Standing Iliotibial Band Stretch

Professional Rationale
A baseline ITB stretch. The ITB is hard to stretch due to it's length an connective tissue nature, therefore the effectiveness of this stretch can be increased when combined with the foam roller exercise.

Client Rationale
This is a stretch to help stretch your iliotibial band, which is a band of connective tissue that runs along the outside of your thigh. It helps to stabilize your hip in standing activities and transitional motions.



Instructions

• Cross one leg behind the other.
• Tip your trunk away from that leg.
• You should feel the stretch along the outside of the thigh and hip.
• Don't let your foot slide on the floor.
