Thank you for the question. There is no way to “improve the iliotibial band”, because it is a structure that does not exist, on you, right now. We hope that makes sense🙏 We are trying to educate people that if anyone tells them it’s their RT band that has no validity. They need to look at the symptoms and look at the bigger picture and look at what’s going on at the feet of the knees and the pelvis.
The IT band is the largest piece of fascia in the body. How do you improve it. First off never foam roll it. 😂 Balancing on one leg for as long as possible. Qigong exercises that have you bouncing on your front ball of your foot. Having a fascia therapist work on the muscles of the quads, glutes and hamstrings and how they are able to spontaneously function into pullers, holding steady or releasing. She's just trying to say leave the IT band alone because messing with it is not going to do anything for any thing. Most likely the problem that is going on is with muscle (s) that surrounds the hip joint.
We are definitely in agreement re please leave it alone! lol We would argue that not just muscles would be the cause of the issues. They would simply be a part of the assessment.
Okay, I understand, but what can you do to improve it? I don't really get that much out of your videos . 😕
