Iliotibial IT Band Stretch


Stand in a doorway with your left leg crossed in front of your right leg.
With your right arm extending overhead, reach for the left side of the door frame.
Put your left hand on your hip. Continue to stretch so you feel a complete stretch on the outer torso, hip, upper thigh and knee of your right leg. Hold 20 to 30 seconds and change sides.
For a deeper stretch, keep your feet farther apart, bend the knee of your forward foot and keep the back knee straight.
Push slightly on your left hip to move your hips to the right; you will feel a slight stretch along the right side of your torso.
