This is by far my favourite fitness channel on KZbin. No pseudoscience here!

Friendly reminder that Blake recommends taping your mouth shut for better sleep like you're in a hostage situation :D No hate, but this channel has its share of pseudoscience woo as well^^

Great info and exercises. Love the concept of the problem behind the problem. It would be easier to see the correct positions of the exercises if the mat and your clothes were different colours.

Was thinking the same thing!

[@carriemarchand1715]

Me too !

WOW!! I LOVE this video! Especially the part about the knee caving in! I noticed that when some of the kids on my team are asked to hold a certain speed skating position, that their knees are caving inwards and I was wondering what was up with that... the answer may be what was addressed in this video! THANK YOU!!

I am a dancer, pilates yoga instructor... so when the info first came out about not rolling IT band it made sense - it's not muscle and it is not meant to stretch etc. we were told to stretch or release TFL instead n aspect of origin for ITB. However I found no amount of releasing TFL did anything. But I didn't stop rolling the ITB because it worked for me! Later it realised that IT is very close to Vastus lateralis and that is what was super tight! Now I still roll but move a little more medially. Tha'ts my body anyway :)

[@TehBerbDean]

Yes this is a good point that should be discussed. The hamstring and quad can get stuck to it and they need to be manually unstuck and stretched

lovely video

Thank you so much Dr. Garrett, for this info and demonstrations of the exercises! I have had IT band pain in varying degrees throughout my life, and when I was a much younger person, it wasn't too big of a deal. I would just take it easier for a day or 2, and it was all good. But now that I'm in my 50's, in addition to intermittent IT band pain, I also have hip and knee pain which is limiting my range of motion, and affecting the way I like to workout, and my everyday life in general. I am appreciative of the exercises you showed here, and confirmed my thoughts that I have had longstanding issues for many years now, and they are catching up to me! I can't ignore it anymore, so I will try out these exercises you suggested. Question: about how many reps of each exercise would you suggest? And should they be done daily, or several times a week?

That poster in the back ! Of the infant primal stances!! WHAT IS THIS CALLED AGAIN! I have been wanting to look into this, can I get a name or is there any good recommendations on this information ? Thanks

[@naytonthunder]

Great in-depth breakdown BUT I have IT band syndrome and pain on my left knee however during chair test my only right knee which is cave in. That's confusing me. I've had a anterior pelvic tilt which I addressed and working on it. But my left knee confuses and gives feeling I do all wrong...

lovely content

[@GuerrillazenFitness]

haaha thanks

[@cultivatelife8645]

Fantastic video. Is a clunking that happens when lowering a leg in dead bug a tight psoas rolling over bone? Should I stretch it then strengthen it ??

[@agufana]

Can I just do deadlifts to fix this? Seems a lot less complex....

[@geraldkurkjian2922]

Any clues as to a link between mandible, hyoid bone digastric, omohyoid, vision, ocular musles AND glutes, tfl and itb? And if so why and via which route. Take care thx.

[@frzzee1879]

[@EagleFitnesss]
