I've been thinking trigger point therapy is pseudoscience for a while. I doubt it is possible to stretch the IT band. If it was possible couldn't you over stretch it?
- HiroshiSan 8y agoI'm not sure about the it band, but foam rolling my calves massively decreases the pain and tightness I get from walking, and if I make foam rolling a habit, I no longer get pain. Also, it's possible the pain is gone from just walking a lot but it don't think this is the case because I get pain if I walk a lot and don't foam roll.
- justinator 8y agoGood chance that foam rolling does 0 for your calf muscles/tendons, but breaks up the bonds of sticking fascia, which tfa doesn't touch upon at all. Foam rolling doesn't need to be overdone, either.
- CuriouslyC 8y agoThe why of trigger point therapy is almost certainly wrong, but the results are unquestionable.
