Iliotibial band (ITB) standing stretch

The standing ITB stretch is performed by placing the affected leg behind the unaffected leg, then bringing the legs towards each other by advancing the hind foot so the toes of both feet are nearly aligned ("legs tightly crossed"). From this position, push the hip of the affected leg towards the wall. A stretching sensation should be appreciated over the ITB and lateral thigh of the posterior leg.
