World's Best IT Band Stretch by Dr. Geoffrey Alan Gray

This video shows the best IT band stretch: the 4 point ITB. This stretch targets the hip flexors (psoas) and quadriceps, while concurrently placing tension on the iliotibial band. This stretch also targets the hard to reach fibers of the IT Band on the outside of the knee (lateral retinaculum). Great stretch for runners, walkers, and cyclists. It's tough to do so practice and refer to the video for technique!

Please check with your Doctor, Physical Therapist, or Athletic Trainer before beginning any stretching regimen!
