  • Myths and Controversies- The Iliotibial Band!
    2025/07/22
    Rolling out the iliotibial or IT band has more conflicting advice than almost any other single topic in fitness. To roll, or not to roll, how often to roll, soft roller or firm roller, is it useless or damaging? All of these questions and concerns come up when the topic of rolling out the IT band is mentioned. In this episode we discuss what the IT band is, how it works, what rolling may (or may not) be doing and some straightforward ideas about when, how and if you should do it. As far as getting together, I am available Friday and Saturday afternoon and can meet you at the convention center with recording equipment quite easily. I know you may have additional responsibilities or meetings beyond your booth time so just let me know when you are available.
