Found your video today. I have had chronic IT band pain for years. I’m a hiker and push myself to climb mountains and complete multi-day backpacking trips. I walked/jogged 30 miles yesterday in preparation for a 40 mile day trip around Mount Hood in a month. I deal with the pain on the trail instead of not going. It gets pretty painful and sucks the enjoyment out of the event. I’m going to do your foam rolling, stretch and strengthen exercise religiously for the next month. I’ll report back whether they helped.
I have had pain in all of the areas you described for years. I had quite a few Cortisone Shots over the years to get some relief. The Orthopedic doctor gave me the option of surgery over shots, which I elected to do. They split the IT Band open and made an X at the top. They said the IT Band was extremely tight. I've done some exercises to try to help, but a friend recommended the roller. I am so glad I watched your video which explained all of the areas of my pain in detail with illustrations. I am anxious to get started! We just returned from a 14 day trip to Europe, and I had to sit a lot of it out because of pain. If only I had found this before. Thank you so very much! (Sorry for the dissertation.) 😄
Excellent, that sorted my ITB in about five minutes - the relief was palpable! Highly recommend 'TONE & TIGHTEN' to anyone with genuine ITB issues. The treatment and advice from a physio that I visited last year was that the foam rolling to be direct to the ITB - bit of a worry that some physios are in practice at all! I am now running pain free - thanks again.
@@toneandtighten Hey no problem! Credit where credit is due I say. I do have a quick question for you or you maybe you can direct me to some advice. About eight years ago I snapped my achilles tendon (complete rupture left leg) playing squash. I didnt have an operation as the advice at the time was to let it heal in the conservative way, back slab cast for four weeks then an orthopeadic boot with the heel gradually being lowered over a period of about six months. After that I received about three months worth of physio at a lower limb clinic, on the great british NHS! Made a full recovery and now am running regularly and have been over the last three years, 10K and HM are my distances with an occassional 5K. Now my left calf is about 5% more flexible, as in the level of stretch it has compared to my right, it doesn't cause me any pain , and the muscle mass is also slightly less - to be expected I hear you say. But I think it has altered the mechanics of my running form as I tend to get some odd aches and pains that appear in strange places, plus there is a constannt snapping sound in my left ankle when I run. Can you advise in any way? Further info : I do Pilates for runners once or twice a week, am a non smoker and tea total, good diet etc, and a grand age of 54 but just wanting to improve running to a better level. 5 out of six training runs at 75% MHR. 10K pb of 49.20. Any addtional advice greatly pproeciated ! :)
I got diagnosed with plica syndrome recently after dealing with pain for almost 3 years. I just did that routine once now but I feel like the biceps femoris roll helped me a lot immediately. I'm pain free right now so I'll be definitely including this into my mobility routine.
I had tried to roll my IT band before viewing this Tone and Tighten video, and I simply aggravated the condition. This instruction brought immediate and ongoing relief and improvement. I'm very, very pleased and grateful!
Just started having IT band pain after about a year of running. I am working on fixing my form and cross training to strengthen my legs, but this video is already helping with the pain! Thank you for sharing this content!
GREATEST VIDEO EVER!! I’ve been dealing with pain for 8 weeks and it’s been insane to walk or do activities, haven’t worked and been on bed rest. I’ve done the normal ice or stretching but it didn’t help. Finally saw your video and found a foam roller and wow! After I did the foam roller, I was able to walk with no pain for about 30 seconds till it started coming back. Absolutely needed this video and will continue to do this to get better
Thanks for the exact answer to my issues. I am 75 active and have been experiencing the knee pain you described. After the first few rolling exercises I am feeling relief.
Just watched this last night and followed along! Thank you so much! I’ve been struggling with knee pain for the past 7 months did these exercises last night after learning from my Chiropractor that it was probably my IT band and the pics in this video showed exactly where I have pain! I did some of these exercises last night and woke up to a less stiff knee and a little less knee pain. Thank you!!!!!! Going to watch the it band stretch video next!
