Pam, a foam roller is a thing made of styrofoam. In order to see a picture, just google pictures "foam roller" or look at this, e.g. ...
I recommend getting a very hard one (there is a lot of variation). If it's not marketed as dense or hard then it will probably develop ruts and be less useful...
Hey Folks, I’ve had ITBFS for 4 years now. The foam roller works, but it deflates over time. I use these small inflatable fit balls. They’re awesome....
The foam roller I have been using for several months is: http://www.power-systems.com/p-2972-premium-eva-foam-roller.aspx It's pretty hard, doesn't compress...
Dave, do you roll on the ball like on the foam roller? What size and material is the ball? I will try to find it here in Germany, as they don't have foam...
Nora, I bought the Fit Ball USA Small Ball package. My package came from a sports medical clinic in Vancouver, Canada. You might find this on ebay, not sure....
Dear David, thank you so much for this information. I will save your mail and look where I can find these balls. Maybe at Ebay or my American friend can order...
Hello, I am new to this group and looking for any and all tips on how best to heal, strengthen, and otherwise continue to run with itbs. I have been sidelined...
Donna, stop running until you have absolutely zero pain. I know this probably doesn't even seem like an option to you, but take it from someone who hasn't...
Thanks for the advice. Prior to surgery did you go to a physical therapist? and did that help? I will be seeing one next week and want to know what to look out...
Before surgery I of course tried pretty much everything: seeing a PT, cortisone shot, autologous blood injection, the strap you mentioned, ultrasound,...
The good news is there are people who continue to run with ITBS. It doesn't go away, but they manage it. My chiro is able to do that while tolerating mild...
I could be wrong, but ITBS may start in the hip. Let's say your sacroiliac joints are misaligned. This could cause the hip muscles to contract, and the...
I couldn't agree more with you Ann. Ever since I had a minor hip labral tear arthroscopically repaired 2 1/2 years ago, not only has my hip never been the...
I hate it when athletes are taken out of the game, so to speak, by something as simple as a tight muscle. What I do to stretch my hip muscles when they start...
Thanks Ann. I have to be careful with the twisting and stretching right now, as I had an L6-S1 fusion (my extra transitional vertebra) on July 2nd, along with...
My God! Like a roller coaster in Hell! How horrible! You are lucky to be alive. Apparently you were meant to be a shark (all cartilage, no bones) & someone...
Just got home from a lung cancer charity event my husband emceed and I worked at, in honor of a dear friend of ours who has stage 4 lung cancer, and never...
Wow! How lucky can you get? What a great boss! I'd forgotten -- they're not doing thoracic disc replacement yet. They usually go in from the front, and of...
Greetings, Today is the 4th year anniversary of my ITBS problem, which started 4 years ago, after I run my first marathon in 2004. I am happy to report that I...

... Well, I am sure there are a lot of positive stories around, but maybe when people in this discussion list get rid of ITBS, they just leave the group... I...
Thank you! I am grateful for these insights and feel more hopeful. I am not a runner but a cyclist. I don't know yet how my story will end, but my ITBS...

ITBS is such a lifestyle changer, you'd think they'd warn you in grade school not to suddenly increase your distance or resistance, whatever you do. It's like...
