to the bumper of a car and the other side to the bumper of another car, and those two cars drive in the opposite direction, it would rip off the bumpers. The IT band is supposed to be tight. Look at the muscles that blend into the IT band and treat those if you want an affect. You nailed it with tensor fascia lata, but you missed glute medius, not Maximus. Glute medius and tensor fascia lata blend into the IT band. You can treat TFL, glute medius, vastus lateralus (above and below the IT band), and also biceps femoris. Trigger point therapy was the first certification that I took as a trainer at Equinox and it changed things dramatically for my clients and I. What you are teaching now isn't the best way to teach how to address trigger points.
I dont believe any of it, ive had some IT band problems on and off for years, but never knee pain! I had a lower back operation 20 years ago, and everything i watch read about IT band "NOTHING" works!!!!! Stretch and roll the TFL you all tell me, well if I can find exactly which muscle it is would be good. All these little muscles are so close together, and on all you people's videos we can never really see what you are doing, or the exact spot you are rolling on! Well ive been doing these exercises for a few weeks now, and all I can say is, I have a massive problem now!!! The burning pain down my leg is 100 times worse, I even have knee pain, which is new!!?? It would seem my cycling life is over, nothing Nothing works, it's just getting worse!!!!!!!!!!!???????????

Wow thanks. Did this for a week straight and you solved my it band problem. Physical therapy couldn’t even do this 🤦🏽♂️
Thanks so much. Found this today as I felt like my IT band was pulling down into my knee and it has freed it up a lot.
Does this guy say “uh” or “um” one time??? Very well done.

It hurts so much but the video was super useful! Thanks for great video.
Are you related to Bruce?
Best explanation I've heard on the IT Band. Very helpful, clear and well done. I'm saving this one!

Wonderful explanation and Technique one showing how to perform the maneuver.
I love this video! So educational, thorough and informative! I am a massage therapist and absolutely enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing 💖
Thanks to you I’ve finally unlocked my left hip. Thank you 🙏
Carl W how long did it take? And how did you know?
@Jack Newton - It feels out of line. Flatten the trigger point and you just know and feel it
Excellent explanation and demonstration! I watched a couple other videos and knew I had to be doing it wrong. Thanks for taking the time to break it down.
Most informative video I have seen yet. Thank you so much.
Thanks Kyle! That was a great explanation, and clear instructions on what to do!
This is the best explanation I have, thanks. How long should I roll for?
Brilliant...thank you Kyle!
Thanks for the advise. I've had the issue for 5 months. I needs to go away.
How often can i do this please. Finaly something that works, thank you.
Thanks for making this video. I usually trigger my IT band running a casual 5k instead of an intense tennis match. Why's that?
I’ve had to order a softer foam roller as my it band is so tight to the touch with the firm one
Will prolonged sitting cause it too?
Thank you👌🏽
Great video!
Thank you!!!
This is what I need

It would help not to wear black clothes so we could see it easier.

Form is hard to get...
