    Summary

    Many runners believe that foam rolling is essential for IT band rehab. The theory behind it is that tightness in the IT band causes compression and friction, leading to pain.


    However, a recent study found that foam rolling for IT band syndrome is ineffective. The study found no difference in flexibility or stiffness between the foam rolling, stretching, and control groups.


    This suggests that foam rolling is a waste of time for IT band syndrome. Alternative approaches may be more effective, and seeking professional help is recommended for those struggling with IT band pain.
