Have you ever had a massage? If not, it definitely helps. I would stay away from the machine that gave you the pain. Stretching is so important, before and...
I cannot stress how important massage is with ITBS! The knots in my muscles got progressively worse (making my ITBS worse) but things have gotten a lot better...
THis is probably a dumb question but where do you get these foam rollers for massage?? angie Marnie <skygazer242@...> wrote: I cannot stress how...

You can get them from bodytrends.com. I've bought heart monitors from them and they're quite reliable. I use the ones at my YMCA. The round ones are the ones...
There are quite a few sites on the internet that have them but if you don't want to buy online, Healthy Back stores and some cycling stores carry them...as...

Hi everybody, I'm new to the group. Needed to chat with people who are experiencing problems with their ITB. Although I know that most common injuries to the...
Hey everyone, I'm in the need for some advice about ITBS. I am a 21 year old female runner who came down with ITB after a twenty mile run training for my...
I would do the Fredericson ITBS rehab program found in the Feb 2000 issue of the Physician and Sportmedicine journal(p53-). It will give you the best ...
Paul, I'm surprised you are so skeptical about leg length discrepancies. I have scoliosis, and my one leg (and one arm!) is definitely shorter than the...
Donna, My point is that many chiros "diagnose" leg length discrepancies on a large percentage of people and attribute a number of conditions to the alleged ...
Hey everyone, I also need help also! I am 22 female tennis player and runner and have had ITBS syndrome for 5 months. It started when I started going for long...
I'd try to get your doctor to order an MRI, it may be something more serious, e.g, lateral miniscous tear (which can mimic itb), if it is swelling, typically...
Hi all! I'm a new member to this group and just have some simple questions. I am a cyclist for UNM lobos, and also do a little running for cancer/fund...
Hi Jeremy, Usually for me it's six weeks and physical therapy. Hope that helps! Gina ... __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? ...
First of all, how much is a "little running for cancer/fund raising races?" I ask this because 10k is a lot to do off the couch. No matter how strong your...
Jeremy- If you're still walking with your leg straight to avoid pain, I would suggest you take some time off your training. Completely. How long depends on...
I had an ITB release March 2nd. I have an incredible amount of scar tissue (at least I'm told at Massage Therapy). This seems to be hindering my running....
I had surgery in Oct 04' and I still have scar tissue... I would say the best improvements were actually AFTER starting to run again... which was not until 7...
Your physical therapist should. Mine showed me a neat technique. Take a pencil with a new eraser, put some lotion on your ITB area where it's scarred, bend...
sorry, this doesn't answer your question, but asks another. here's hoping someone can help me: i've been sidelined for over 2 years now. frustrating more than...
Jack, I totally feel your frustration and disappointment! The month I healed one leg, the other one got it. This ITBS stuff sucks! I can only tell you how I...
thanks, gina. are you now cured of itbs??? sounds like you put alot of time and effort into your recovery. i've been gung-ho about it for many consecutive...
Hi, thought I'd add my two cents: About cortizone shot...my close friend (triathlete) has gotten a one for ITBS and one for a broken sesmoid bone in her foot....
jack, thought i'd add my two cents about cortisone shots as well. i was in the same boat as you - i didn't want to get a cortisone shot because i only thought...
due to lack of funds, i haven't seen a massage theripist as regularly as i should, but yes, they've massaged the entire backside of the leg, hamstring, calf on...
Does a "jumper's knee strap" that "helps relieve pain from jumper's knee, patellar tendinitis, and osgood - schlatter disease" work for itbs as well? Thank...
Hi everyone, I think I'm finally at the end of my 9 week battle with ITBS. I found a PT who works with runners and he's really helped my recovery. I'm up to...
Jen, after my second marathon, while training for my third, the ITBS, which had before then been manageable, became as bad as you described. In the end,...
