    Hey,

    Is the foam roller the only way to go for an ITB problem? Willing to go through the pain of massage but I wonder does the roller do the job just as well.

    Anyone know how long it takes to stretch out a really tight ITB this way.

    What did your "health care professional" say?

    I got dry needling (like acupuncture) done on my ITB. Its deep tissue needling. very very sore but results are fantastic. look in to a physio that does this perhaps?

    Hey,

    A Physio is treating my back.....we've not moved onto the ITB yet....
    I first had an ITB problem with left leg...then immediately, once i got the left sorted out, the right got really bad, within only about 10 miles of running!

    I was going Physical Therapist for massage directly onto my ITB but physio says leave that off for a while.

    I'd think about acupunture too....

    Cheers!
