Why is it that when we feel pain or discomfort in the outside part of our hip or knee. Our first thought is that it must be our IT band, and that rolling them will help? Yoga and functional training are great additions to using rollers and balls.
There are two main culprits responsible for IT band pain and inflammation. The first issue is over-training. Since we hold the attitude that “more is better,” we often exceed our weekly mileage goals in an effort to boost our stamina, speed, and general physical well-being. The pain in the hips or knees is the outcome. Recommendat.com provides brief notes on types of yoga and how to do it on a regular basis. A lack of flexibility in the muscles around the band is the second reason. The band is being pulled too tightly, which causes pain.
But how can we put a stop to it and protect ourselves from future suffering?
