IT Band ideas

[Catrin]

What stretches are you doing?

I don't know the names so I will describe them:

IT Band: Foam Rolling
IT Band: Lying flat on the ground, extend one arm straight out on the ground perpendicular to the body. Bend the leg on that side and with the opposite hand draw the knee up and across the body which gives a nice IT Band stretch.

Hip: Standing - cross one foot in front of the other and lean forward while pushing the hip out that is opposite of the foot that crossed in front of the other

Hip/Hamstring: (I think): Tailor stretch (either standing or lying on the ground)
Hamstring: usual straight leg stretch with the leg elevated

Quad: Standing on one foot and drawing/pulling one foot back to my glute while keeping the leg/knee vertical.

It didn't help that I went a few days without my prescription anti-inflammatory which is probably part of this as well - I am back on it. I was doing SO well that I thought I could go without it. Meh.
