TBT for IT Band

Latae anyone?

Tensor Fascia Latae is not a type of coffee but a wide band of muscle that works in conjunction with the Myofascia commonly known as the Iliotibial or IT band that runs down the outside of the thigh from the hip, to the knee. If you’ve ever been “corked” in the side of the leg, you will know exactly where it is and how hard it is to stand up straight if this muscle or fascial band is sore.

TFL assists in steadying your torso and the thigh to ensure you can manoeuvre when you change direction. Commonly loaded up when you play Squash Rugby Badminton or Touch it can also get loaded up if you have to stand with most of your weight on one leg such as sailing on the same tack for hours. This can pull your hips and even your knees out of line so they eventually stay offset and can cause nasty knee hip and lower back pain.

All muscles are encased in a strong membrane called myofascia, it can be hard soft, even liquid, depending on the job we need it to do in that part of the body.

Fascia or Myofascia can withstand up to 2000psi of pressure so forcing it to re- spond won’t work, this exer- cise is about patience.

TFL can also be tight from standing on one leg while you have a chat, if you have this habit try swapping sides for a while and notice how hard it can be to do, now imagine the pressure this places on the lower back.

A simple way to get, or keep, your body On the Ball.

You may have heard an old quote "when you need a cop they are never around!" ... well we found the same thing applied to getting good remedial therapy for sore muscles "when you need a massage therapist, they are always all booked up!"

So we developed TBT for me, and now for you too!

We tried lots of other options, looking for the ‘Goldilocks’ answer. We wanted them to be soft enough to not do damage, and hard enough to get into those hard to release old injuries. After months of trying things like those big expensive rollers you see in gyms, golf balls, even cricket balls, and eventually found that High Pressure Competition Grade tennis balls when used the right way are 'just right' to get in and loosen up those tight muscles, without doing damage to the surrounding tissue and nerves.
