Ilio-tibial Band: Please do not use a foam roller!
Some years ago, while working in the Anatomy laboratory of University of Melbourne with my colleague Dr Eanna Falvey, we carried out a 3 part study into the anatomy, and strain of the Iliotibial band, including an examination of the Obers Test used to assess its role in lateral knee pain in runners.
Just in…NO on Foam Roller!
Attention Foam Roller Masochists, Cease and Desist!
