IT band

Morning, unusual one here

My left IT band is cranked super tight and I think it’s my current ride doing it

Any ideas as to a remedy please?

Left leg is less than a cm linger than the right plus bike is slightly large fir me

A hard foam roller, percussive massage gun like a theragun or sports massage might help.

thanks James, any idea what might cause this?

this is the second bike I have had this issue with- about 3 years ago I has this issue, the bike was also slighlty too large but it was fixed and I attributed the issue to that

Pigeon pose is your friend here

I find foam roller helps but not on the band itself, on the muscle around it instead

I was really hoping for a load of SysOp Dudes to be looking for a drummer

Ha

I had issues with mine from running. I found strengthening helped. Exercise band round my ankles, side step with one foot, then bring the other to meet it. Repeat a few times then do it back the other way

any idea what might cause this

Bike fit, mobility, strength, control. Pick any or all.

this routine fixed it for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydcy3dPf__M

mind the short shorts

but I guess it depends on what's causing it. mine was to do with tight hips

thanks everyone, lotta great info here
