IT Band Stretch
• Lay down on your left side
• Bend your right knee by pulling your foot up with your hand to your buttock
o You should start feeling tension building up in your quads
• Bend your left knee and put your foot on top of your right knee
• Push down gently towards the ground with your left foot
• Hold for 30-60 seconds and repeat on the other side
Applying heat after the stretch increases blood circulation to the muscle and decreases tension in the fascia.
