Stop Foam Rolling the IT Band

In this episode I share my thoughts about the common practice of foam rolling the IT band, especially for the reason of it being "tight."

I compare the Marvel character Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy to the IT Band and what the anatomy shows in relation to how the IT band is supposed to be extremely stiff, but also has many sensory nerve endings throughout its length, which is why it can create so much discomfort and not communicate much other than a sensation that sometimes is recognized as tightness.

During this episode I mention:
