I recently have had pain on the outside of my left knee. After doing some research I realized two things. First, I don't stretch enough, which is strange. I come from a cheerleading and gymnastics backround and always stretched. Second, my IT band causing my knee pain.
I did some research and started stretching the area. It didn't really help. So, I decided to get a foam roller. I had heard they were painful but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. It felt like this foam roll was covered in spikes. I followed the instructions and rolled out my IT band and my calves. It hurt so good! After I finished I felt great and it doesn't hurt walking today like it had previous days. If you're having IT band pain, I definitely recomend stretching and foam rolling. Take this groups seriously! It can cause a lot of long term pain if you don't!
