More about the IT band. The lateral aspect o your thigh- the outside of the leg- is extremely important to pay attention to. It will alert you to issues with your feet, mostly Plantar Fascitus. This is a condition when the connective tissue at the bottom of the feet is too tight, usually causing pain, but also responsible for pulling down the arch. This alters the distribution of weight, so that more stress is placed on the outside of the leg, causing the tightness. There are MANY problems associated with this. Sciatic pain, that lower back pain that travels down the leg, can be associated with this. Also, the compression on the hip joint can produce the damage that leads to hip replacement. WHY WOULDNT YOU WANT TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PROBLEM!!!! Truthfully, doesnt a massage sound like a better option than a hip replacement!!!! I face people with this problem many timspes a day, and it breaks my heart when someone does not follow through with massage, either with me, or if they are a tourist, when they return home. If you need to have me speak to your therapist when you return to ensure you get the proper treatment, I am very ha to do so. I WANT YOU ALL TO GET BETTER!!!! I will write about T Bands, alignment, feet and more. If you have a question, PLEASE post them!!!! I am here to serve. Use me while you have me. I will not be here forever!