Thanks Tone and Tighten, first video I have seen from you guys and it was so helpful and the perfect amount of detail. I am a long time trail runner and have struggled with IT issues for years, this is definitely the best demo I have seen for foam rolling and general explanation of the problem. Thanks again!
Broke both feet, separately, this summer. Crutches, canes, walkers. Now I’m walking like I’m 90. The roller exercises are making me cry but I know I’ve got to do it. Thanks for excellent tips and videos!
Thanks for your videos. I'm fighting Knee pain on both sides. It's not really pain on the side as you showed is typically associated with the IT band. It's more a pain that is under the cap and slightly to the inside. I had surgery on both knees this winter to fix meniscus tears that the surgeon believed would help with this pain. Unfortunately I haven't gotten much benefit. So it appears the meniscus issues have been fixed but my pain was emanating from somewhere else and I'm still dealing with that pain. I did have a PA at the surgeons office evaluate me again and he didn't believe there were any issues with the surgeries but did say I was dealing with tightness in the IT bands and I should foam roll and strengthen those areas. I've reviewed this video on foam rolling and your IT band exercise video and am trying to get started. The main issue I have is that both my knees hurt quite a bit and I'm finding it painful & difficult to bend my knees into the shown positions to do the rolls & exercises that you show. Should I just do things through the pain or can you recommend some starting rolls & exercises that I should begin with to allow some stretching to occur and hopefully calm down the knee pain so I can work into what you're showing? I want to help to get this resolved but need some guidance. Appreciate any comments you might have. Thanks.
Great info thank you!! Understanding how holding the painful spots and how they feel better immediately is gold..... Foam rolling is one of the major suggestions I give to my clients and I keep wanting to make a video to show them how. So many people just dont know. Much Love ❤
Awesome Lynette! The first step to treating anything is identifying exactly what it is. I hope this helps you and you can start to see some improvement by strengthening your hip!
Did these tips help you? Did you know these techniques before? Let me know in a comment, and be sure to check out this entire routine that you can do at home to alleviate IT band knee pain: ua-cam.com/video/UPCIvo7vvv4/v-deo.html Hope it helps! 🙏🏼
No - they did the opposite and my doctors also said it's terrible to do what you are suggesting in the video. I highly suggest you consider not using foam rollers or this guy's advice.
I have had two knee replacements, so not able to use the stretch you showed. Do you have modifications for people that do not have full range of their knees?
Man thanks! I had some pain in my leg, self diagnosed, as you do, found your video. 1st roll oh man that's it, 2nd one no that's it and so on! This is going to help a lot. Thanks again
Thank you! I thought I was healed and stopped the frequency of these exercises and stretches. Within a few days, it all came back! I will keep your videos as a daily routine and pray this goes away soon.
Thank you. When you were rolling the quad, that looked and felt so good. I swear I could feel it. I have been having such a hard time getting that muscle to relax and loosen up. I can't wait to try this.
The one I ordered on Amazon along with my other equipment I use mainly for my it bands and back occasionally, it's for knee pain as well...the one I have with my massage table is for pregnant massage, I welcome anyone who isn't a sadist to see my exercise
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I needed. Would’ve been easier to follow if you weren’t wearing black pants against a black mat but I’m just grateful you made this 🙏
K at first I was like - too much info just get to the point, but this video was excellent, thank you for going in depth - if you didn’t give such great explanations and details there’s so much that would be missed. Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
thanks so much! my chiro said i should be rolling over the IT band and that was excruciating.. So I googled it and your video came up. Feels much more natural and the two times I have done this has helped with the pain I experience throughout my day. My job is very physical so I really need to be stretching before and after work, otherwise I really notice it. Thanks again.
Thanks so much for your kind comment, miguel! I've been blessed with an education about these things; the least I can do is bless the lives of others and hopefully help them to feel better.
