ILIOTIBIAL BAND STRETCHING
(IT BAND STRETCHING)

This stretch is good for every body and especially for those experiencing Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) or IT Band Friction Syndrome.

To stretch, hold your leg in position with the Hamstretch using your opposite hand. Then roll your leg across your body and let gravity pull it down. Repeat this with the other leg. This will stretch your IT Band, including the hip abductors and gluteus muscles.
 

People who are prone to hypermobility or who have a ligament deficiency should consult with a Physical Therapist before using Hamstretch. Misuse of the Hamstretch can cause injury to the knee. Stretching should be pain free. Slowly stretch, stop and hold the stretch at a point before pain occurs.
