Episode 1096 - Do you have pain in your knee or outside of your hip? Sometimes tension in your IT band can really send some shockwaves through your lower limbs. I remember when foam rollers first came out and it was recommended to utilize them on your IT band. For years I foam rolled my IT band, but I also foam rolled all the connective tissue around it. Overtime, I found more success targeting the quads and glutes for any outside knee pain than I ever received from the excruciating pain rolling my IT band. Give it a try! Look for balls of tension within the outside of your quad if your knee is bothering you.