5:25 ( just a note for myself so i can do my weekly workout, i'm not encouraging people to skip the informative talk before! Great video btw, thanks alot this is so useful for me. I have realised i was doing it wrong all this time( this proves i watched the full video haha!)
I'm so glad I can help, Vasyl! BTW - the time stamps to all the relevant parts of the video are included in my description as well. Hope these help you out!
My Dr. diagnosed my pain as “hip bursitis” treating with cortisone shots. Didn’t help. Masseuse said it was my IT band most of my pain is in the front of my leg...like a red hot knife slicing me from top to bottom. I will try these exercises to try and find relief! Thank you!!
Very helpful for my diagnostic. Trochanteric Bursitis o of the left hip, Iliotibial band Syndrome of the left side, and primary osteoarthritis of both knees. Just in case you have any recommendations for me
I have started having IT band pain due to rucking on the beach and climbing mountains. Bought a Grid Roller and have been studying all these muscles and movements. Thanks for a great video! 🔱🇺🇸💪🏼
Excellent video, very helpful and perfectly explained. I learned something new, all the time I was "stretching my IT band" I was in fact doing nothing of the sort!
Excellent explanation of the cause of the problem and the way to treat it yourself. I have leant a lot from this video. I have actually diagnosed my IT band problem, i had been attributing the pain to arthritis in my knees so far. Love the tips u give us to use the props correctly, thank you.
Thank you for your explanations of the IT band. My chiropractor was very excited when I told him what you were explaining and how you show the foam rolling. Great Job!
Got some real pain in the outer knee doing box squats (ironically trying to be easier on the knees than with regular squats) and upon research ran upon this. Pain is GONE though there's some muscle soreness from apparently what was knotted. I was almost about to give up on squats because of this. I had no idea how much I needed a foam roller in my life. I also got a thera cane. THANK YOU!!
Thank you. Love the info, just enuf detail, not too much. Just purchased a foam roller.. Its helping. I assume yoga should help with stretching too. Looking for pain relief just below knee.. can you make suggestions?
62 year old hockey player here ....so when i work /roll a muscle , how long ? how often ? twice a day?.... Thanks for your time , great instructional videos.
Great videos! Question for you, should we be rolling and then do the stretching/strengthening activity (video) back to back. Start with rolling and then do the stretching/strengthening? Or the reverse? Or do them on different days? And how many days should we be doing it - everyday? Every other day? Etc. thank you!
love the video, but I've had a left knee total replacement and cannot bend my knee more than 90-100 degrees. I do have the IT band pain and hamstring pain. Is there any modifications that I can do to perform these exercises?
I’ve got snapping hip syndrome, pretty minor (just snapping) at the moment, I’ve no pain, but want to solve it before it worsen. I can feel my it band snapping over the greater trochanter. Would these exercise also help solve this problem?
They will help if you use a flak or "guppy" movement on the roller. And I'd be careful doing this. As in, don't do it too fast. I've actually seen someone dislocate their femoral head doing this.
Holy wow 💜💜 I do yoga almost daily and strength train, I started walking anywhere between 3-6 miles daily a few weeks back (I enjoy being outside) Two days ago I started having pretty severe pain in my right hip that went all along the outside of the leg, wrapped around my knee then down my shin about two inches My husband had to legit carry me up to bed yesterday (I took off from the gym) That being said I’m not a fan of sitting, so I slathered on some deep blue and went for a walk this morning (I did go slower though)...think the cold air helped as it felt a little looser but still tight. My girlfriend mentioned I check out a foam rolling video (I knew it was my IT band and not Sciatica from my familiarity with basic anatomy from yoga) Searched it up and found you This is an extremely winded and long comment to basically say THANK YOU 🙏 💗💗 not gonna lie, the glute was extremely painful rolling out and that little baby muscle in the front of the leg....I still am a little sore but this took away easily 75% (that’s saying a lot since I couldn’t even get up from sitting without cursing 😂) Big hugs and I’m going to find the stretching video now 💗💗 I appreciate you 🙏
I had a right knee replacement 8 months ago. 5:22 About 1 month into a great recovery I fell on the knee. After several x-rays my orthopedic guy found no damage but my IT band was very tight which significantly hindered my recovery and seems to keep getting gradually worse. Exercise, stretching and stairs are very painful. Does this sound like a tear to the IT band or should I attempt your exercises? I dont want to do more damage if it is a tear.
