#itband

I attempted to go for a run today but I had immediate pain after mile 3 that stopped me in my tracks. I walked for half a mile then finished my five miles. I’m not sure how much rest I need or what to do but I’m worried I’ll never be ready for this race. I’m pretty frustrated ☹️.

Pictured above: a photo from our track workout last month, me learning to make tamales, my beets and berries smoothie, and my Christmas sweater dress. I love the holidays! Stay healthy friends!

How is your knee today? Check out a few facts about the IT band! Learn more about our courses at jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey The iliotibial tract or iliotibial band is a longitudinal fibrous reinforcement of the fascia lata. The action of the muscles associated with the ITB (tensor fasciae latae and some fibers of gluteus maximus) flex, extend, abduct, and laterally and medially rotate the hip. The ITB contributes to lateral knee stabilization. The IT band is of critical importance to asymmetrical standing (pelvic slouch). The upward pull on the lower attachment of the IT band thrusts the knee back into hyperextension, thereby locking the knee and converting the limb into a rigid supportive pillar. So, don't overuse it! Infographic made by me.

Sometimes you need some #yoga to work out the kinks. My #ITBand has been finicky all day, and my shins and knees were carping a bit after yesterday's long run, so I thought I'd let Nikki Doane take me through #SunSalutations and some standing poses to open the hips and stretch my legs. . #CrossTraining #YogaForRunning #MayaYoga (at La Grange, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDKh5_dFOCR/?igshid=5jao9h5xap5f
