Iliotibial band
Rolling and stretching the iliotibial band is essential for the proper functioning of the hip joint. If it becomes too “strong”, it can cause a number of posture defects and consequent pain (first of all, it is responsible for the “fall” and rotation of the knee outwards).
It belongs to the *lateral muscle chain, so it is worth dealing with all the muscles of the chain, rolling, stretching.
Roll and stretch both sides of the iliotibial band.
The presented image and video material can be done for everyone, but in case of any injury, a consultation/survey is recommended for individualized training.
