I am an advocate of purchasing a theraband to do most of these exercises. I will add that my PT and I tried the plunger technique to cure my ITBS ailment. We didn't have any success. It was a very comical experience as it made noises that brought the maturity down to a 5th grade level. I could feel the ITB 'lifting' but it never helped with the inflammation it was causing. Maybe others had more luck. Very timely post and something we all need to focus on during the ‘base building’ season. I am an advocate of purchasing a theraband to do most of these exercises.
