| gail: | If you have access to a foam roller, it can help. Roll along the IT band with your body weight. Can be painful, but a nice self massage. |

| walk: | Try to take care of the IT. I had aches on my right one for only about 20 years. I now always include IT stretches to my warmup - cross feet and touch back ankle. Helps. There are probably others but have used that for a while. |

| ebone: | The crossed leg stretch seems to work well. I've never had IT band soreness that lasted more than a couple days, but that stretch has seemed to work really well when I did. |

| szurcher: | I get this on and off all the time, with stretching and massage it always goes away. I do have to say though, that having both ends inflamed is a new experience, usually I only feel it at either the knee or the hip. Today (Wed) it already feels a lot better, I am certain it won't be a problem long. I just have to take care of it. Gail, laying on a tennis ball in the same fashion is also really good, hurts like hell, but good. |
