    Get yourself a foam roller.

    They're brilliant for the ITB.

    They're also the most painful thing I've ever experienced!
    Where do you get one? I've been making do with a rolling pin, but it's not as good.

    A Rolling pin !!!! :eek:

    It's bad enough with the foam roller.Apparently the IT band has a huge amount of nerve endings and that's why it hurts so much, but I havent' found anything better for loosening my body than a foam roller so I can live with it.

    Here's an Irish website:

    If you have a scout about you might find them cheaper from the US, but postage costs probably negate any price difference.
