Stop Foam Rolling the IT Band

In this episode I share my thoughts about the common practice of foam rolling the IT band, especially for the reason of it being "tight." I compare the Marvel character Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy to the IT Band and what the anatomy shows in relation to how the IT band is supposed to be extremely stiff, but also has many sensory nerve endings throughout its length, which is why it can create so much discomfort and not communicate much other than a sensation that sometimes is recognized as tightness.During this episode I mention:Gil Headly and his YouTube video on the IT band: https://youtu.be/oXYKhqY8T9oLateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Glide: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdRnQ2YlgNU/Superior Gluteal Nerve Treatment: https://youtu.be/BF-n-ZnVGnoYoga Tune Up Therapy Balls and Self Massage techniques: https://www.tuneupfitness.com/?rfsn=3901938.c151c3The Missing Link in Orthopedic Rehab: 2-part virtual trainingLearn how ONE change to your assessment can get your clients better results, faster.📅 Sept 22nd + Sept 24th, 2026⏰ 12 pm – 1:30 pm PTONLY $97 FOR A LIMITED TIME (REG. $197)- ENROLL NOW=================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.
