Every so often I pull out my trigger point rollers and use them to loosen up my legs and hips. Every time I think to myself “why don’t I do this more often?”. Hopefully this time I will keep them out and handy to make the trigger point system part of my regular routine. It really does help to make my hips and IT band feel much better.
Trigger Point - Love The Hurt.
What’s the down side? IT HURTS! but it hurts so good. Especially on the hips and IT bands, which makes perfect sense because that is where I am currently the most tight. It is still early in this training cycle so I will do my best to keep using the TP system and finally free my hips from being so tight.
I usually just do the sequence on my own starting on my calf’s then adjusting to my quads. Then roll out to my IT (this is the one that hurts). Then my sciatica. All in all, it takes about 30 minutes to get my legs good and loose. And I can totally feel the difference after it is done. I highly recommend this to anybody who feels a little tight or is prone to certain injuries, such as IT band syndrome.
