IT Band pain

[kelownagirl]

Thanks Tiger and EBD! Great stretches link - I'm going to try them - and good suggestion about the balls. I have used tennis balls for upperback pain before too.

Here's how I made a home made roller today after I checked out about 6 different stores and couldn't find one to buy (and lots of blank looks when I tried to explain what it was.).

I was at the hardware store and bought a tube of foam pipe covering that's about 2-3 inches across, cut it to about 12 inches long, and stuffed the centre hole with some fabric (a tea towel actually) to give it more stability. Cost me under a dollar and works great!

Here's a pic except the tube I bought was for a bigger pipe so the inside hole was about 2" across.
