		<description><![CDATA[Hey Amy,

Great to hear your finding the quadballer effective. To really cure IT Band issues you do need to do more than just roll the IT Band area. Actually hitting your calves, specifically soleus and then releasing your quads (hit more on the center and slightly lateral then IT Band). Then get into your psoas and glutes (especially glute medius) and stay hydrated. 

This is the surefire way to be rid of IT Band pain in a very short time. I know... it&#039;s why I got started with working with Cassidy at Trigger Point. 

Joe, for hamstrings, we treat front to back... if your hammies are feeling tight, before even thinking of stretching them, see if your hips are tilted forward, because if they are your hammies will be over lengthened thus over stretched. 

So treat quads and psoas a lot and I find a great way to break up adhesion&#039;s in the hammies is to sit on a chair, place a TP massage ball between chair and tender spots on your hamstring and then slowly extend and flex your leg while making sure to breathe.

Hope that helps.
