In the above video, Dr. Shervin Ranjbar and Amrita Gill from Backs in Action in East Vancouver BC demonstrate how to use a foam roller on the Ilio-Tibial Band (or IT Band).
Remember, if you have a lot of pain in an area, avoid rolling over it. Move an inch above and below and decrease tension in the muscle without further aggravating an already inflamed area.
