Exercise of the Week #47 Partner IT Band Stretch

EXERCISE OF THE WEEK #47

PARTNER IT BAND STRETCH

The Fourth move in our partner stretching series is the Partner IT band. We have done one other for the hamstring but we are also big fans of the IT Band stretch for the additional lumbar twist associated with the exercise. The twist enables for not only great lumbar rotation it adds additional lengthening of the Glutes, Tensor Fascia Latea, Erectors, and of course the hamstring. As with all the moves, be careful to not force the person you are stretching too far. Allow their body to settle into the move before you begin to push them farther.
