 old fat fingers needs to find 10kg Member 192, 640 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 245735.0 kgs @ 122.7kgs Eq | Doc_D said:NB: massage of the IT band, glut. med. and TFL is NOT fun. I can honestly say that having a physio stick his elbow into my IT band for a few minutes was one of the most painful experiences of my life. Don't laugh or doubt until you've tried it... I can corroborate this! I had to roll on a tennis ball to massage my IT band and it was excruciating! By comparison, using a foam roller is quite a relief (even though it is painful too)! | ||

Hey Doc would it be advisable with my back problem to release the IT band with a tennis ball around the hips? and will this help in the locking out of my back. can you sugest mobility drill for IT band and hip rehab? | ||

Back problems have many, many causes. Most of my own problems stem from sedentary profession - setting up a standing desk has therefore been of great benefit for me. The point of this seemingly irrelevant comment is that changes in everyday behaviour might be more effective than any direct treatment (in the same way that people with shoulder problems should look not jsut at training, but at keyboard/mouse usage). This said, I have found for me a direct correlation between gluteus medius issues and back pain. If tissue quality is a problem, rolling on a ball will definitely help. Activation might also be a consideration, as dysfunctional glutes will often translate into disadvantageous lower back positions in the deadlift. There are a gazillion articles on this broad topic. This one has the extra advantage of an opening image that MattGriff might purloin: http://stronglifts.com/how-to-optimize-posterior-chain-power-g... | ||

Having had a torn ham and a problematic IT band treated by the same elbow, I'd say that the latter was for me more painful by an order of 10. Imagine the pain of an accidental 'dead leg' caused by a knee in rugby - but then focus this to the area of an elbow, and increase the duration by 120 seconds... Fun fun fun! | ||
