The best IT stretch I can think of is the one where you get a belt or yoga strap and loop it around your foot. Lay on your back, leg up in the air, don't 'lock' your knee but pretty close to lock- then cross your leg over to the other side while flexing your foot. IE Left leg to the right side while keeping it at a 90 deg angle. You should feel that stretch. Also stretch your hamstrings the same way but closing down on the 90 deg between your leg and your body (towards your body) and hold it for 30 seconds or more. Same with the IT stretch. Holding it longer than 30 seconds will tell the Golgi tendon organ to tell the muscle spindles in the muscle to rellllaxxxxxxxxxxx...

Which reminds me, I have to start stretching a little more often...
Flex the foot in which direction? Pointy toe or bringing the toe closer to the knee?