Love your IT band therapies. My question is in what order do I do all this? Do I roll stretch then strengthen all in same session. Or should I gradually work up to doing all of these Thank you
@@toneandtighten actually I was suffering from lateral knee pain since 03 years... X-Ray failed to diagnose issue.. I did MRI.. in my MRI report.. I first time came across term IT Band syndrome... Since then I hv been exploring for this, watching VDOs.. tried different exercises... but I found, tips u hv told are much helpful for me... Nd also the way u explain in detail is vry appreciable... Thank you again...
Nice, thanks! Can you please tell me which Foam Roll is the best since I noticed that you have told a couple of them and now, I am seeing you are showing Gaiam? Thanks
Wonderful tips, I’m using it on my back and it’s helpful to open tight muscles .Would like to know how to stretch and strengthen mid and upper back . Thank you 😊
could weak and inactive glutes be related to this? i have extremely under active glutes, over active hamstrings and really sore knees, trying to figure out how to get rid of my knee ache, how to properly engage the glutes and stop relying on hamstrings to do glute exercises. will try your foam rolling!
I started doing these exercises daily 9 months ago. Thank you, I can walk again and my chronic pain is gone.
You are welcome, Ryan P! I am glad you are recovering and thanks for sharing!

Thank you. Love the info, just enuf detail, not too much. Just purchased a foam roller.. Its helping. I assume yoga should help with stretching too. Looking for pain relief just below knee.. can you make suggestions?
Super good and durable. I bought it over a year ago
Great to hear!
Good video. Need to look past the pain point and focus. Very insightful
Thank you!
Excellent explanation and guidance for self-rehab. Thank you fir sharing!
You are welcome, Derek Hilton! I hope this helps you!
Thank you so much. Been hurting for probably about 6 years at least. 🥲
You are so welcome, Anita! I hope these help!
I’m a distance runner. Should I do the rolling, stretch, and strengthen exercises before I run or after? How many times a day should I roll? Thanks.
62 year old hockey player here ....so when i work /roll a muscle , how long ? how often ? twice a day?.... Thanks for your time , great instructional videos.
Once or twice a day is great!
Hi! Great video! What I have to do as first? Rolling, next strength exercise and last stretching?
Great videos! Question for you, should we be rolling and then do the stretching/strengthening activity (video) back to back. Start with rolling and then do the stretching/strengthening? Or the reverse? Or do them on different days? And how many days should we be doing it - everyday? Every other day? Etc. thank you!
I have always found with my clients that a tennis ball works better in the TFL and Glut medius area.
Brother outstanding video!! I appreciate your work!!!
Thanks for watching!
love the video, but I've had a left knee total replacement and cannot bend my knee more than 90-100 degrees. I do have the IT band pain and hamstring pain. Is there any modifications that I can do to perform these exercises?
Please give us tips on how to loosen our psoas as well. Thank you.
Rolling the IT band with the Rollga Roller is so much better because the IT Band drops in our contours
I’ve got snapping hip syndrome, pretty minor (just snapping) at the moment, I’ve no pain, but want to solve it before it worsen. I can feel my it band snapping over the greater trochanter. Would these exercise also help solve this problem?
They will help if you use a flak or "guppy" movement on the roller. And I'd be careful doing this. As in, don't do it too fast. I've actually seen someone dislocate their femoral head doing this.
