This week's stretch is... Standing IT Stretch!
The IT band (iliotibial band) runs along the outside of your thigh from your hip to your knee. When the muscles around it become tight, you may notice a pulling sensation, stiffness, or discomfort along the outside of the hip, thigh, or knee.
This stretch can be especially beneficial for:
🏃 Runners and cyclists
🏋️ Active individuals and athletes
💼 People who sit for long periods throughout the day
🚶 Anyone experiencing tightness on the outside of the hip or knee
👇 What area of your body feels the tightest right now? Let us know in the comments, and we may feature a stretch for it in a future post!
⚠️ If you're dealing with persistent hip or knee pain, it may be a sign that more than just stretching is needed. Our team can help identify the root cause and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
