IT Band Foam Roll
IT Band Foam Roll provides stability and movement in the knee and protects and strengthens the lateral thigh. It is also helpful for hip rotation, extension, and sideways movements.
Instructions
- Take a foam roller and lie on the floor on your side. Set the foam roller on the outside of your lower leg so that your weight is on the foam roller and your arms. Stretch your arms out in front of you, supporting your torso. This is your starting position.
- Push your body back and forth so that the foam roller rolls up and down the outside of your thigh. Return to starting position.
Tips
- Avoid excessive pressure at first. Start with light pressure and build up over the course of the set.
- Avoid scrolling too fast. Start at a slow pace, moving through the muscles in a controlled manner.
