ULTIMATE IT BAND RELIEF GUIDE

After running for 5 years, I suddenly developed a sharp shooting pain down my left leg. Limping and hobbling along for weeks, I finally caved, went to the doctor and first heard the words “Iliotibial Band Syndrome”.

The following two years were a frustrating experience of getting my running grove back, followed by agony and a simple prescription to rest.

Rest doesn’t work! Tired of going through the same cycle? Tired of the pain?

STOP THE ONGOING CYCLE OF FLARE UPS!

THIS IN-DEPTH GUIDE IS DESIGNED TO BE EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE.

First, you’ll understand the cause behind your pain and then you’ll learn how to fix it for good.No more smelling like creams, swallowing pills to mask pain during a run (please don’t do that) or worrying that your speed workout is going to send you back to the sidelines.

Don’t follow in my footsteps of ignoring the pain and trying to simply continue on. ITBS doesn’t work that way. Until you pay attention, it’s going to kick, scream, fight and eventually throw a full on temper tantrum.

But it’s not irreversible. Once I began using these techniques, I waved good by to ITBS and most other injuries for the next 10 years, while running over 1600 miles a year. Get back to enjoying your run and pursuing your big goals with a few simple changes.

Testimonials

I like your book and I think you have covered pretty much everything in the book that I have been encountering since I started my triathlon (mostly marathon runs). I am optimistic that this book alone will help me fix any upcomming issues with my Ironman training. Hats off to you for taking the time to write the book. – Syed

Yes! Yes! Yes! Mine too! Long story short… I couldn’t run my goal marathon in September due to IT band issues. I followed your advice and exercises and was able to run a different marathon in November. And, I PR’d!! Thank you SO much!! – Kristen Myers

Just wanted you know that your exercises totally fixed my IT band! Thank you thank you!! – Sarah B
