Two question: Look pedal float and pedaling out of the saddle

I just came across this stretch which shows the modification I like to add to the kneeling hip flexor stretch I posted above. It gets your torso involved which helps to address the psoas since it attaches to the vertebae of the lumbar spine.

That variation really helped the stretch. Thanks!

That's pretty much the same as the one my PT has me doing, except I do it standing with a foot on a step stool or bench.

I've read and heard so much about knee injuries in Pigeon pose - although [touch wood] it doesn't seem to stress my knees, what are your thoughts on that?

You definitely have been given some great advice/suggestions here. Another source of ITB on the bike is that quite often the hip opposite the issue drops forward on the bike.

At any rate, I'm glad that others were able to give you some suggestions....and especially the stretching from Wahine!!


Good luck with everything!