Holy wow 💜💜
I do yoga almost daily and strength train, I started walking anywhere between 3-6 miles daily a few weeks back (I enjoy being outside)
Two days ago I started having pretty severe pain in my right hip that went all along the outside of the leg, wrapped around my knee then down my shin about two inches
My husband had to legit carry me up to bed yesterday (I took off from the gym)
That being said I’m not a fan of sitting, so I slathered on some deep blue and went for a walk this morning (I did go slower though)...think the cold air helped as it felt a little looser but still tight.
My girlfriend mentioned I check out a foam rolling video (I knew it was my IT band and not Sciatica from my familiarity with basic anatomy from yoga)
Searched it up and found you
This is an extremely winded and long comment to basically say THANK YOU 🙏 💗💗 not gonna lie, the glute was extremely painful rolling out and that little baby muscle in the front of the leg....I still am a little sore but this took away easily 75% (that’s saying a lot since I couldn’t even get up from sitting without cursing 😂)
Big hugs and I’m going to find the stretching video now 💗💗
I appreciate you 🙏
You are so welcome! I am glad you found this helpful and thanks for sharing!
Hi, do those exercises good for sciatica nerve?
thanks.
I had a right knee replacement 8 months ago. 5:22 About 1 month into a great recovery I fell on the knee. After several x-rays my orthopedic guy found no damage but my IT band was very tight which significantly hindered my recovery and seems to keep getting gradually worse. Exercise, stretching and stairs are very painful. Does this sound like a tear to the IT band or should I attempt your exercises? I dont want to do more damage if it is a tear.
Is there a way to make a roller? Would a rolled up yoga mat work? Will the exercises help with no pain but numb feeling?
Hi Jared, can massaging the muscles with a theragun massager have the same effect please? Or is the roller better? Thank you
Ann
Love your IT band therapies. My question is in what order do I do all this? Do I roll stretch then strengthen all in same session. Or should I gradually work up to doing all of these
Thank you

@@toneandtighten actually I was suffering from lateral knee pain since 03 years... X-Ray failed to diagnose issue.. I did MRI.. in my MRI report.. I first time came across term IT Band syndrome... Since then I hv been exploring for this, watching VDOs.. tried different exercises... but I found, tips u hv told are much helpful for me... Nd also the way u explain in detail is vry appreciable... Thank you again...
Nice, thanks! Can you please tell me which Foam Roll is the best since I noticed that you have told a couple of them and now, I am seeing you are showing Gaiam? Thanks
Do you feel like the foam roller is required for optimal results? How do you feel about a theragun in the same areas instead? Thanks for the info!
Hi. How long can it take to completely recover from the intense IT Band pain while running
Wonderful tips, I’m using it on my back and it’s helpful to open tight muscles .Would like to know how to stretch and strengthen mid and upper back . Thank you 😊
Do you recommend stretching both sides, even though one is currently hurt, just to keep the areas fully stretched going forward.
Do you recommend heat or ice after or below the stretch routine. Thanks
Ah!!! Haven't been able to sleep for weeks because of my it band. Just rolled and stretched. Thank you!!!!!
You are very welcome, Alison! I am so glad this helped!
Planning on starting this asap! Parts 1 and 2
I hope it helps, Lisa!
He finally starts talking about the actual exercise at about 5:12.

You're very welcome, Ali Najafi! I hope they help you! Thanks for commenting.
THANK YOU - instant relief!!!
Great to hear!
could weak and inactive glutes be related to this? i have extremely under active glutes, over active hamstrings and really sore knees, trying to figure out how to get rid of my knee ache, how to properly engage the glutes and stop relying on hamstrings to do glute exercises. will try your foam rolling!
Will try this for me as my knees are paining at work just got your newsletter for my gmail Thanks Ramya
I hope this helps you, Ramya! Thanks for commenting!
How long do I continue these foam rolling as well as the stretching exercises? Until pain free?
So good. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!
