To stretch the iliotibial band, stand about an arm's length from a wall, placing the palm of your hand against the wall. Cross the outside leg to the front and over the inside leg. Maintaining the torso's vertical position parallel to the wall, move the torso toward the wall. The front knee bends, while the rear leg remains straight. You will be stretcing the ITB of the rear leg. Allow your supporting elbow to bend as much as needed to keep your torso vertical as you sink toward the wall. Be sure to keep the outside hip dropped, rather than letting it hike upward. Repeat on the other side.
