IT Band?

[Catrin]

I will pick up a tennis ball or two, they can't be expensive. Massage just won't fit into my budget for a time, but it does make sense. There is also a new device for myofacial release...one of the trainers at my gym showed it to me the other day. It has some odd tool-like name.

It is a square stick with 4 balls of different sizes, 2 on either side of both ends. The balls can come off to be used by themselves or you can leave them on to roll up your spine; it is quite the multi-purpose tool. Very interesting and I wish I could remember the name of it. The trainer will send me a link to a site where it can be purchased with a discount that she can provide me. I suspect I can't afford it either but that will eventually change.

Part of my problem is that I never get sore like the average person. For some reason, even after the hardest of workouts, I am never sore the next day (unless it is a deadlift that I've not done for some time). This makes it easier for me to over-do things without realizing it.
